NEWS: U.S. Antisemitic Incidents Skyrocket in Aftermath of Attack in Israel

In the three months since the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, U.S. antisemitic incidents have risen dramatically, reaching a total of 3,283 incidents, according to ADL’s preliminary data. This represents a sharp increase compared to the same period one year prior, putting 2023 on track to be the highest year for antisemitic acts against Jews since ADL started tracking this data in the late 1970s.

“The American Jewish community is facing a threat level that’s now unprecedented in modern history,” said Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL CEO. “It’s shocking that we’ve recorded more antisemitic acts in three months than we usually would in an entire year.”

New ADL Report Card to Help Students and Parents: ADL will publish a “report card” every spring that will offer students, parents, guidance counselors, admissions consultants, concerned alumni and others with a comprehensive tool and comparative ranking to evaluate how colleges and universities are taking action to combat anti-Jewish hate on their campuses. This month, ADL is sending a letter to colleges and universities across the country with significant Jewish populations, informing them of ADL’s forthcoming evaluation and requesting data on their efforts to address antisemitism and protect Jewish students. The report card is in line with our call for campuses to
commit to No Tolerance for Antisemitism. ADL intends to release preliminary results in time for students and parents of incoming students to have this critical information before they need to make college commitments this spring.

Solidarity or Prejudice?: Carole Nuriel, head of ADL’s Israel-based office, writes about how to distinguish between legitimate solidarity with the plight of Palestinians and endorsement of underlying prejudices against Jews, Zionism and Israel.


As the current war is in its third month, Palestinians and their supporters should do the moral thing by disentangling solidarity with Palestinians from anti-Jewish animus, as well as by being mindful of the ways in which such animus fosters a broader antisemitic climate. While it’s hard to imagine today a future of peaceful coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians, building a foundation for such a possibility will require seeking opportunities to create understanding and mutual respect, and the avoidance of hateful, antisemitic tropes.

Explaining an Unsettling Time to Students: The brutal Hamas attacks in Israel and subsequent global rise in antisemitism are profoundly unsettling, and reinforce the need for all people to understand, identify and challenge antisemitism in our world. These new resources for educators are intended to help middle and high school students make sense of current antisemitic incidents. Others with young people in their lives may also find them to be helpful.

Take Action Today

Anger over the Israel-Hamas conflict can seep into American society in the form of antisemitic harassment, assault and vandalism. Join ADL in urging Congress to pass emergency funding for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program. NSGP provides grants to organizations such as synagogues, religious schools and community centers that can be used to install security cameras, reinforce steel doors and prepare for emergencies.

@ADL


We are shocked by the antisemitic words spoken to the Leffell Girls Varsity Basketball team last week but heartened by the quick action by both schools to hold those responsible to account and to send a clear message that hate will not be tolerated. We have reached out to both schools to offer support and resources.

3 months ago today, the world changed forever. I still can’t get the horrific images out of my head, the heartbreak of the hostages, the horror I later personally witnessed in Kfar Aza. 10/7 reaffirmed my commitment to fight the poison of antisemitism and the evil of #antizionism with every fiber of my being. #BringThemHomeNow.
