A recent AP-NORC poll found that many Jewish adults in the US feel unsafe, with a majority saying they feel less safe than before Hamas’ 2023 attack on Israel. About 6 in 10 Jewish adults say that prejudice against Jewish people is an “extremely” or “very” serious problem in the United States today.
Antisemitism on the Rise
About 3 in 10 Jewish adults say they or someone in their household has experienced physical assault, verbal abuse, online harassment, or damaged property because of their Jewish background over the last year. Jewish adults who attend religious services at least once a month are much likelier than Jewish adults overall to say they or someone in their household has experienced attacks or harassment over their Jewish background.
Some Jewish adults have grown wary of outwardly identifying themselves as Jewish following the Oct. 7 attacks, with about 4 in 10 saying they are “less likely” to wear, carry, or display things that might identify them as a Jewish person than they were before Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack.
