Antisemitic incidents in the US surged by around 400% in less than two weeks following the outbreak of the Middle East crisis on October 7 as a result of an attack on Israel by the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). Preliminary data from the ADL Center on Extremism indicates that 312 incidents of violence, vandalism, and harassment directed towards Jews were documented in the US between October 7 and October 23. Of them, about 190 had a direct bearing on the ongoing war between Hamas and Israel.
The ongoing conflict has led the U.S. Justice Department to announce that it is closely monitoring the increasing threats aimed at Muslims and Jews. Antisemitism and Islamophobia have been strongly opposed by President Joe Biden.
Approximately 5,700 Palestinians had lost their lives as a result of Israeli bombings on Gaza as of Tuesday, according to Gazan officials. Approximately 1,200 individuals died in a Hamas onslaught on October 7.
