(Worthy News) – The US-based Anti-Defamation League has reported there were over 10,000 antisemitic incidents in the United States after the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel triggered the current war in Gaza.
In a report released on October 6, 2024, the ADL said the number of antisemitic incidents in the US that it documented from October 7, 2023 to September 24, 2024 represent a more than 200% increase compared to the number of incidents (3,325) reported in the same period a year earlier.
The ADL breaks down the 10,000 antisemitic incidents into the following as follows: “Over 8,015 incidents of verbal or written harassment. Over 1,840 incidents of vandalism. Over 150 incidents of physical assault.”
“At least 1,200 of these antisemitic incidents happened on college campuses, the ADL report reads. “In the same period a year before, ADL recorded about 200 incidents, representing a 500-percent increase. Of these incidents, over 2,000 occurred at Jewish institutions such as synagogues and Jewish centers.”
“Over 3,000 of all incidents took place during anti-Israel rallies, which featured regular explicit expressions of support for terrorist groups including Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), one of the most concerning antisemitic trends ADL captured since October 7, 2023,” the ADL report added.
