A new J7 Task Force report recorded more than 23,000 antisemitic incidents during 2025 across Argentina, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States, 14% fewer than in 2024 but 136% above 2022. Twenty Jews were murdered in four antisemitic attacks in Australia, Britain and the United States, making 2025 the deadliest year for Diaspora Jewry since 1994. The seven communities represent more than 90% of Jews living outside Israel. J7 said violent incidents remained 97% above the pre-October 7 baseline and urged stronger security, enforcement and prosecution against extremist networks.
