The conflict between Hamas and Israel has led to a rise in antisemitism across the U.S., and Jewish organizations are helping Jews defend themselves and worship in freedom and peace.
While tensions rise worldwide as Israel mounts its response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attacks, American Jews have become the targets of increased antisemitic hate. Carolyn Normandin, the regional director of the Anti-Defamation League in Michigan, told Fox News Digital about the situation on the ground in her state. 'We typically get two to three incidents a week. In three weeks between Oct. 7 and Oct. 21, we got 61 ,' Normandin said.
In addition to a number of threats delivered over social media, Normandin said her office has vetted and responded to in-person attacks. In one incident, rocks were thrown at Michigan Jews. In another, an individual called a doctor’s office and made threats related to the conflict in Israel against a Jewish physician. Jewish-owned businesses have been targeted by individuals issuing 'outbursts or hate-filled messages' like 'shut it down' outside their establishments.
