2024 U.S. Anti-Jewish Hate Crimes Nearly Tenfold Higher Than Others, Anti-Asian Crimes Second-Highest

Recent data from the FBI and advocacy groups show that hate crimes in the U.S. remain alarmingly high across multiple communities. Anti-Asian hate crimes in 2024 were the second-highest on record, with incidents at least three times higher than pre-pandemic levels, although a slight 6.8% decline was noted, underscoring ongoing challenges in law enforcement reporting and community safety. Similarly, anti-Jewish hate crimes rose by 5.8% in 2024, representing 69% of all religion-based hate crimes and nearly 18% of all hate crimes nationwide, prompting calls from the Anti-Defamation League for stronger federal action and better reporting compliance. In the UK, antisemitic incidents remained near record levels in the first half of 2025, with a significant proportion linked to the Israel-Gaza conflict, reflecting a global surge in antisemitism. Additionally, anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes, though slightly decreased in 2024, continue to be a major concern, attributed largely to hostile political rhetoric. These trends highlight a persistent and widespread climate of hate targeting diverse communities, with advocacy groups urging governments to intensify efforts to combat hate crimes and improve data collection and prevention measures.
