Fifty-two of the 109 anti-Semitic incidents recorded in Pennsylvania in 2019 took
place in Philadelphia County.

in an attack that ended at a Jersey City kosher supermarket. Later that
month, a man killed one person and wounded four in a stabbing at a
Chanukah party in Monsey, New York.

“This was a year of unprecedented anti-Semitic activity, a time when
many Jewish communities across the country had direct encounters
with hate,” Jonathan Greenblatt, the ADL’s CEO, said in a statement
accompanying the report. “This contributed to a rising climate of
anxiety and fear in our communities.”
The majority of American Jews have witnessed or experienced
anti-Semitism in the past five years, according to another recently
released ADL study. Close to two-thirds said that they’re less safe than
they were a decade ago.

The number of anti-Semitic physical assaults rose as well, to 61 from
39. This increase came at the same time as a 19% increase in acts of
anti-Semitic vandalism and a 6% increase in anti-Semitic harassment.

Of the 2,107 incidents counted, the 1,127 incidents of harassment made
up more than half the total. There were 919 incidents of anti-Semitic
vandalism, including 746 involving a swastika.

The number of incidents taking place in public areas, like parks
or streets, was greater than in 2018, though fewer were reported on
campus and in Jewish institutions. Just 11% of the incidents, a total of
234, took place at Jewish institutions, and nearly 9%, or 186 incidents,
occurred on campus.

Extremist groups, or people inspired by an extremist ideology, were
responsible for 13% of the incidents, a total of 270, the ADL found.

Most of those incidents were flyers or banners intended to be used as
propaganda. There were 171 incidents involving references to Israel and Zionism.

Among those that referenced Israel, 68 came from white supremacist
groups. Ben Sales is a reporter for JTA. l
