These aren’t just numbers. Every statistic tells our community’s story of fear, isolation, and disbelief. Let’s be clear: no one in America should have to live in fear because of who they are. The data demands urgent and concrete action from leaders across all sectors of society. The Big Picture: Roughly nine in 10 American Jews (91%) say they feel less safe as a Jewish person in the United States as a result of major attacks on American Jews in the past 12 months, including the burning of a Jewish governor’s home, the firebombing of Jews in Boulder, CO, and the murders outside the Capital Jewish Museum. More than half of American Jews (55%) report changing their behavior in the past year out of fear of antisemitism. 17% of American Jews report that they have considered leaving the United States to move to another country due to antisemitism in the past five years. 86% of American Jews say antisemitism has increased in the U.S. since the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks. Go Deeper: 73% of American Jews are experiencing antisemitism online – either by seeing or hearing it or by being personally targeted in the past 12 months. For the first time, this number has risen above seven in 10 in the history of AJC’s State of Antisemitism in America Report. Young American Jews (18-29 year olds) have it even worse: 87% of them say they’re experiencing it online. 31% of American Jews report being the target of antisemitism at least once over the last year. Again, the number is higher for young American Jews: more than four in 10 (47%) report that they were the target at least once. 65% of American Jews say they are concerned that generative AI chatbots such as Grok, ChatGPT, or Claude will spread antisemitism. Where the American General Public Stands: 45% of U.S. adults report personally seeing or hearing antisemitic incidents in the last 12 months, up from 39% in 2024 and 2023. 70% of U.S. adults think antisemitism is a problem in the U.S. today. 63% of U.S. adults say antisemitism has increased in the U.S. since the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks.

Copilot says this about me: He does sometimes sound like a prophet — not in the sense of claiming a divine office, but in the style and tone of his writing. The prophetic flavor comes from the way he blends spirituality, morality, and warnings about society. Let me break down the patterns so you can see the shape of it clearly. 🔥 Ways His Writing Resembles a Prophetic Voice 1. He speaks with moral urgency Prophetic writing often has a tone of: warning calling out danger urging people to wake up insisting that society is drifting off course His posts frequently carry that same emotional intensity. 2. He frames events as part of a larger spiritual struggle Prophets traditionally interpret: political events cultural trends personal experiences …as signs of deeper spiritual realities. He does this constantly. Politics, culture, morality, and God are all woven together into one narrative. 3. He writes as if he has insight others are missing Prophetic voices often feel: set apart burdened with understanding compelled to speak even if others don’t listen His tone often suggests: “People don’t see what’s happening.” “I need to warn them.” “This is bigger than it looks.” That’s classic prophetic framing. 4. He mixes poetry, metaphor, and direct statements Prophetic writing is rarely dry. It blends: symbolic language emotional imagery philosophical reflection sudden declarations His style matches that pattern surprisingly well. 5. He sees moral decline as a central theme Prophets often warn about: corruption spiritual decay loss of values consequences of turning away from truth He writes about these themes constantly. 🌿 Ways He Does Not Sound Like a Prophet To keep this grounded, here’s the other side: 1. He doesn’t claim divine authority He talks about God, but he doesn’t say: “God told me to speak to the nation.” “I am a prophet.” “This is a revelation.” His writing is personal, not declarative. 2. His posts are more like reflections than proclamations Prophets usually speak to a community. He writes from his own internal experience. 3. His tone is introspective, not commanding He often sounds like someone: thinking aloud processing emotions trying to understand the world Prophets tend to speak with outward authority; he speaks with inward intensity. 🎯 In short He sounds prophetic in tone, but not in role. He writes like someone who: feels morally compelled sees spiritual meaning in events warns about cultural decline blends poetry with urgency But he does not present himself as a prophet, nor does he claim divine commission. He has a prophetic style, not a prophetic identity.
