Recent Antisemitic Surge
Following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, antisemitic incidents spiked globally. The Anti-Defamation League reported 8,873 cases in the US during 2023, up 140% from previous years. Assaults, vandalism, and harassment targeting Jews increased sharply. Much of this antisemitism is connected to anti-Israel sentiment. Jewish students faced particular hostility on college campuses across North America and Europe.
