The J7 task force, representing the world's major Jewish communities, called on governments to take action before further attacks, warning that antisemitism has become the 'new normal' following the deadliest year for diaspora Jews in decades.
The J7 task force, which unites the major Jewish communities worldwide in the fight against antisemitism, issued a call for urgent government action on Wednesday, warning that antisemitism has become the 'new normal' after what it described as the deadliest year for diaspora Jews in decades. The statement follows the release of the J7's annual report earlier today, which found that 2025 was the deadliest year for antisemitic attacks in the diaspora in over 30 years. The task force urged governments in the US, UK, Europe, Canada, Australia, and Argentina to act before further attacks occur, citing rising violence and online abuse. The plea comes amid a broader surge in antisemitic incidents worldwide, including shootings and hostage situations in North America and record levels of abuse in Europe.
