Jews in North America are increasingly alarmed by rising antisemitism, with the Anti-Defamation League reporting a 900% surge in incidents over the past decade. In Canada, antisemitic incidents hit an all-time high of 6,219 in 2024, exacerbated by anti-Israel protests at universities following the October 7 Hamas attack. ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt emphasizes that anti-Zionism can cross into antisemitism when it denies Israel’s right to exist. The U.S. also faces unprecedented antisemitic violence, with 9,354 incidents recorded in 2024, driven by white supremacist activity and extreme anti-Israel rhetoric.
