Survey reveals that over 3 million American Jews have experienced antisemitism after Oct. 7 attack

A recent study conducted this month showed that 3.5 million American Jews have experienced antisemitism since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel. 

According to the study from the Combat Antisemitism Movement, one fifth of Jewish children have experienced antisemitism since Oct. 7 in 2023. 

The study was conducted by Dr. Ira Sheskin at the University of Miami and was administered by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago. 

The study found that three out of four Jews don't usually report antisemitic incidents to anyone outside of their family. 

Following the Oct. 7 attack, 27% of American Jews reported they avoid showing evidence of their Jewish heritage at work, up from 18%. 

College campuses also saw a rise in antisemitism after multiple anti-Israel protests occurred at universities, including Columbia University and Harvard. 

The report shows that 39% of "college-related" people had felt uncomfortable or unsafe at a campus event because they were Jewish.
