Correction: The original version of this story gave a different picture of the trends in anti-Semitic attacks, based on data from the Anti-Defamation League’s website that were updated on the day our article was published
According to the Anti-Defamation League , an advocacy group, anti-Semitism is at an all-time high in America. The group recorded about 3,697 hate incidents targeting Jews in 2022, up from 2,717 in 2021. According to’s data, incidents of harassment and vandalism increased last year by 29% and 51% respectively. Assaults also increased by 26%. About 6m American adults identify as Jewish.
Their numbers may be fairly small, but white supremacists have found an old-fashioned way to seem ubiquitous. Carla Hill, head of’s Centre on Extremism, says white supremacist groups have embraced printed propaganda as the way forward for their movement. In 2017 a handful of groups distributed anti-Semitic pamphlets a few dozen times across 20 states. Last year more than 30 groups spread anti-Semitic messaging 852 times in every state except Hawaii and New Mexico.
Often done under the cover of night, leaflet drops allow perpetrators to remain anonymous. If caught, they may get away with a minor citation for littering or trespassing. As deplorable as it may be, in many cases hate speech is protected by the First Amendment, though some states are trying to find ways to curb it. In New Hampshire the Department of Justice recently brought civil charges against two members of-131 who hung a banner from an overpass reading “Keep New England White”.
