(Hill) Antisemitic incidents in the U.S. in the three months since Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel have surged, eclipsing annual statistics for the past decade.
According to data compiled by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), antisemitic incidents rose 360 percent between Oct. 7 and Jan. 7 when compared with the same time frame one year prior.
But the 3,283 incidents in a quarter of the year also surpasses annual statistics for each of the past 10 years except 2022 — which saw the highest level of antisemitic incidents on record.
“The American Jewish community is facing a threat level that’s now unprecedented in modern history,” ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said in a statement.
