SPECIAL REPORT – ACCELERATING HATE: The Impact of October 7 on Terrorismand Political Violence in the West

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The horrific attacks by Hamas on October 7, 2023, fundamentally shifted the security posture of the
Middle East, while also having severe humanitarian consequences and ripple effects in countries
throughout the globe, including many in the West. This TSC Special Report, generously sponsored by the
Airey Neave Trust, aims to explore how October 7 impacted several Western countries, including the
United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy. While the conflict remains ongoing – and
indeed will reverberate long after the fighting actually ends — this report attempts to take the pulse of
five Western countries just shy of the one-year anniversary marking the attack.
