A recent survey has identified a Turkish lawmaker's demand to ban Holocaust films as the most antisemitic incident of the year so far.
The poll was conducted by Avlaremoz, a Jewish community platform. It asked participants to choose the most significant antisemitic event in 2025.
The winning choice was a call by Özlem Zengin, a parliament member from Turkey's ruling AKP party. She publicly demanded a ban on movies about the Holocaust, the genocide of Jewish people during World War II.
The survey results highlight ongoing concerns about antisemitism in public discourse. The incident has drawn sharp criticism from human rights advocates and Jewish community leaders internationally.
