Two years after Hamas’ invasion of Israel and subsequent massacres of Israelis on October 7th, 2023, antisemitism is still on the rise, according to a new report.

On Sunday, the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) published data on antisemitic incidents since October 2023, demonstrating that even after the sharp rise in antisemitism immediately after the Hamas invasion, rates of anti-Jewish attacks, harassment, and vandalism have not declined and are in fact continuing to rise.

The report noted increases in both the quantity and intensity of antisemitic incidents, pointing to deadly attacks in Boulder, Colorado, Washington DC, and Manchester, England.

According to data collected by CAM’s Antisemitism Research Center, between October 7, 2023, and October 1, 2025, there were 13,339 recorded antisemitic incidents worldwide.

The final three months of 2023 alone saw nearly as many cases as all of 2022, while 2024 shattered every previous record, with more than 6,300 incidents — double the year before.

In the United States, antisemitic acts on university campuses nearly tripled, rising from 249 in 2022 to 742 in 2024.

The trend has continued into 2025, with more than 5,100 incidents already documented by October 1 and projections suggesting over 6,820 incidents by year’s end.

“Jewish communities across all regions now face intensifying threats to their safety and freedom, from violent attacks and vandalism to intimidation, harassment, and the denial of their right to live and worship without fear,” CAM warned.

“Two years after October 7, the wounds have not healed — and the hatred has not faded,” said CAM CEO Sacha Roytman Dratwa.

“The Hamas massacre was not only an attack on Israel; it was a turning point for Jews everywhere. What followed was the largest surge in antisemitism in modern history — and that surge has not slowed. It has deepened, spread, and been excused.”

“This is no longer a Jewish problem. It is a moral test for humanity. When Jews are targeted with impunity, every democratic value is endangered. Silence is complicity — and silence is exactly what hatred feeds on.”

“Every person must decide: turn away, or take a stand. Because the fight against antisemitism is the fight for truth, freedom, and human dignity itself. On this anniversary, we call on all people of conscience to confront lies, reject Jew-hatred, and ensure that ‘Never Again’ is not just a slogan — but a promise kept.”
