U.S. Antisemitic Incidents Soar Following Hamas Attack

The Anti-Defamation League reports a 360% increase in antisemitic incidents, with Jewish institutions and educational settings particularly affected.

Antisemitic incidents in the U.S. have risen by 360% in the three months following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
The ADL tracked a total of 3,283 antisemitic incidents between Oct. 7 and Jan. 7, marking a significant increase compared to the same period in 2022.
Of these incidents, 1,353 involved verbal or written harassment, 553 involved vandalism, and 60 were physical assaults.
At least 628 incidents were reported against Jewish institutions, such as synagogues, and roughly two-thirds of the total could be directly related to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Significant numbers of incidents were also reported in educational settings, with at least 505 on college campuses and 246 in K-12 schools.
