FBI Data: Jews Targeted in Hate Crimes at Six Times Their Population Share

Primary source Internal intake · 1 reviewed intake signal · Desk window 00:45

TL;DR

New FBI hate-crime data shows anti-Jewish incidents account for roughly 15% of all reported hate crimes in the United States, despite Jews being a small fraction of the population. The figure highlights the disproportionate targeting of American Jews.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The FBI's latest hate crime statistics show that Jews remain the most targeted religious group in the United States relative to population size. According to the data, anti-Jewish incidents made up roughly 15% of all reported hate crimes, over six times the expected rate based on population share.

The report comes amid a broader rise in antisemitism that The Zioneer has documented. In recent weeks, the FBI arrested eight suspects accused of running a coordinated campaign of threats and vandalism against Jewish targets. A survey published earlier this month found that 57% of Jewish adults in the U.S. experienced antisemitism in the past year. Germany also recorded a record 8,725 antisemitic incidents in 2025.

The data underscore the persistent threat facing American Jews in the world's second-largest Jewish community. The full FBI report is available via Jewish Breaking News.
