A shocking new report says 2025 will be the deadliest year in antisemitic attacks worldwide since 1994.
The J7 Large Communities’ Task Force Against Antisemitism released its second annual report, which tracks anti-Semitism in seven countries outside of Israel where more than 90% of Jews live. According to the report, 20 people were killed in 2025 in antisemitic attacks.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is one of two organizations representing the Jewish diaspora in the US in the J7, which includes similar organizations from Australia, Canada, Argentina, the US, the UK, Germany and France.

ADL’s Senior Director of Global Research and Professional Affairs, Aykan Erdemir, told Fox News Digital that the report’s findings show there is “no time to waste” in fighting hate.
“This is no longer a warning sign, it is happening,” said Erdemir. “If governments allow anti-Semitism to become entrenched and abusers run free, violence will not stop in Jewish communities. History shows that Jews are the canary in the coal mine: when hatred against Jews rises unchecked, it is the first warning that the safety and rights of everyone are at risk.”
The J7 report finds that there were more than 23,000 antisemitic incidents in the J7 countries during 2025 – this represents a 97% increase in violent incidents and a 136% increase in anti-Semitic incidents from 2022.
The terrorist attacks by Hamas on October 7, 2023, sent antisemitic hatred soaring around the world.

According to the report, each country is facing a situation where anti-Semitism is “no longer limited to the fringes.” Countries see the anti-Zionism associated with the Gaza conflict becoming an “antisemitic rallying cry” and educational institutions becoming “hotbeds” of hatred. Combined with the rise of online extremism, Jewish people “around the world report hiding their Jewishness in public” and question “whether they have a future in their countries.”
Individually, this report shows how countries are dealing with their unique challenges in ending hate.

Australia, which has seen a 270% increase in antisemitic incidents since 2021, was home to the Bondi Beach terrorist attack in December 2025, in which 15 people were killed. The report says both Islamist and left-wing threats to the country “must be prioritized, and dealt with effectively.”
In Germany, a 215% increase in antisemitic incidents is combined with the highest incidence rate, with 69.8 incidents per 1,000 Jewish residents in 2025 for a total of 8,725 incidents.

The report said the normalization of hatred “remains a pressing challenge” in Germany, with increasing incidents caused by “the convergence of ethno-nationalism, left-wing anti-Zionism, and Islamist extremism at the same time.”
In Canada, which has experienced a 60% increase in antisemitic incidents since 2021, there are concerns that “foreign state interference” is at play, in addition to “the exploitation of domestic institutions by strong networks.”

The US has had a 131% increase in antisemitic incidents since 2021. Although antisemitic incidents have decreased significantly since 2024, the 6,274 antisemitic incidents tracked in 2025 include 300 reports of physical attacks.
France has seen an increase in antisemitic incidents of 124% since 2021. The report notes that there is a “growing climate of discrimination” where French Jews report being refused service, denied contracts and excluded from events.
In the UK, which has seen a 64% increase in antisemitic incidents since 2021, 48% of the 3,700 antisemitic incidents were motivated by anti-Zionism, and 53% included references to the conflict involving Gaza.

Although Argentina’s government supports Israel, the country has “produced antisemitic conspiracies from the left and nationalist circles,” the report said. As of 2021, Argentina has seen a 46% increase in antisemitic incidents.
The J7 report also added a special chapter on religious dissent in Ireland, which is not a J7 country. Although Ireland has a Jewish community of only 2,200 people, it reported 143 incidents of anti-Semitism. Despite anti-Semitism in Ireland being delayed “especially in everyday situations,” unlike the J7 countries, Ireland has no national anti-semitism program and no funding for the security of Jewish people.

The FBI team is investigating the attack on demonstrators demanding the release of Israeli captives held in Gaza, at the scene of the incident on Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado, June 1, 2025. Many people were burned and other injuries on June 1st in the US state of Colorado in what the FBI called a “targeted terrorist attack” against the demons demanding the release of Gaza. Boulder city police say a man has been arrested. They were very cautious in considering the possible motive behind the attack, which many sources say was carried out on members of the Jewish community during a peaceful meeting.

Erdemir said “the most important thing for every government should be to protect Jewish communities and institutions before an attack, not after.” He called on law enforcement to “hold the perpetrators of the crime and hold them fully accountable,” but said “the real goal should be to stop attacks before they happen and prevent Jews from being expelled from public spaces, not just to respond when the damage has been done.”
Erdemir said, “Governments cannot rely on security alone. It takes the effort of the whole society, the government, businesses, schools, civil society organizations and everyday citizens, to end the hatred against Jewish communities around the world. And because this hatred crosses borders, the answer must be right: governments, international organizations and NGOs around the world need to work together, not separately.”
