Last year, 20 people were murdered in antisemitic attacks in Sydney, Manchester, Washington, D.C. and Boulder, Colorado, making 2025 the deadliest year for antisemitic violence for the Jewish diaspora since the 1994 AMIA bombing in Argentina. Against that backdrop, the J7 Large Communities’ Task Force Against Antisemitism today released its second annual J7 Report on Antisemitism, documenting more than 23,000 antisemitic incidents across J7 countries in 2025, comprising over 90% of the Jewish diaspora.
The report tracks antisemitic incidents and trends across Argentina, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the U.K. and the U.S., comprising over 90% of the Jewish diaspora. Total antisemitic incidents among J7 countries are up 136% and violent incidents are up 97% compared to 2022, the year before Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel. This year’s report also includes a chapter examining rising antisemitism in Ireland, reflecting the broad reach of antisemitic trends beyond J7 countries.
“Antisemitism in our seven countries is no longer a surge; it is our new normal. Governments must stop reacting after Jews are attacked and start acting before, with real security funding, stronger laws and social media platforms that enforce their own rules,” said the J7 Large Communities’ Task Force Against Antisemitism in a joint statement.
“More than two years after 7 October, antisemitism remains at historically high levels and continues to endanger UK Jews. The Board of Deputies is urging the new government to deliver on the measures we have set out in our ‘Protect, Prosecute and Partner’ document to strengthen Jewish community security, tackle antisemitism in schools, universities and public life, and ensure social media companies are held accountable for the spread of anti-Jewish hatred. We cannot treat this as the new normal. The safety and freedom of our community depends on determined action from government and society alike,” said Board of Deputies President Phil Rosenberg.
“ADL helped found the J7 in 2023 because no country can fight antisemitism alone, and this report shows exactly why. 2025 was one of the most violent years for American Jews on record: we were targeted an average of 17 times a day. This isn’t just an American crisis; every single J7 country remains dramatically above pre-October 7 levels. Antisemitism transcends borders, and our response must do so too,” said Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL CEO and National Director.
Key findings from the report include:

The J7 Task Force calls on governments and law enforcement to take preemptive action to protect Jewish communities, rather than reacting after attacks occur, and to close legal loopholes that allow antisemitic incitement, including when cloaked in anti-Zionist language, to go unpunished. The Task Force also urges technology companies to strengthen moderation of hate content and increase transparency and cooperation with civil society to counter emerging threats.
