Antisemitic incidents in New York state reached troubling historic levels last year, a new report released on Tuesday from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) shows.
In its annual audit on antisemitic incidents in New York and across the U.S., the anti-hate organization reported a massive 110% surge in antisemitic incidents in the Empire State last year, including episodes of physical violence. In total, there were 1,218 incidents, the highest number ever recorded by ADL in the state and the second highest number recorded in any state across the country last year.
