United States: 1 in 3 American Jews were targeted by an antisemitic incident last year, AJC survey finds

By AJC

According to the latest annual State of Antisemitism in America Report released by American Jewish Committee (AJC) on February 10, 2026, a majority of American Jews believe antisemitism has become a “very serious” problem at home. Protests like that one in November seem to illustrate some of the reasons why. This year’s survey revealed roughly nine in 10 (91%) American Jews say they feel less safe as a Jewish person in the U.S. as a result of attacks on Jews in the past 12 months, including the arson attack on a Jewish governor’s home in Pennsylvania, the firebombing of Jews in Boulder, Colorado, and the murder of a young couple outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C.
