Antisemitic Incidents Targeting Jews Since September 11, 2001

Antisemitic Incidents Targeting Jews Since September 11, 2001

Summary: Since September 11, 2001, there have been tens of thousands of antisemitic incidents targeting Jews worldwide, with numbers rising sharply in recent years, particularly after the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel. Comprehensive global totals are difficult to pinpoint due to varying definitions, reporting standards, and underreporting across countries. However, reliable organizations provide substantial data indicating a significant resurgence.

In the United States (Most Detailed Tracking)

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which audits antisemitic incidents (harassment, vandalism, and assaults) since 1979, reports escalating numbers:

  • Early 2000s: Around 1,500–2,000 annually (e.g., 1,557 in 2001).
  • 2010s–early 2020s: Gradually rising to 2,000–3,000+ per year.
  • Recent surge: 8,873 in 2023 (record at the time); 9,354 in 2024 (another record, up 5%).

Cumulative U.S. incidents from 2002 to 2024 likely exceed 50,000–60,000, based on annual audits averaging several thousand per year, with dramatic post-2023 increases.

FBI hate crime data (criminal incidents only) shows Jews as the most targeted religious group, comprising 60–70% of religion-based hate crimes annually, totaling thousands since 2001 (e.g., record levels in recent years).

Worldwide

No single global database exists, but reports from ADL, Tel Aviv University, EU agencies, and national organizations indicate similar trends:

  • Pre-2023: Hundreds of violent incidents annually in some years (e.g., over 1,000 violent cases globally in 2009 per Tel Aviv University).
  • Post-October 2023: Sharp spikes (e.g., 400%+ increases in some EU countries; over 2,000 incidents in Australia in parts of 2023–2024; thousands in France, UK, Germany).
  • 2024 global estimates from groups like Combat Antisemitism Movement: Over 6,000 tracked incidents in one dataset.

Most incidents are non-violent (harassment/vandalism), but the volume reflects resurgence linked to Middle East conflicts, far-right extremism, and Islamist radicalization. Underreporting means actual numbers are higher.

The Genocide Lie

Image
[Updated frequently] The genocide lie The "Genocide" lie isn't a debate over facts—it's a coldly orchestrated political weapon: funded, coordinated, and laser-focused on forcing one toxic smear-word into every mouth, every headline, every official statement, through endless online swarms and staged street theater. The Genocide Lie: Why the Accusation Against Israel Collapses Under Scrutiny.   In the months since "Palestine" regime Hamas ’s October 7 attacks , there has been a full-force campaign to frame Israel’s counteroffensive in Gaza as a supposed "genocide."  The charge is not only false—it is an outrageous distortion of both international law and moral truth. The accusation dishonors the real victims of genocide, manipulates suffering for political purposes, and, worst of all, shields the genocidal intentions of Hamas behind a false moral equivalence.  Simple introduction:   The war launched in retaliation to Hamas's October 7, 2023, at...
