Israel National News reports: “In response to a spate of violent incidents targeting Jewish Americans—including an arson attack at Governor Josh Shapiro’s residence and deadly assaults in Washington DC and Boulder, Colorado—the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Center for Antisemitism Research has released findings from a new nationwide survey revealing alarming attitudes toward antisemitism in the United States.
The survey, conducted on June 10, 2025, among a nationally representative sample of 1,000 Americans, found that nearly one in four Americans (24%) described the recent antisemitic attacks as ‘understandable.’ A similar proportion claimed the incidents were false flag operations intended to bolster support for Israel. Additionally, 22% denied that the events were antisemitic, 15% described the violence as ‘necessary,’ 14% said they did not qualify as hate crimes, and 13% went so far as to call them ‘justified.’
