THE MASKS ARE OFF AGAIN: AI Overview Recent reports confirm that attacks and harassment against Jewish communities have persisted and even intensified since mid-2025, continuing a trend of record-high antisemitism observed since late 2023. While a ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas was reached in October 2025, reports indicate that hatred and violence have not ceased, leading to arguments that the issue is driven by intrinsic hate rather than solely the conflict's justification. Key information regarding this trend: Continued Escalation: In July 2025, the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) reported a 21.2% increase in global antisemitic incidents compared to July 2024. The trend for the entirety of 2025 is projected to reach nearly 6,800 incidents, following a record-breaking 2024. Violence Persists: High-profile violent incidents in 2025 have occurred in locations such as Boulder, Colorado (firebombing a pro-Israel event); Washington D.C. (shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers); and New York, with the most severe being the December 2025 Bondi Beach Hanukkah massacre in Australia that killed 15 people. Beyond the Conflict: Even after a Gaza peace deal and ceasefire were enacted in October 2025, reports noted that anti-Israel sentiment and antisemitism persisted and, in some cases, intensified, with incidents such as a "Genocide-Free Spaces" campaign in Chile targeting Israelis. This suggests that for some perpetrators, the end of active warfare did not end the motivation for targeting Jews and Israelis. Manifestations of Hate: A significant portion of documented incidents are categorized as anti-Israel or anti-Zionist manifestations of antisemitism, though classical antisemitism and Islamist extremism also contribute to the rise. These developments support the argument that a baseline level of antisemitic hate exists independently of specific Israeli military actions or peace processes, as incidents continue regardless of the conflict's status.
