The Anti-Defamation League has tallied an incomplete 2,707 antisemitic incidents in America in 2025.

These crimes are only 29% of the abominable 9,354 that the ADL compiled in 2024, the last year of Joe Biden's catastrophic presidency.

This spectacular decline is an unrecognized major accomplishment in the first year of President Donald Trump' s incredibly successful second term.

On Jan. 30, 2025, just 10 days after being sworn-in by Chief Justice John Roberts, President Trump issued Executive Order 14188, "Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism."

It revivified and expanded the president’s Executive Order 13899 in December 2019, which committed his administration to battling the rise of antisemitism since 2013, "in the United States and around the world."

The earlier order prophetically singled out K- 12 schools and universities as major breeding grounds of this ancient hatred, as antisemitic offenses on American college campuses skyrocketed by 84%, from 921 in 2023 to 1,694 in 2024.

After taking office in January 2021, President Biden had unconscionably discarded his predecessor's landmark executive order, and there were 3,698 antisemitic incidents in 2022, or a humongous 83% increase from the 2,026 in 2020.

Unsurprisingly in 2025, of the incomplete 2,707 incidents, 1,577, or an egregiously disproportionate 58%, occurred in eight Democratic trifecta states (governorship and both legislative branches.)

New York ignominiously leads with 615 offensives, or 23% of America's total.

California ranks second with 386, or a horrendous 14%.

New Jersey has 139 offenses; Massachusetts, 132; Colorado, 88; Illinois, 87; Washington, 84; and Maryland, 46.

In stark contrast, nine Republican trifecta states have a miniscule 370 antisemitic crimes in 2025, or also 14% of the nation’s total.

Florida has 101; Texas, 89; Ohio, 54; Georgia, 44: Missouri, 35; Indiana, 22; Tennessee, 11; South Carolina, 8; and Alabama, 6.

ADL’s data for 2024 for these 17 highly populous states is almost identical, with 9,354 antisemitic offenses, 5,148, or 55%, in the same eight Democratic trifectas.

Only 1,439 incidents, or 15%, were committed in the same nine Republican trifectas.

Very similarly in 2023, the ADL counted 8,873 antisemitic incidents, of which 4,690, or 53%, were in the eight Democratic trifectas.

Only 1,545, or 17%, were perpetrated in the nine Republican trifectas.

Moreover in 2023, of the 8,873 antisemitic offenses, 5,326, or 60%, occurred in the last quarter. Many were coordinated with the genocidal Islamic countries and affiliated terror groups, who on Oct. 7, 2023 launched the defeated war against Israel and the Jewish diaspora.

More granularly in 2025, ten Democratic dystopian cities have combined for 896 of the 2,707 incidents, or an odiously disproportionate 33%.

New York City's five boroughs have 448, or 17%, with Manhattan's 226 and Brooklyn's 160 totaling 386, or an abhorrent 14% of America’s total.

Los Angeles has been scarred by 95 antisemitic crimes; Washington, D.C., 60; Chicago, 53; Philadelphia, 52; and Seattle, 51.

Denver has 36; San Diego and San Francisco, 34 each; and Ann Arbor, home of the University of Michigan, 33.

In 2024, these 10 Democrat urban hellholes accounted for 2,305 antisemitic incidents, or 25% of the nation’s 9,354, with New York City suffering 972, or 10%.

Thus, the 54% the Big Apple’s decline is the smallest among these antisemitic hotspots between 2024 and 2025.

The other decreases range from Seattle's 57% to 71% in both San Francisco and Chicago.

An even steeper decline of 76% has happened in adjacent Boston and Cambridge, home to Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), from 148 incidents in 2024 to 35 in 2025.

And New Brunswick, home to Rutgers, New Jersey's flagship public university, has accomplished a phenomenal 96% improvement, from 54 offenses to 2.

More broadly, between 2021 and 2024 under Biden’s incorrigibly incompetent leadership, there were 24,642 antisemitic incidents, or 6,161 annually,

During Trump's first presidential term, there were 7,998, or 2,000 annually.

The ADL's final count of antisemitic incidents in 2025 will be released in April, but this writer’s maximum extrapolation, based on the current 2,707, is 5,000.

This would be a very impressive 47% plunge from the 9,354 offenses in 2024, which are overwhelmingly the responsibility of the heinous derelictions of duty of Joe Biden and many other leading Democrats.

In the run-up to the congressional and gubernatorial elections in November, the Trump administration and Republicans must relentlessly highlight their many successes in battling antisemitism during the last tumultuous decade, compared to the Democrats' despicable systemic failures.
