FBI: Anti-Jewish Hate Crimes in US Hit Record High in 2024

Overview

  • FBI data show 1,938 anti-Jewish hate crimes in 2024, the highest total since 1991 despite a 1.5 percent drop in overall hate crimes to 11,679 cases.
  • Anti-Jewish offenses represented approximately 69 percent of religion-based hate crimes in 2024, far outpacing attacks on other faith communities.
  • The NYPD recorded 14 antisemitic incidents in July 2025, down from 27 in July 2024 and marking the lowest monthly total since July 2023.
  • Jewish New Yorkers accounted for about 54 percent of all hate crimes in New York City in 2025 so far, with 345 antisemitic incidents logged through July.
  • Officials caution that preliminary figures may be revised after ongoing investigations and that underreporting likely understates the true scale of anti-Jewish violence.
