2025 Was Deadliest Year for Diaspora Jews in Three Decades, Tel Aviv University Finds

A separate Israeli report identifies Britain as having the highest per‑capita rate of antisemitic assaults in the diaspora.

The attack at Sydney's Bondi Beach killed 15 members of the Jewish community.

Overview

  • Tel Aviv University’s annual antisemitism report released Monday counts 20 Jews killed in four attacks in Sydney, Washington, D.C., Boulder, and Manchester.
  • The study logs a modest rise to 1,750 total incidents in 2025, far above pre‑2023 levels, with some countries seeing fewer reports but more violent assaults.
  • Researchers say most physical attacks were carried out by lone actors linked to white supremacist or radical Islamist motives, which makes detection and prevention harder.
  • The report warns that persistent hostility risks becoming normalized and criticizes Israel’s Diaspora Affairs Ministry for ineffective and politicized responses.
  • In a separate tally covering the 12 months to April 2026, the Israeli ministry reports 121 violent incidents in the UK, the highest assault rate per capita among large diaspora communities.
