In 2024, reported antisemitic incidents in New York surged to an unprecedented 1,437 cases, marking an 18% increase from the previous year. This alarming trend is documented in the Anti-Defamation League's Audit of Antisemitic Incidents. The data reveals not only the highest overall figures but also a record number of antisemitic vandalism and assaults. The rise is particularly pronounced in academic settings, reflecting the role of recent geopolitical events in fueling antisemitism. This situation underscores the urgent need for community responses to combat rising anti-Jewish sentiment.
New York State saw a disturbing increase from 2023's record high of 1,218 reported antisemitic cases and 2022's record high of 580, marking a 148% increase from just two years ago.
The report indicates that the shocking spike in antisemitic incidents after October 7, 2023, has become an unfortunate reality across the country and in New York.
