Anti-Semitic assaults increase in U.S.
Violent anti-Semitic attacks in the United States rose 50 percent last year to a total of 56, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
“And we know that for every incident reported, there’s likely another that goes unreported,” said Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the ADL, which produced the study and calls the trend “very concerning.”
The increase occurred as the total number of anti-Semitic incidents—including physical and verbal assaults and vandalism—remained fairly steady, rising 3 percent from 2014.
