US EditionAntisemitic attacks in 2025 caused highest number of deaths in 30 years, study finds
The study cites 20 deaths and rising attacks, with incidents continuing even after the Gaza ceasefire, researchers said.
- On Monday, Tel Aviv University released an annual report finding 2025 was the deadliest year for antisemitic attacks since 1994, when a bombing in Argentina killed 85 people and wounded more than 300.
- Violence surged following the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, attack and Israel's subsequent war in Gaza, creating a spike that persisted through 2025 despite an October ceasefire.

- "The data raise concern that a high level of antisemitic incidents is becoming a normalized reality," said Uriya Shavit, chief editor of the report, as it arrived ahead of Holocaust Remembrance Day, which memorializes 6 million Jews.
