After two years of dramatically increasing numbers of antisemitic incidents, the Anti-Defamation League announced on Wednesday that it recorded the highest number of physical assaults in 2025 of any of its annual audits. These attacks resulted in more than 300 victims. And for the first time since 2019, antisemitic attacks claimed lives, with three people killed last year.
In the post-Oct. 7, 2023 attacks atmosphere, antisemitism clearly continues to rage. Still, it is important to note where incidents have declined. The most dramatic drop in incidents was noted on college and university campuses, where acts of antisemitism fell from 1,694 to 583 over the course of a year. The ADL largely attributes this to the “decline of the anti-Israel encampment movement.”
