Those We Lost to Hatred

A partial remembrance of Jewish lives taken in antisemitic attacks, in Israel and around the world. The oldest hatred did not end with the Shoah, and it has not ended now.

2025 was the deadliest year for Jews of the Diaspora in three decades. Around twenty were murdered in antisemitic attacks worldwide, and assaults reached record levels, a grim measure of a hatred that surged after October 7.

Who, and why. These were not random. The Buenos Aires bombings of 1992 and 1994, the deadliest antisemitic attacks in the Americas, were carried out by Hezbollah at Iran's direction; Argentine prosecutors indicted Iranian officials, and the prosecutor who pursued them, Alberto Nisman, was later found dead. The Mumbai Chabad House was singled out for slaughter amid the 2008 Lashkar-e-Taiba assault that killed 166 across the city. One network, one hatred, runs through much of this list.

Not only the dead. A memorial counts the murdered, but the hatred runs far wider than any body count. Since October 7, antisemitic harassment, assault and intimidation have surged to record levels across the West, including on American university campuses, where Jewish students have been mobbed, blockaded, and made afraid to wear a kippah to class. It rarely ends in a funeral. It is the same fire. The claims, checked →
