ADL Report - Audit of U.S. Antisemitic Incidents 2024

In 2024, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) recorded 9,354 anti-Semitic incidents in the U.S.—a 5% increase from 2023 and the highest total since tracking began in 1979. This reflects a 344% increase over the past five years and an 893% increase over the past decade. Assaults rose 21% and vandalism 20%, while harassment remained steady. For the first time, a majority (58%) of incidents were tied to Israel or Zionism, often linked to anti-Israel protests—2,596 of over 5,000 such rallies included anti-Semitic messaging. College campuses saw a sharp 84% rise in incidents, comprising 18% of the national total. Though incidents at Jewish institutions fell 14%, they remained high post-October 7, 2023, with synagogues facing bomb threats and harassment. Anti-Semitic activity was reported in every state, with New York and California seeing the most incidents.

• Each year, ADL (Anti-Defamation League) tracks incidents of antisemitic harassment, vandalism and assault in the United States. Since 1979, we have published this information in an annual Audit of Antisemitic Incidents.
• In 2024, ADL tabulated 9,354 antisemitic incidents across the United States. This represents a 5% increase from the 8,873 incidents recorded in 2023, a 344% increase over the past five years and a 893% increase over the past 10 years. It is the highest number on record since ADL began tracking antisemitic incidents 46 years ago.
• Incidents of vandalism and assault increased significantly in 2024. Assaults increased by 21% to 196 incidents, impacting 250 victims, and vandalism increased by 20% to 2,606 incidents. Harassment incidents remained relatively steady, with an increase of 0.26%, for a total of 6,552 incidents.
• For the first time in the history of the Audit, a majority (58%) of all incidents contained elements related to Israel or Zionism. A large portion of Israel-related antisemitic incidents occurred at or in the vicinity of anti-Israel protests. Out of over 5,000 anti-Israel rallies tracked by ADL in 2024, 2,596 involved antisemitic messaging in the form of signs, chants or speeches.
• Incidents on college and university campuses rose more steeply than those in any other location. In 2024, ADL recorded 1,694 antisemitic incidents on college campuses, which is 84% higher than in 2023. Campus incidents comprised 18% of all incidents, a larger proportion than in any previous Audit.
• While incidents decreased by 14% at Jewish institutions, they remained elevated compared to pre-October 7, 2023, levels. Jewish organizations, particularly synagogues, were targeted with hundreds of bomb threats and hundreds more general antisemitic threats. Congregants were harassed and even assaulted while at or in the vicinity of Jewish institutions, and some anti-Israel groups escalated their tactics, protesting Jewish religious and cultural institutions on dozens of occasions.
• Incidents occurred in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. As in previous years, states and metropolitan areas with the largest Jewish populations continued to report the highest levels of incidents. The states with the highest levels of incidents were New York (1,437) and California (1,344).
