A Jewish civil rights organization says its annual tally of antisemitic incidents in the U.S. reached a record high last year
The 11-day war led to hundreds of “anti-Israel” protests and rallies in the U.S., the report says. But the group says its audit didn't include those events unless they “featured slogans or signs that directly linked their opposition to Israel or Zionism to all Jews or incorporated antisemitic tropes.”
The group's tally of total 2,717 incidents last year included 1,776 cases of harassment, a 43% increase from 1,242 in 2020. ADL also counted a 14% increase in vandalism cases and a 167% increase in assault incidents . The 88 assault incidents involved 131 victims, none of whom were killed, the report says.
