Abstract
Terrorism against Jewish communities and Israeli targets abroad represents the most violent aspect of contemporary antisemitism, and the greatest physical danger to Diaspora Jewish communities. Antisemitic conspiracy theory, extremist ideology and irrational hatred combine with the rational calculations of political violence to threaten the lives of ordinary Jews and others all over the world. This ongoing terrorist threat to Jews demonstrates in the starkest terms why Jewish communities require security at their synagogues, schools and community buildings, and that an attack on a Diaspora Jewish community is also an attack on the state and its capacity to protect its citizens.
Terrorist Incidents Against Jewish Communities and Israelis Abroad catalogues 427 terrorist attacks and
plots, including those which were foiled by police or aborted by the plotters, which targeted Jews or Israelis outside
Israel between 1968 and 2010. It includes attacks and plots by neo-Nazis, Marxist-Leninists, anarchists, Palestinian
and other Arab nationalists, revolutionary Iran and its surrogates and radical Sunni Islamists. The first edition of this book, which was published in 2003 by CST and the Institute for Counter-Terrorism in Herzliya, Israel, was the first time that this history of post-1967 anti-Jewish terrorism had been comprehensively collated. This
edition includes an updated chronology of attacks, an expanded analysis and new statistical tables.
