January 14, 2026 — Antisemitic incidents in the United States has reached record highs in recent years.
According to the Anti-Defamation League, 9,354 attacks reported in 2024 — a 5% increase from 2023, and the most ever recorded since the ADL began tracking in 1979.
Since the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks in Israel, a global rise in antisemitism has set off a wave of incidents around the world.
In Mississippi, a man started a fire at a historical synagogue, admitting he did so because it had Jewish ties. Ironically, that same synagogue, a half-century earlier, had been bombed because the Rabbi spoke out in favor of Civil Rights for African-Americans.
During a press briefing in New York, officials talked about the disproportionate numbers of antisemitic attacks taking place compared to any other group in New York.

It's people taken, buildings burned, lives stolen.
They are Jewish, and they are being targeted at a staggering rate.
