This panel explores the multifaceted nature of contemporary antisemitism across diverse geographic and political contexts, interrogating how antisemitic attitudes are expressed, instrumentalised, and experienced in the wake of the October 2023 Hamas attacks and the Gaza conflict. Moving beyond monolithic understandings of antisemitism, the papers explore how this phenomenon intersects with far-right politics, religious fundamentalism, foreign conflict domestication, and lived Jewish experiences. The panel brings together empirical research from Australia, Israel, Austria, Germany, Poland, and the United Kingdom to reveal the complexity and variability of contemporary antisemitism. Collectively, these papers challenge the tendency to externalise antisemitism by framing "the antisemite" as always "the Other." Through survey research, ethnography, discourse analysis, and interviews, the panel demonstrates that antisemitism must be understood as a broader societal phenomenon that operates differently across political spectrums, religious communities, and national contexts. Papers reveal how foreign conflicts become domesticated to advance exclusionary agendas, how radical actors leverage societal opportunity structures independently of formal institutions, and how Jewish communities' responses to antisemitism are shaped by national histories and minority experiences with discrimination.
