Antisemitic incidents on the rise across the US, according to a new report

ANTI-SEMITISM rose in the United States in 2022 and shows little sign of abating worldwide as political radicals have gained mainstream popularity, researchers said in a report released on Monday.

The report by Tel Aviv University’s Centre for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry and the US-based Anti-Defamation League (ADL) as Israel began observing its annual day of remembrance for the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust.

Last year’s report found that 2021 set a new high for anti-semitic incidents, with the coronavirus pandemic fuelling a worldwide rise in anti-semitism. 

This year, the researchers said that “2022 did not mark a universal reversal of the trend, and in some countries, most alarmingly the US, it intensified.”

The ADL found that the number of anti-semitic incidents in the US increased by more than 35 per cent in the past year, from 2,721 in 2021 to 3,697 in 2022.

The report also criticised Israel’s new government’s inclusion of the ultra-nationalist religious Jewish Power party, founded by the successor of the late racist anti-Arab rabbi, Meir Kahane. 

Researchers said that the party has “polluted Israeli public discourse with chilling racist expressions that would have led to the immediate termination of their political careers in other democracies.”
