Assaults against U.S. Jews reach 46-year high

Physical assaults against Jewish people in the U.S. last year reached the highest levels since 1979, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) announced Wednesday.

Why it matters: An overall decline in anti-Jewish harassment and vandalism didn't extend to a reduction in violence.

ADL counted 6,274 antisemitic incidents in 2025, down 33% from 2024, but still the third-highest year on record.
Last year saw 203 anti-Jewish assaults, up from 196 in 2024. 32 of those assaults involved deadly weapons, up from 23 in 2024.
