Anti-Semitic incidents have jumped 400 percent in the past 10 years in Canada, a B’nai Brith Canada study released Wednesday indicates.

The group said in its annual survey that there were 1,042 incidents reported in 2007, up 11.4 percent from 2006 alone, the Canadian Broadcast Corp. reported. The group also noted a 51.9 percent increase in anti-Semitic incidents on university and college campuses in Canada.

Allan Adel, president of B’nai Brith’s human rights league, said the audit reveals that over the years the majority of reported cases consistently occurred in Ontario, though there was a spike in Quebec this year, as well.

“Each incident has a victim behind it, said Anita Bromberg, director of B’nai Brith Canada’s legal department. What is anti-Semitism in Canada today? It’s the victims, the young, the elderly, the university student, the professor at work, the professional at work, or at home or on the streets.”
