More than a year after Hamas’s horrific attack on Israel, antisemitism in the United States is alive and spreading. Recently released FBI data reveal anti-Jewish hate crimes reached a record number of 11,862 incidents in 2023, accounting for 15% of all hate crimes against a community that totals just 2% of the American population. This is over 300% higher than it was in 2022 and 430% above the 2021 level.

Despite the vast investments of political, financial, and other resources in the battle to combat antisemitism, when Israel is forced into a multi-front war of survival, antisemites across America are emboldened and empowered. And those brandishing the flags of Hamas, Hezbollah, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and other U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organizations have made it clear that the target of their hatred is not just the Jews, but the U.S. as well.
