A new report by the J7 task force, which unites the world's major Jewish communities against antisemitism, finds that 2025 was the deadliest year for antisemitic attacks in the diaspora in more than three decades. The report's full findings have not yet been detailed.
A new report from the J7 task force, an umbrella organization of major Jewish communities worldwide, states that 2025 recorded the highest number of lethal antisemitic attacks in the diaspora in over 30 years. The initial announcement does not specify the number of incidents or casualties, nor the geographic distribution of the attacks.
The finding comes amid a broader documented surge in antisemitism across Western countries. The Zioneer has previously reported on surveys indicating that 57% of American Jews experienced antisemitism in the past year, official data showing Germany recorded a record 8,725 antisemitic incidents in 2025, and FBI hate crime statistics showing Jews are targeted at six times their population share. Israeli diplomats have warned of the need to prepare for record aliyah waves in 2027 as a result of the rising hostility.
The J7 report's release is expected to prompt renewed calls for enhanced security measures for Jewish communities worldwide. Further details on the report's methodology and specific findings are awaited.
