A report released on Wednesday, July 29th, 2026, by the J7 Large Communities' Task Force Against Antisemitism found that 2025 was the deadliest year for antisemitic attacks outside Israel. The study examined Jewish communities in Argentina, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Britain, and the United States, which together host over 90% of Jewish people outside Israel.

The report highlighted that approximately 20 people were murdered in antisemitic attacks across Australia, the UK, and the US in 2025, marking the deadliest year for such attacks in the diaspora since the 1994 AMIA bombing in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people. The deadliest single event in 2025 was a mass shooting at a Hanukkah festival near Australia's Bondi Beach, where 15 people were killed.

Germany recorded the highest number of antisemitic incidents in 2025, both in absolute and relative terms, accounting for 22.6% of all recorded incidents in the country. Josef Schuster, president of the German Central Council of Jews, described the figures as indicative of an "ongoing normalization of antisemitism" in Germany.

The J7 task force stated, "Antisemitism in our seven countries is no longer a surge; it is our new normal," and urged governments to shift from reactive to proactive measures, including increased security funding, stronger legislation, and enforcement of social media platform rules.

According to the report, antisemitic incidents increased following the Gaza war triggered by Hamas's deadly October 7, 2023 attack. Although the total number of incidents declined from 2024 to 2025, the figures remain significantly above pre-October 7, 2023 levels.
