The idea
Synagogues, schools, museums, community centers, and kosher markets can be attacked not because of any individual act, but because Jews are cast as a collective enemy.
The recurring move
The attacker turns a local Jewish place into a proxy for a global story: state conflict, racial replacement, religious war, or hidden control.
Argentina · 18 July 1994
A bomb destroyed the AMIA Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires, killing 85 people and injuring hundreds. The institution served community needs; its occupants and neighbours were not a military target. Antisemitic terrorism treated the place as a symbol that could stand for an entire people.
