In July, the Antisemitism Research Center (ARC) by CAM monitored 554 antisemitic incidents worldwide, with an average of 17.9 incidents per day. Compared with July 2024, the number reflects a 21.2% increase (457 incidents in July 2024 versus 554 in July 2025).
From January 1 to July 31, 2025, the ARC recorded a total of 3,883 incidents, representing a 9.4% rise compared to the 3,550 incidents reported during the same period in 2024.

143 antisemitic incidents were recorded in the United States in July 2025, representing a 17.2% increase compared with the 122 incidents reported in June 2025. Due in large part to the fact that colleges are currently on summer vacation, the ARC recorded only nine incidents on U.S. campuses in July, a number sure to increase dramatically when classes resume for the fall semester. Anti-Israel activists vandalized the homes of at least four University of Wisconsin regents, spray-painting “Regents are complicit in genocide.” A MIT laboratory was tagged with “Death to the IOF” graffiti, and a University of Kentucky professor was suspended for signing an online petition calling for military intervention against Israel.
Throughout July, governments and institutions around the world took several important steps to address the rising tide of antisemitism. Costa Rica became the 47th country globally, and sixth in Latin America, to adopt the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism, while the Commonwealth of Virginia enacted legislation banning the display of Nazi symbols. In Australia, the state of Victoria launched a dedicated task force to better empower law enforcement to fight antisemitism, following a synagogue arson.
New research published in July highlighted deeply troubling trends, including record-high antisemitism on U.S. campuses during the 2024-2025 school year, widespread bias in Australian society, and growing concern over the role of educators in antisemitic incidents in Toronto schools. An ARC analysis highlighted the emerging threat posed by generative AI models deliberately designed to promote antisemitic conspiracy theories online, while a recently-released CAM poll found less than one-quarter of Australians believe Jews were viewed positively in their country.
CAM continued its global outreach through a wide range of civic, interfaith, and educational initiatives in July. From the AMMWEC women’s summit in Washington, D.C., to a joint action tour in Argentina, and a special ceremony in Tennessee celebrating new legislation combating antisemitism in public schools, CAM worked with leaders across the globe to secure and nurture Jewish life and strengthen social unity.
