Antisemitic incidents have spiked across the U.S. in the year since the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack in Israel — an “avalanche” of disturbing reports as assaults, death threats, Nazi salutes and more have been reported at local schools.

More than 10,000 antisemitic incidents have been recorded in the U.S. since last year’s Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack, according to new data from the Anti-Defamation League.

This is the highest number of incidents ever recorded in any single year period since the ADL started tracking in 1979.

These newly released figures — from Oct. 7, 2023 to Sept. 24, 2024 — represent an over 200% increase compared to the year before. The more than 10,000 incidents in the last year is a stunning surge from the 3,325 incidents during the previous year.
