The United Nations on Saturday denounced the “sharp rise in hatred globally” since the war between Hamas and Israel began on October 7.

“The impact of this crisis… has sent shockwaves across every region, dehumanising both Palestinians and Jews. We have witnessed a sharp spike in hate speech, violence and discrimination, deepening social fractures and polarisation,” UN human rights chief Volker Turk said in a statement.
