Hate crimes against Jews accounted for 16% of all reported hate crimes in the United States in 2024, and nearly 70% of religion-based hate crimes, FBI data shows.
While the total number of hate crimes in the US throughout the year was virtually the same as in 2023, with 11,679 recorded instances, anti-Jewish hate crimes rose 5.8% to a record 1,938 incidents, the report shows.
The total includes 178 instances of assault.
The rise “is consistent with ADL’s reporting and, more importantly, with the Jewish community’s current lived experience,” said Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt in a statement about the report. “Our government and leaders must take these numbers seriously and enact adequate measures to protect all Americans from the scourge of hate crimes.”
Antisemitic attacks have skyrocketed in the US and around the world since Hamas launched its war against Israel on October 7, 2023.
Earlier this year, the ADL counted a record 9,354 antisemitic incidents in 2024, including a 21% increase in assaults.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
