2023 Detroit synagogue leader[edit]

The media has unfortunately abdicated much of its responsibility and polarized anti-semitic discourse in the last few years. The notion that a rabbi killed in the aftermath of October 7th, when anti-semitic crimes have risen 400% this year, was not a hate crime, is a moral failing that is deeply injurious to Jewish peoples across the country. I suggest this ought to be added https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/man-charged-murder-death-detroit-synagogue-leader-rcna124908 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7000:3802:27F3:145E:B896:100:7D20 (talk) 18:32, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2020 Kenosha synagogue vandalism[edit]

I've removed this section for now. Neither the JNS source nor a couple other sources I found after a quick search – Jewish Journal and JTA – explicitly call this an act of anti-Semitism. JJ quotes several tweets by advocacy groups that use that term, but don't call it that themselves. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 07:41, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

List becoming unwieldy?[edit]

If we include every incident of verbal abuse and vandalism, this list will be unending and also overshadow major incidents. I advise we stick to major incidents of violence (including planned terrorist attacks). Open to other proposals. Loksmythe (talk) 15:10, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have reservations about the proposal. I added the arson incident at Congregation Beth Israel in Austin, Texas almost a year after it occurred, and I was surprised it hadn't been added immediately. The perpetrator certainly hoped to burn down the sanctuary, and due to the extensive smoke damage, the congregation was prevented from using it. While this incident might still qualify under your proposed criteria, acts of vandalism directed at synagogues and Jewish institutions such as museums are hate crimes meant to instill fear among Jews everywhere. I am more worried about incidents not being reported. I'm also worried about who gets to decide. A.T.S. in Texas (talk) 16:36, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@A.T.S. in Texas The Austin synagogue arson would assuredly qualify under the "major incidents" classification. It was meant to be violent, even if no one was hurt, and received widespread and sustained coverage, including in local and national RS, over the course of several years. I'm sure if there are disagreements about what qualifies for inclusion, this talk page would be a proper venue for reasonable discussion. Longhornsg (talk) 22:01, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agree. Technically, every one of the hundreds of antisemitic incidents (ranging from verbal abuse to violence) with RS coverage (many of them), in addition to US-related incidents mentioned in Antisemitism during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war and the largely unsourced List of attacks on Jewish institutions in the United States would qualify for inclusion here. This could be thousands, most of which are relatively non-notable and don't receive sustained coverage.
Propose we rescope and rename this page to List of antisemitic attacks in the United States and merge in much of the content from List of attacks on Jewish institutions in the United States, to include only incidents that receive more than passing coverage and have a violent or notable aspect to them.

You need to add the violent Charlottesville, VA march where the white supremacists shouted "the Jews will not replace us"[edit]
