The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) reported the highest number of antisemitic assaults in 2025, with over 300 victims and three fatalities—the first deaths since 2019. The ADL recorded 6,274 incidents, including 203 assaults, 32 involving deadly weapons—a 39% increase from 2024. While overall incidents dropped 33% from 2024, they remain higher than pre-Oct. 7, 2023 levels. College campuses saw a 66% decline in incidents, attributed to the decline of anti-Israel encampments. However, 856 incidents still occurred at anti-Israel protests, and 45% of incidents were linked to bias against Israel or anti-Zionism. The ADL noted a rise in deadly weapon attacks, including a failed arson attempt at a Michigan synagogue. New York, California, and New Jersey reported the highest numbers of incidents. The ADL has pushed for stronger campus responses and released report cards evaluating university actions.
