In mid November 2023, New Zealand's [[Department of Internal Affairs (New Zealand)|Department of Internal Affairs]] (DIA) and [[The Disinformation Project]] reported a surge in both anti-Semitism and [[Islamophobia]] in New Zealand following the Israel-Hamas war. Antisemitic content surfaced on both social media and gaming platforms. According to Disinformation Project researcher Kate Hannah, [[History of the Jews in New Zealand|New Zealand Jews]] were increasingly conflated with all Israelis and the Israeli Government. Hannah said that these attitudes were anti-semitic, xenophobic and contributed to division in New Zealand society. Similarly, New Zealand Jewish Council spokesperson Juliet Moses reported a surge in anti-semitic threats of violence, death threats and extreme abuse both online and offline since 7 October.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Frykberg |first1=Laura |title=Rise in antisemitic and Islamophobic online content in NZ since October 7|url=https://www.1news.co.nz/2023/11/22/rise-in-antisemitic-and-islamophobic-online-content-in-nz-since-oct-7/ |access-date=17 December 2023 |work=[[1News]] |publisher=[[TVNZ]] |date=22 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231209152220/https://www.1news.co.nz/2023/11/22/rise-in-antisemitic-and-islamophobic-online-content-in-nz-since-oct-7/ |archive-date=9 December 2023}}</ref>

In mid December 2023, a survey conducted by the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand reported that New Zealand Jewish children were encountering an increase in antisemitic abuse, intimidation, and bullying. In two cases, one child was physically assaulted and another had a [[swastika]] and a [[Star of David]] drawn side-by-side on their school shirt. While the Holocaust Centre usually dealt with two formal anti-Semitic complaints each year, the number of complaints had increased by five times in the past two months since 7 October 2023. According to the Holocaust Centre, 40% of the incidents reported in the survey involved dehumanising and demonising allegations about Jews. These included children being greeted by their peers with [[Nazi salute]]s, being called "dirty Jews," being told "Jews control the world," and jokes about Jews being gassed, and the [[blood libel]] claim that Jews "chopped off baby's heads." However, only 40% of parents reported these incidents to their schools with the majority preferring to resolve the matter with the parent of the bullying child.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Howie |first1=Cherie |title=Jewish children facing increased antisemitism in New Zealand schools |url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/jewish-children-facing-increased-antisemitism-in-new-zealand-schools/HZMDBWBETZH4VPAUNWOKGSQQTA/ |access-date=18 December 2023 |work=[[The New Zealand Herald]] |date=16 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231217071531/https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/jewish-children-facing-increased-antisemitism-in-new-zealand-schools/HZMDBWBETZH4VPAUNWOKGSQQTA/ |archive-date=17 December 2023}}</ref>
