U.S. antisemitic assaults surge to a 46-year high amid overall harassment dip
New ADL data show antisemitic incidents in 2025 reached their highest level since 1979, with 6,274 total incidents and 203 anti-Jewish assaults (three fatalities), even as overall harassment and vandalism declined from 2024. The report highlights major hotspot metros like New York City, notes campus incidents fell sharply, and emphasizes that the drop should not be mistaken for progress as antisemitism remains widespread; broader geopolitical tensions and cross-community initiatives are shaping responses.
