Majority of American Jews experienced antisemitism over past year, CAM survey shows

A survey by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) reveals that a majority of American Jews experienced antisemitism over the past year. The survey highlights a widespread and concerning trend of hate incidents, including harassment, vandalism, and violence. Former US deputy special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism Aaron Keyak emphasized the need to treat antisemitism as a deadly threat. The findings underscore a growing climate of fear and insecurity within the Jewish community in the United States. The survey's release comes amid a broader national conversation about hate crimes and social cohesion.

Global Impact

The survey's findings have significant social and political implications. Socially, it highlights a deteriorating environment for Jewish Americans, potentially leading to increased emigration to Israel or other countries.
