FBI data for 2025 indicates that Jews were targeted in 1,528 hate crimes in the US, constituting 63% of all religion-based hate crimes. This figure is seven times higher than the next most-targeted religious group, Muslims, who experienced 205 incidents. Despite a 21% decrease in antisemitic hate crimes compared to 2024, the number remains the third-highest on record, with an antisemitic hate crime occurring every six hours.
