A new global report from the J7 Large Communities Task Force Against Antisemitism says 2025 was the deadliest year for antisemitic attacks worldwide since 1994. The findings point to a sharp worsening in the scale and severity of violence targeting Jewish communities.
According to the report, 20 people were killed in antisemitic attacks in 2025. It also found a 97% increase in antisemitic violence, underscoring how quickly the threat has grown over the past year.
The J7 group released the findings in its second annual report, using the data to highlight what it describes as a major international security concern. Even without the full report details in the available excerpt, the headline figures alone suggest a significant escalation in lethal incidents.
By comparing 2025 with 1994, the report places the current surge in a longer historical context. The results add to growing concern about rising antisemitism worldwide and the dangers faced by Jewish communities in multiple countries.
