In the wake of the October 7th massacre by Hamas, antisemitism has surged in Sweden, infiltrating classrooms and daily life.
Jewish students are unfairly held accountable for Israel's actions in Gaza, facing revived stereotypes and increased hate crimes.
Despite political efforts to combat antisemitism, societal indifference persists, with extremist narratives gaining traction.

A national strategy focusing on evidence-based measures is crucial to address this growing threat effectively.
