Global antisemitism hits a 30-year high in 2025, J7 reports

A J7 report tracking antisemitism across seven major countries outside Israel says 2025 saw over 23,000 incidents, with 20 deaths (including 15 in the Bondi Beach attack in Australia) and a 97% rise in violent incidents since 2022. The surge is linked to Gaza-related anti-Zionism and online extremism, with Jews in several countries reporting hiding their identity. The study urges governments, law enforcement and civil society to protect Jewish communities and address hate before it escalates further, noting Ireland’s included data and noting rising anti-Semitism across the US, UK, France, Germany, Australia, Canada and Argentina.
