Two years after the Hamas-led massacre in Israel on October 7, 2023, an unprecedented wave of antisemitism continues to surge across the world, according to new data released by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM).
What began as an eruption of hostility in the days following the attack has grown into widespread hatred, violence and intimidation targeting Jewish communities on nearly every continent. The trend has intensified alongside the prolonged conflict in Gaza.

Jewish communities in dozens of countries report daily incidents of antisemitism, including threats, physical assaults, vandalism, harassment and hate speech both in public and on social media. Other cases include social exclusion and, in some cases, deadly violence.
Since October 7, 2023, six Jews have been murdered in antisemitic attacks around the world, the report found, with deadly incidents recorded in the United Kingdom, the United States and elsewhere.
Sharp rise documented in new global study
A comprehensive study by CAM’s Antisemitism Research Center (ARC) recorded 13,339 antisemitic incidents worldwide between October 7, 2023, and October 1, 2025.
In the last three months of 2023 — October, November and December — immediately after the Hamas massacre, 1,785 antisemitic incidents were documented globally, nearly matching the total recorded throughout 2022.
In 2024, the number of cases more than doubled, reaching 6,326 incidents, while between January 1 and October 1, 2025, 5,118 incidents were reported.
On U.S. college campuses and at other institutions of higher education, antisemitic activity has nearly tripled — from 249 incidents in 2022 to 742 in 2024, according to the report.
Another CAM review found 694 antisemitic incidents recorded globally in August 2025 — a 15.7% increase compared to August 2024, when 600 incidents were documented. The August figure also represented a 25.3% rise from July 2025, when 554 cases were reported.
Deadly attacks in Manchester, Washington and Colorado
In recent days, during Yom Kippur prayers in Manchester, England, two Jews — Adrian Dolby and Melvin Kravitz — were murdered in a ramming and stabbing attack. Four others were wounded.
In May 2025, Yaron Lishinsky and Sarah Milgram, a couple employed at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, were shot dead outside the city’s Jewish Museum. Less than two weeks later, another deadly attack targeted Jews and Israelis in Boulder, Colorado, when a 45-year-old Egyptian national threw flammable liquid and Molotov cocktails at participants in a weekly rally calling for the release of Israeli hostages. Karen Diamond, 82, was killed and eight others were injured.
Pro-Palestinian demonstrations have also taken place across Europe and the United States, including rallies in Dublin, London and Seattle, where protesters were recorded calling for an “intifada.”
'The true number is likely much higher'
CAM officials said the report only includes cases documented by authorities. The organization warned that the true number is likely much higher, citing widespread fear among Jews since October 7, 2023, as well as declining trust in law enforcement and governments.
“Many Jews worldwide live in a state of fear,” CAM noted, saying victims often avoid reporting antisemitic incidents due to fear of retaliation or lack of confidence in official response.
Sacha Roytman, CEO of the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM), stated: "Two years after October 7, the wounds have not healed — and the hatred has not faded. The Hamas massacre was not only an attack on Israel; it was a turning point for Jews everywhere. What followed was the largest surge in antisemitism in modern history — and that surge has not slowed. It has deepened, spread, and been excused.
"This is no longer a Jewish problem. It is a moral test for humanity. When Jews are targeted with impunity, every democratic value is endangered. Silence is complicity — and silence is exactly what hatred feeds on.
"Every person must decide: turn away, or take a stand. Because the fight against antisemitism is the fight for truth, freedom, and human dignity itself. On this anniversary, we call on all people of conscience to confront lies, reject Jew-hatred, and ensure that ‘Never Again’ is not just a slogan — but a promise kept."
