Report: Antisemitism increases – worse than in 30 years

Antisemitic attacks reached a grim milestone in 2025, marking the deadliest year in over three decades, according to a report released Wednesday. The findings indicate a significant and alarming rise in hostility directed towards Jewish communities globally.

The report, compiled by J7, an organization representing leading Jewish groups across seven countries, documented a staggering number of incidents. In 2025 alone, over 23,000 antisemitic incidents were recorded in Argentina, Australia, France, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United States. These nations collectively represent more than 90 percent of the global Jewish diaspora.

William C. Daroff, CEO of the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA), a member of J7, stated that antisemitism is no longer a temporary surge but a sustained global crisis. He emphasized its pervasive impact on Jewish communities in all seven countries studied. The report highlights the severity of the situation, noting that 2025 saw 20 deaths in antisemitic attacks, the highest number since the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish center in Buenos Aires.

The data underscores a deeply concerning trend, suggesting that antisemitism has become a persistent and widespread threat. The report's findings serve as a stark warning about the escalating challenges faced by Jewish populations worldwide, demanding increased attention and action from international bodies and governments.
