The number of antisemitic attacks in the US soared 200% to more than 10,000 incidents this past year — the most ever recorded by the Anti-Defamation League and fueled by a massive jump on college campuses.
The number of antisemitic attacks in the US soared 200% to more than 10,000 incidents this past year — the most ever recorded by the Anti-Defamation League and fueled by a massive jump on college campuses.
At least 1,200 of this past year’s hateful incidents occurred at universities — a deeply troubling 500% increase between Oct. 7, 2023, and Sept. 24, 2024, when compared to the 200 such occurrences in the same period last year, the ADL said.
“Today, we mourn the victims of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack in Israel, marking one year since the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust,’’ said the head of the ADL, Jonathan Greenblatt, in a statement Sunday.
‘“From that day on, Jewish Americans haven’t had a single moment of respite,’’ he said of the slaughter that launched the latest Mideast war.
