The Anti-Defamation League reports that antisemitic incidents in the US have risen 360% since October 7th and are at the highest level since the ADL started keeping records in the 1970s.
“The American Jewish community is facing a threat level that’s now unprecedented in modern history,” said Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL CEO.
There is a common recipe to American leftist antisemitism on here:
1. Post antisemitic conspiracy theories and October 7th attrocity denial
2. Attack every Jewish person who calls this out as antisemitic
3. Retweet JVP to try to show you aren’t antisemitic

He added, “It’s shocking that we’ve recorded more antisemitic acts in three months than we usually would in an entire year.”
The ADL found that there were 3,283 reported antisemitic incidents between Oct. 7 and Jan 7th, which included 60 physical assaults, 533 acts of vandalism, 1,353 cases of verbal or written harassment, and 1,317 rallies during which antisemitic rhetoric and expressions of support for terrorism against Israel or Jews are apparent.
Greenblatt said, “In this difficult moment, antisemitism is spreading and mutating in alarming ways.”
This new report by @ADL highlights a 360% increase compared to the same period in 2022, further emphasizing the disturbing spike in antisemitism over the last few months.
