The Anti-Defamation League says the number of antisemitic incidents in the United States reached a record high last year. The group's report released Tuesday notes that 58% of the 9,354 incidents related to Israel, notably chants, speeches and signs at rallies protesting Israeli policies. The ADL has produced annual tallies for 46 years. This is the first time Israel-related incidents comprised more than half the total. It says a key reason is widespread opposition to Israel's military response in Gaza after the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. The ADL's findings add new grist to an intense debate among American Jews over the extent to which vehement criticism of Israeli policies and of Zionism should be considered antisemitic.

President Donald Trump is warning that the arrest and possible deportation of a Palestinian activist who helped lead protests at Columbia University will be the first "of many to come" as his administration cracks down on students protesting the war in Gaza. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested Saturday by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. His lawyer says the agents claimed the government was revoking his green card. The Department of Homeland Security has said the arrest was in response to Trump's executive orders prohibiting antisemitism. A protest is scheduled later Monday at ICE offices in Manhattan.
