The Anti-Defamation League’s director and CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, said on Sunday that since Hamas’ surprise attack on October 7 in Israel, which claimed over 1,400 lives, antisemitism in the US has increased by 388 percent.
“There has been a growing and escalating trend of antisemitism,” he said. “We have witnessed its normalization, emanating both from the far right and the hard left.”
Speaking to a Senate session last week, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas reported an increase in threats directed towards Muslims and Jews in the wake of the October 7 attack.
