I had no idea what I was getting into when I started reading this -- having popped back into the community after about ten years lapsed, looking for takes on the latest Epstein Files -- but I enjoyed it immensely.
Important: The ADL is not a credible source for antisemitic incidents for a couple of reasons: (1) it considers much expressed anti-Israel sentiment, or even certain statements in support of Palestinian rights, necessarily antisemitic, and (2) it doesn't verify incidents well. Basically any person can drop a line like "I'm Jewish and a person who looked Arab bit me" and it'll be counted if it suits the ADL's purposes to count it. The other forms of hate it tracks besides antisemitism mostly serve to bolster its reputation so that it can get away with inflating antisemitism stats.
My anecdotal experience is consistent with a substantial rise in antisemitism over the past couple of years, but I do not at all trust the ADL to quantify it.
