The ADL said the numbers were the most since it began tracking incidents in 1979. The league’s announcement noted “an upward trendline of hate and vitriol” toward American Jews the past five years.
The rise in antisemitic attacks contrasts with recent survey results showing Jews as the most favorably viewed religious community in the U.S.
New York, California, New Jersey, Florida and Texas accounted for 54% of the reported incidents of antisemitic attacks, the ADL said. College and university campuses saw a 41% increase in antisemitic activity last year, with more than 219 incidents at more than 130 campuses. Also in 2022 were 494 antisemitic incidents at non-Jewish elementary and secondary schools, a 49% yearly rise.
Julie Platt, chairwoman of the Jewish Federations of North America, told The Washington Times via email, “This alarming data backs up what our Jewish communities see, hear and feel every day. This is why Jewish Federations are investing so heavily in communal security and combating antisemitism, and continue to advocate for increased Nonprofit Security Grant funding.“
