Study Finds 2025 Deadliest Year For Antisemitic Attacks Since 1994
A J7 Large Communities' Task Force Against Antisemitism study says 2025 was the deadliest year for antisemitic attacks outside Israel since 1994.[1]
The report says 20 people were killed in antisemitic attacks in 2025 across Australia, the U.K., and the U.S.[1] It documents more than 23,000 antisemitic incidents across seven major Jewish diaspora countries, an increase of 136% since 2022 and a 97% rise in violent incidents.[1]
The task force says 2025 is the deadliest year outside Israel since the 1994 AMIA bombing in Buenos Aires, though some countries including the U.S. saw slight declines from 2024.[1] On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas's attack on Israel preceded a surge in antisemitic incidents worldwide, and the report says incident levels remain far higher than before that attack.[1]
