From Breitbart:
The ADL’s annual audit, released Wednesday, recorded 203 antisemitic assaults in 2025 — a four percent increase from 196 in 2024 and the highest number since the organization began tracking incidents in 1979.
Assaults involving a deadly weapon surged 39 percent, rising from 23 in 2024 to 32 in 2025, while at least 300 people were victimized in violent attacks, according to the report.
Three people were murdered in antisemitic attacks in 2025 — the first year since 2019 in which Jewish people were killed in antisemitic attacks in the United States.
The report highlights just how dangerous antisemitism has become in America. Among the most disturbing incidents cited were the murders of two Jewish victims outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., and the death of another victim injured during the Boulder, Colorado, firebombing attack targeting a pro-Israel event supporting Israeli hostages. Other attacks included the firebombing of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s residence and the stabbing of an Orthodox Jewish man in Brooklyn.
Although overall antisemitic incidents dropped from the record highs seen in 2024, the ADL warned that the decline should not create a false sense of security. Violent assaults increased even as harassment and vandalism decreased, revealing a dangerous escalation in the severity of anti-Jewish hatred. The report noted that Orthodox Jews were disproportionately targeted, while New York remained the epicenter for many of the nation’s antisemitic attacks.
The audit also pointed to the role anti-Israel activism has played in fueling antisemitism in recent years. While campus-related incidents declined significantly in 2025 after widespread anti-Israel protests the previous year, nearly half of all antisemitic incidents still involved Israel or Zionism. The Trump administration has continued pressuring universities and school systems accused of failing to protect Jewish students, with federal investigations and funding actions aimed at combating antisemitic discrimination on campuses.
As intercessors, we know Scripture commands us to stand against hatred and to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the Jewish people. Rising antisemitism is not merely a political or social issue — it is a spiritual battle that demands prayer, courage, and unwavering support for God’s chosen people. As violence continues, let’s pray for the protection of God’s chosen people!
