Record High Physical Assaults Against Jews in 2025 Despite Drop in Overall Antisemitic Incidents
- In 2025, antisemitic physical assaults reached a record-high 203 incidents, despite a 33% overall decrease in antisemitic incidents to 6,274.
- The decline in overall incidents was largely due to a 66% drop in antisemitic incidents on college campuses, attributed to increased institutional responses.
- The ADL noted that 45% of antisemitic incidents in 2025 were related to Israel or Zionism, down from 58% in 2024.
