Homeland Security Newswire: “Jews only make up around 2 percent of the U.S. population, but reported single-bias anti-Jewish hate crimes comprised 16 percent of all reported hate crimes and nearly 70 percent of all reported religion-based hate crimes in 2024. Hate crimes data released today by the Federal Bureau of Investigation reveals that while reported hate crime incidents across the country decreased from 11,862 in 2023 to 11,679 in 2024, reported single-bias anti-Jewish hate crime incidents rose to 1,938 incidents, an increase of 5.8 percent from 2023, and the highest number ever recorded by the FBI since it began collecting data in 1991. These included 178 anti-Jewish assaults, up from 174 in 2023. Although Jews only make up around 2 percent of the U.S. population, reported single-bias anti-Jewish hate crimes comprised 16 percent of all reported hate crimes and nearly 70 percent of all reported religion-based hate crimes in 2024, which is a slight increase from prior years. …“As the Jewish community is still reeling from two deadly antisemitic attacks in the past few months, the record-high number of anti-Jewish hate crime incidents tracked by the FBI in 2024 is consistent with ADL’s reporting and, more importantly, with the Jewish community’s current lived experience,” said Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL CEO. “Since the Hamas-led Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, Jewish Americans have not had a moment of respite and have experienced antisemitism at K-12 school, on college campuses, in the public square, at work and Jewish institutions. Our government and leaders must take these numbers seriously and enact adequate measures to protect all Americans from the scourge of hate crimes.”…

ADL, which keeps its own count of both criminal and non-criminal acts of hate against Jews, documented a total of 9,354 antisemitic incidents in 2024, a 5-percent increase from the prior year, and the highest number on record since ADL began tracking such data in 1979. Assaults – considered the most serious incident type because they involve person-on-person physical violence – increased by 21 percent in 2024…” And it continues…In St. Louis on August 2, 2025 a Jewish family had their vehicles set on fire and home vandalized after their son returned from serving in the IDF.
