This Annual Report provides a comprehensive global overview of anti-Semitism in 2025, documenting real-world incidents and online discourse trends to assess the scale, geography, and evolving nature of anti-Semitic activity. Drawing on confirmed cases from mainstream and Jewish media, the report highlights sustained high levels of anti-Semitism concentrated in a small number of countries, a sharp rise in incidents following major conflict-related events, and the growing role of online misinformation and extremist narratives in fueling hostility toward Jews and Israel.

This Annual Report presents a global overview of anti-Semitism in 2025, drawing exclusively on real-world incidents that were documented and confirmed in mainstream and Jewish media, alongside analysis of anti-Semitic discourse trends online.
Findings indicate sustained high levels of anti-Semitic activity across multiple regions, with clear concentration in a small number of countries. The USA, the UK, Australia, France, Canada, and several European states accounted for the highest volumes of reported incidents, underscoring the persistence of anti-Semitism as a transnational security and social challenge.
Temporal and geographic analysis shows that anti-Semitic incidents increased sharply following major conflict-related events, with repeated spikes observed across multiple countries. Incident data from 2025 confirms a wide range of anti-Semitic activity, including harassment, vandalism, and severe violence, including lethal attacks targeting Jewish institutions and individuals.
A dedicated case study on Australia’s Bondi Beach attack illustrates the evolving threat landscape, including small-cell terrorism, legal access to weapons, and rapid post-attack escalation in related anti-Semitic incidents and online amplification.
The report also documents the parallel intensification of anti-Semitism in the information environment. Initial findings on the scale and sentiment of anti-Semitism across social media are included in this report, with more comprehensive platform-level analysis and network mapping to follow in the final report. An analysis of ten prominent fake news cases demonstrates how misinformation, miscaptioned imagery, and distorted claims, particularly around Gaza, shaped international narratives and fueled hostility toward Jews and Israel. In parallel, the report tracks the institutionalization of anti-Israel pressure through major policy decisions and a high volume of UN resolutions, as well as the role of prominent influencers and networks in driving anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic narratives.
Overall, 2025 reflects a convergence of three reinforcing dynamics: an escalation in violent anti-Semitic incidents, the continued concentration of reported incidents in specific geographic areas, and the expansion of online hate and misinformation ecosystems.
