A total of 79 antisemitic incidents were recorded in Germany in November, representing a 172.4% increase from the 29 incidents recorded the previous month. This surge was largely driven by a crazed man in Hanau who painted 50 Nazi swastikas across the city with his blood.

364 of the 548 incidents (66.4%) recorded in November involved Israel-related antisemitism, reflecting the persistent trend of anti-Zionist rhetoric and attacks directed at Jewish individuals and institutions in the ongoing aftermath of the October 7th massacre, even as the fragile ceasefire in Gaza remained in effect.

There were 91 acts of vandalism (16.6%) in November targeting Jewish institutions and private properties with Nazi swastikas or other antisemitic symbols or threats.

34 incidents (6.2%) in November involved violence or threats of violence, including physical assaults, bomb threats, and other explicit attempts to intimidate or harm Jewish individuals or communities.

A total of 174 antisemitic incidents were recorded in the United States in November, representing a 6.1% increase from the 164 incidents recorded in November 2024.

Also in the United States, there were 56 acts of antisemitism on college campuses targeting Jewish students and communal bodies in November.

60.0% of the incidents the ARC recorded in November were linked to far-left ideology, followed by the Islamist (13.7%) and far-right (8.6%) categories, as well as unattributable (17.7%).
