Overview
- The RIAS network presented its 2025 annual report on Wednesday showing 8,725 antisemitic incidents recorded nationwide last year, roughly three times the 2022 level.
- About 68 percent of the cases were classified as Israel-related and more than a quarter occurred online, with threats and coded imagery rising sharply in digital spaces.
- Incidents with a right-wing extremist background reached a record 807 in 2025 while RIAS also documented 178 physical attacks and four cases described as extreme violence.
- Jewish communities report everyday insecurity, with some people hiding visible Jewish signs or avoiding Hebrew, and leaders call for durable funding for reporting and counselling centres.
- Policy debates focus on stricter platform enforcement, stepped-up law-enforcement responses, and the definition used to classify antisemitism, with a Berlin party-candidates panel organized to debate next steps.
