New analysis from ADL’s Center on Extremism reveals that antisemitic incidents in the U.S. more than doubled during the May 2021 military conflict between Israel and Hamas and its immediate aftermath compared to the same time period in 2020. After peaking between May 20-22, 2021, incident levels have gradually returned to a baseline level. This week, we are featuring resources that highlight the rise in antisemitism in the wake of the conflict, extremism in law enforcement and how ADL collects its data.
