FACT CHECK: DID ACTS OF ANTI-SEMITISM INCREASE MORE THAN 50 PERCENT IN 2017?
Verdict: True
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) recorded 1,986 anti-Semitic incidents in 2017, up from 1,267 in 2016. This represents a 57 percent increase
Of the 1,986 incidents reported in 2017, 1,015 were categorized as harassment, a 41 percent increase over 2016.
The number was particularly high, in part, due to a spate of bomb threats. There were 163 bomb threats reported in the first quarter of 2017, with more than 150 allegedly made by a single Israeli-American teenager.
