A total of 10,000 antisemitic incidents were recorded in the US since October 7 - the highest number of incidents in the ADL's history.
American Jews have experienced a historic “explosion of anti-Jewish hate since October 7,” according to new findings by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to mark the first anniversary of the Hamas attack.CAM’s study, led by Dr. Ira Sheskin and Dr. Misha Galperin, found that of the 5.8 million Jews living in the United States, 3.5 million have directly experienced antisemitism since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war.
The US is home to the largest Jewish community outside of Israel.
“The explosion of anti-Jewish hate since October 7 in this country has profoundly impacted individuals, families, and communities,” said Galperin, a member of CAM’s Board of Governors. Galperin told The Jerusalem Post that CAM wanted the focus of the study to be not on the number of incidents but on the people impacted. The findings of this, he told the Post, were “staggering.”
