Antisemitism has long existed in the United States. Most Jewish community relations agencies in the United States draw distinctions between antisemitism, which is measured in terms of attitudes and behaviors, and the security and status of American Jews, which are both measured by the occurrence of specific incidents.

FBI data shows that in every year since 1991, Jews were the most frequent victims of religiously motivated hate crimes.^[1] The number of hate crimes against Jews may be underreported, as in the case for many other targeted groups.^[2]

According to a survey which was conducted by the Anti-Defamation League in 2019, antisemitism is rejected by a majority of Americans, with 79% of them lauding Jews' cultural contributions to the nation. The same poll found that only 19% of Americans adhered to the longstanding antisemitic canard that Jews co-control Wall Street,^[3] while 31% agreed with the statement "Jewish employers go out of their way to hire other Jews".^[4] In 2023, the Biden administration launched^[5] the U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism.
