Antisemitic incidents increased dramatically across Montgomery County over the course of 2022, according to recent reports from the Anti-Defamation League and county police. The 109 incidents reported to the ADL in Maryland last year represent a 98% increase from the previous year’s 55, and over half took place in Montgomery County, an ADL spokesperson reports.
Annually since 1979, the ADL, one of the leading organizations fighting antisemitism globally, produces an audit tracking the number of antisemitic incident reports it received over the course of the year. The data is broken down by state and tabulated into three categories: harassment, vandalism and assault. On Thursday, the ADL published its 2022 report.
