"Surge in Antisemitic Incidents in U.S. Linked to Hamas Attack, ADL Reports"

The Anti-Defamation League reported a 360% increase in antisemitic incidents in the U.S. in the three months following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, with a total of 3,283 incidents recorded. This surge puts 2023 on track to be the highest year for antisemitic acts against Jewish people since the late 1970s. The incidents included physical assault, vandalism, verbal harassment, and rallies with antisemitic rhetoric. The conflict between Israel and Hamas has also led to a rise in Islamophobia, with a leading Muslim advocacy group reporting a 172% increase in reports of bias and prejudice.
