A new report says anti-Semitic incidents in the U.S. reached a record high last year, including a deadly attack on a California synagogue.
Cases of white supremacist propaganda distribution is spiking, the Anti-Defamation League says in a new report
The ADL counted 919 anti-Semitic vandalism incidents in 2019, a 19% increase from 774 incidents in 2018. Two men described by authorities as members of a white supremacist group called The Base were charged with conspiring last year to vandalize synagogues, including Beth Israel Sinai Congregation in Racine, Wis. Even before his synagogue was defaced with swastikas, Rabbi Martyn Adelberg sensed that anti-Semitic incidents in the U.S. had been increasing as extremist rhetoric migrates from the internet’s fringes to mainstream platforms.
The ADL said it helped authorities identify a suspect accused of plastering white supremacist and anti-Semitic stickers on a display case at Chabad Jewish Center in Ocean City, Md. Rabbi Noam Cohen, the center’s director, said anti-Semitism has ebbed and flowed for centuries. He views the vandalism of his center as an isolated incident, not a sign of growing anti-Semitism.The ADL tallied 1,127 harassment incidents last year, a 6% increase over 2018.
“Although it is not anti-Semitic to protest Israeli policies, these protests must be considered within the context of this group’s well-documented anti-Semitic agenda,” the report said.
