A new report has revealed that a staggering 70% of religiously motivated hate crimes in the United States are directed against Jews, despite the fact that Jews make up only about 2.4% of the American population.
The data highlights a deeply troubling rise in antisemitism, which has intensified in the wake of global events, including the war in Gaza and widespread anti-Israel protests.
Jewish leaders and civil rights groups warn that antisemitic attacks are becoming increasingly normalized in public discourse, academia, and online spaces. The disproportionate number of hate crimes targeting Jews underscores what many are calling a national emergency that demands urgent attention from U.S. authorities, law enforcement, and political leaders.
