The FBI said anti-Jewish incidents made up 64% of religion-based hate crimes, even as overall hate crimes fell to 10,606 from 11,404.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation reported on Friday that U.S. hate crimes declined 7% in 2025, falling from 11,404 incidents in 2024 to 10,606, marking the largest year-to-year decline in violent crime since FBI estimations began in 1936.
Despite the overall decline, anti-Jewish hate crimes remained disproportionately high, with 1,528 incidents reported in 2025 accounting for 63% of all religion-based hate crimes in the United States. Data shows 2025 was the third-highest year on record for antisemitic attacks.
Vandalism and property damage remained the most common offenses, with 920 incidents targeting Jewish institutions and property. Anti-Jewish crimes significantly outnumbered other groups: 205 incidents targeted Muslims and 130 targeted Arabs during the same period.
American Jewish Committee CEO Ted Deutch said the decline offers "limited comfort" to many American Jews who feel discrimination is normalized. Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL CEO, stated "Behind every one of these numbers is a person who was targeted simply for being Jewish."
Beyond domestic figures, 2025 marked the deadliest year for antisemitic attacks in the Jewish diaspora in over three decades, according to the Anti-Defamation League. Officials warn that antisemitism remains a persistent and dangerous form of hate requiring comprehensive response.
