This week, the American Jewish Committee released its report on The State of Antisemitism in America 2024. The report is comprised of a survey of American Jews, a survey of the U.S. general public, and a comparison of the two surveys. Among the report's key findings are:
77% of American Jews say they feel less safe as a Jewish person in the U.S. because of the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks.
Nearly six in 10 (56%) American Jews say they altered their behavior out of fear of antisemitism in 2024 – a sharp increase from previous years. In 2023, this number was 46%, and 38% in 2022.
90% of American Jews say antisemitism has increased in the U.S. since the Hamas terrorist attacks.
One-third (33%) of American Jews say they have been the personal target of antisemitism – in person or virtually – at least once over the last year.
