Brazil’s 2025 Antisemitism Report Finds Elevated Levels, Largely Online

Researchers say the post‑2023 surge has settled into a lasting pattern that signals democratic erosion.

Overview

  • Conib’s 2025 report, released Monday, logged 989 antisemitic incidents in Brazil, up 149% from 2022 and described as a new normal.
  • About 81% of cases occurred on social platforms, where monitoring flagged 115,970 hostile posts with an estimated reach of 66 million people.
  • Researchers link domestic surges to overseas conflicts and note hate speech is shifting to lower‑moderation apps such as Discord.
  • Survey data show 86% of Jewish respondents view antisemitism as a problem and 22% have hidden their identity out of fear.
  • Conib cites 45 volunteer lawyers working in 2025 and a Supreme Court ruling that blocks non‑prosecution deals in racist cases against Jews.
