Anti-Defamation League releases 2025 annual audit on antisemitic incidents in the United States
The ADL released its 2025 annual audit on Wednesday, documenting 203 antisemitic assaults, a 4% increase from 2024 and the highest since tracking began in 1979. While overall antisemitic incidents declined 33% to 6,274, physical assaults and weapon-involved attacks surged, with three fatalities recorded for the first time since 2019. Attacks included shootings at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington DC, a firebombing at an Israeli hostages rally in Colorado, and assaults in New York and Pennsylvania.
