Since the Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians on October 7th, there has been a significant spike in antisemitic incidents across the United States. Preliminary data from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Center on Extremism indicates that reported incidents of harassment, vandalism, and assault increased by 388 percent over the same period last year.
The ADL recorded a total of 312 antisemitic incidents between October 7th and 23rd, 2023, 190 of which were directly linked to the war in Israel and Gaza. By comparison, during the same period in 2022, ADL received preliminary reports of 64 incidents, including four that were Israel-related.
ADL also tracked anti-Israel rallies since October 7th, at least 109 of which ADL found explicit or strong implicit support for Hamas and/or violence against Jews in Israel. These 109 are included in ADL’s tally of antisemitic incidents.
