Overview
- An ADL–JFNA survey reports that 55% of Jewish Americans experienced at least one antisemitic incident in the past year, and 57% now view antisemitism as a normal part of Jewish life.
- Nearly one in five respondents say they were physically assaulted, threatened, or verbally harassed because of their Jewish identity in the past year.
- Security responses are widespread, with 48% increasing personal safety measures, 33% preparing worst-case plans, and 14% creating plans to leave the country.
- The ADL documents 12 antisemitism-motivated terror plots in the United States since Oct. 7, 2023, doubling the total recorded between 2021 and 2022.
- The release comes as reporting notes the FBI recently severed ties with the ADL and the SPLC, underscoring mounting tensions over how extremism is tracked and countered.
