Since the October 7 tragedy and amid the ongoing confrontation between Hamas and Israel, there has been a marked upsurge in anti-Semitic occurrences and acts of hate towards Jews in the US and around the world. According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), in the first two weeks following the start of the Middle East crisis—which was sparked by a Hamas attack on Israel—anti-Semitic incidents in the US increased by about 400%.
There have been reports of anti-Semitic incidents on the internet, protesters screaming Hamas slogans, and synagogues being vandalized with swastikas. Since Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel on October 7, which sparked the start of the Gaza War, there has been a discernible upsurge in antisemitic events throughout the United States.
Between October 6 and October 30, 36 anti-Jewish hate crimes were recorded in the Los Angeles police department, a 140% increase over the same time the previous year.
