The number of antisemitic incidents in the United States spiked in 2017, according to a new report by the Anti-Defamation League. There were 1,986 acts of antisemitism in the US last year, according to an ADL audit released Tuesday. That is more than double the total from 2015, which was 942. It’s also a 57 percent increase over the 2016 total of 1,267. The audit said that the rise is due in part to an increase in people reporting incidents of antisemitism.
