The data documented 1,938 antisemitic hate crimes last year, representing 69% of all religion-based hate crimes, despite Jews making up just 2% of the American population.
This troubling upward trend shows no signs of abating in 2025, with incidents monitored by the Antisemitism Research Center (ARC) by CAM just in the past week including:
- Australia: Tens of thousands of anti-Israel protesters marched across Sydney’s Harbour Bridge, shouting "Long live the Intifada," "Death to the IDF," and "Free Palestine."
- United States: Three vehicles were set ablaze and graffiti reading "Death to the IDF" was discovered outside the Clayton, Missouri home of a U.S. man who is an Israeli military veteran.
- Argentina: A Jewish passenger flying from Buenos Aires to Madrid on Iberia Airlines found the phrase "Free Palestine" handwritten on the packaging of his kosher meal.
- Netherlands: A nurse in Dutch town of Driebergen-Rijsenburg is under criminal investigation for allegedly posting death threats against Israeli patients on social media.
- France: The Paris office of Israel’s national flag carrier, El Al, was vandalized with red paint, including the words "Genocide Airline."
Elias Rodriguez was indicted by a federal grand jury on Wednesday for the brutal slaying of Israeli Embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim outside the Capital Jewish Museum in May.
Elias, who told police "I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza," faces charges for murder of a foreign official, hate crimes, firearms offenses, first-degree murder, and assault with intent to kill.
