Six Facts about Antisemitism in the US Today 

1. Roughly seven in 10 (69%) Jewish adults report experiencing antisemitism online or on social media – including those who say they have been personally targeted and those who say they have seen or heard antisemitic incidents. This increases to 8 in 10 (83%) among young Jewish adults.

2. While far-right and White supremacist hate remains a very serious threat in the United States, more American Jews say the extreme political left is a very serious antisemitic threat compared to 2021. “The vitriol coming from the progressive left, which I once identified as my community, has been truly shocking,” said one respondent, a Jewish woman from the South. “At this point, there isn’t really a space in which it feels safe to say the words ‘I’m Jewish.’”

3. Roughly half (48%) of US Jewish college students say that they have felt uncomfortable or unsafe at a campus event because they are Jewish; avoided wearing, carrying, or displaying things that could identify them as Jewish; or avoided expressing views on Israel on campus or with classmates because of fears of antisemitism.

4. Half (50%) of American Jewish college students say they noticed anti-Israel protests or demonstrations, and about 4 in 10 (42%) noticed pro-Palestinian encampments. For those who had noticed demonstrations, roughly half (51%) said those demonstrations made them feel very (25%) or somewhat (26%) unsafe.

5. 81% of American Jews said that caring about Israel is very (51%) or somewhat (30%) important to what being Jewish means to them.

6. 85% of American Jews and the US general public believe that the statement “Israel has no right to exist” is antisemitic.
