Antisemitic incidents surge across Europe and the world, ADL's J7 Task Force report shows
- On May 7, 2025, the J7 Large Communities Task Force Against Antisemitism released its inaugural report in Berlin, highlighting record antisemitic spikes in seven major Jewish diaspora communities.
- The report attributes the increase in antisemitic incidents mainly to a surge of hatred following Hamas's October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel and ongoing geopolitical tensions.
- Incidents rose sharply from 2021 to 2023, with increases of 227 percent in the U.S., 185 percent in France, and 75 to 83 percent in Germany, the U.K., and Canada, including violent attacks and targeting of Jewish institutions.
- Noah Shack, CIJA Interim President, described attacks including shootings at Jewish schools, firebombings of synagogues, and vandalism, calling the rise a "societal warning sign."
- The report warns this surge risks isolating Jewish communities worldwide and stresses the urgent need for enhanced education, law enforcement, and international cooperation to counter antisemitism.
