The year 2004 was marked by a drastic increase in anti-Semitic incidents, a Tel Aviv university study has revealed, saying the number of violent incidents last year marked the highest recorded since 1989.
The report, conducted by Tel Aviv?s Stephen Roth Institute for the Study of Contemporary Anti-Semitism and Racism, the World Jewish Congress and the Anti-Defamation League, showed
