Antisemitism Around the Globe: ADL and the rest of the J7 — seven of the largest Jewish communities in the Diaspora —
appreciate the strong support of our governments and our law enforcement agencies for our Jewish communities, both in public statements and in actions to guarantee our security. Regrettably, our communities are seeing a shocking increase in antisemitic incidents, which foreshadows a troubling period ahead. Read the J7 statement
for a list of actions we are calling on government leaders around the world to take. For a rolling list of global antisemitic incidents since the Hamas attack, including incidents just this week in Vienna, London, Amsterdam and more, read this ADL International Affairs blog.
Antisemitism + Political Violence:
Highly antisemitic Americans are three times more likely to support violence to achieve certain political goals than the general population. This is the main finding of a new report from the ADL Center for Antisemitism Research and the University of Chicago Project on Security and Threats. It identifies a dangerous nexus between the increase in antisemitism and the deep distrust of longstanding democratic norms, institutions and processes. This is not limited to one party or ideology — we found support for political violence both on the far left and the extreme right.

of vocal anger and financial pushback by megadonors against universities where the leadership continues to dither and equivocate on condemning Hamas and supporting the safety of their Jewish students. For more on this, be sure to read ‘Colleges Must Support Their Jewish Students Without Equivocation’, an op-ed in Newsweek from Jonathan and Hillel CEO Adam Lehman.
“They are in the house”:
During an ADL crisis webinar last week, we heard heartbreaking insights from an Israeli who found out in real time as his family members were taken hostage by Hamas. “There are terrorists outside the house,” then “They are in the house.” These are the last two messages he got from his relatives. The next he saw of them was their presence on a Hamas propaganda video.
