US EditionAntisemitic incidents hit another record high in 2025, B’nai Brith reports
The annual tally rose from 6,219 in 2024, with violence, harassment and vandalism driving the highest count since 1982.
- On Monday, Nai Brith Canada released its annual report on Parliament Hill, documenting 6,800 antisemitic incidents in 2025, up from 6,219 in 2024 and the highest total since tracking began in 1982.
- Fuelled by Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, Nai Brith argues antisemitism is being normalized in Canada. Richard Robertson emphasized that challenging a nation's policies is acceptable, but targeting minorities through hate is not.
- Incidents include physical violence, vandalism, and unchecked online hate. "We cannot allow antisemitism to be rendered into mere statistics that we grow numb to," Robertson said, emphasizing the generational trauma victims endure.
- Nai Brith CEO Simon Wolle criticized the government for replacing the antisemitism envoy with an advisory council, saying, "We have a void, a vacuum, a gap. The problems continue to escalate and there's actually no mechanism."
- The Senate Human Rights Committee called for a federal task force to address rising hate crimes, while Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act, has passed the House of Commons and awaits Senate review.
