Antisemitic incidents spiked during Squad's anti-Israel rhetoric, blue states at top of list

Antisemitic incidents spiked last year around the same time members of the progressive “Squad” were ramping up anti-Israel rhetoric, with blue states being the hardest hit by the surge.

The report noted that the surge in antisemitic incidents also coincided with Israel's military conflict with Hamas around the same time period.

"For the entire month, 387 antisemitic incidents were tabulated by the ADL, 297 of which occurred between May 10 — the official start of military action — and the end of the month, an increase of 141% over the same period in 2020," the report said. " Of the 297 incidents, there were 211 cases of harassment, 71 cases of vandalism and 15 assaults."
