Perception of Antisemitism and Islamophobia Rises in the U.S., Pew Survey Finds

A comprehensive Pew Research Center survey reveals a significant increase in perceived discrimination against Jews and Muslims in the U.S. since the Israel-Hamas war began.

The percentage of Americans who believe there is a lot of discrimination against Jews in society has doubled from 20% in 2021 to 40% today.
Nearly all American Jews and a large majority of American Muslims report experiencing increased discrimination since the war's onset.
A small but notable fraction of Americans support allowing calls for violence against Jews or Muslims, though the vast majority oppose such speech.
The survey indicates a broad comfort with speech supporting or opposing Israeli and Palestinian statehood, but a clear rejection of calls for violence.
Political affiliations influence perceptions of discrimination, with Democrats more likely than Republicans to report an increase in discrimination against Muslims.
