After deadliest year in decades for Diaspora Jews, task force warns hate is ‘our new normal’
Group representing major Jewish communities in seven countries reports 23,000 antisemitic attacks in 2025, a drop from the year before, though 20 people were murdered in attacks targeting Jews
The J7 Task Force reported 2025 was the deadliest year for Diaspora Jews in over 30 years, with 20 murders despite a 14% decrease in overall antisemitic attacks compared to 2024. The organization, representing seven major Jewish communities, stated that antisemitism is now "our new normal," with incidents up 136% since 2022. Notable incidents included 15 murders at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney. While some countries saw a decrease in total incidents, violent attacks rose in the US. Germany recorded the highest per-capita rate of incidents. J7 called for governments to proactively fund security, strengthen laws, and for social media platforms to enforce rules against hate speech. Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt emphasized, "Antisemitism transcends borders, and our response must do so too."
