ADL CEO Greenblatt Tells Newsmax: Surge in Anti-Semitic Incidents Represents a ‘Wave of Hate’

Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt revealed on Newsmax Tuesday that incidents of anti-Semitism in the United States have surged to unprecedented levels, describing the current situation as a “tsunami of hate.”

In an interview on “The Record With Greta Van Susteren,” Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, expressed grave concern over the alarming rise in anti-Semitic incidents across the United States.

Greenblatt stated, “I will tell you the issues aren’t like anything we’ve ever seen before. ADL has been tracking anti-Semitic incidents in America since the 1970s. And what we’re dealing with today could only be characterized as a tsunami of hate.”

According to Greenblatt, the ADL recorded a staggering “8,873 anti-Semitic acts” last year, more than double the number reported in 2022, which itself had been a “record high.”

He emphasized that over the past five years, the organization has witnessed a new record high for anti-Semitic incidents on four separate occasions. The figure of 8,873 represents an increase of nearly “900% compared to a decade ago,” indicating a significant shift in the landscape of hate crimes.

Greenblatt highlighted the pervasive nature of anti-Semitic sentiments, noting their presence on “college campuses, in public spaces, private workplaces, halls of Congress, and even on the campaign trail.” He stressed that the prevalence of anti-Jewish hate has escalated to levels previously unseen, describing it as a “zenith we never wanted to see.”
