Antisemitism and safety fears surge among US Jews, survey finds

Nearly two-thirds of American Jews feel less secure in the U.S. than they did a year ago. That's according to the latest annual survey from the American Jewish Committee. The AJC — a prominent Jewish advocacy organization — conducted the survey last fall, just as the Israel-Hamas war began. The survey released Tuesday found almost half of American Jews have altered their behavior during the past year to avoid being perceived as Jewish. AJC began its annual survey five years ago, after the Tree of Life synagogue massacre, the deadliest antisemitic attack on American soil. Since then, most Jews and more than half of Americans say they think antisemitism has increased.
