The ADL exists solely to find instances of anti-semitism. Don't believe their statistics. Like most special interest groups, right and left, they have an interest in sensationalism.
To believe that there have been more anti-semitic acts in 2022 than in the 1980s nationally (per the article 2022 was the 'worst year' since they began tracking) is comical. People just report them more because if increased overall sensitivity to racism/bigotry/etc.

Or maybe because we have celebrities on the news spreading their hate and being excused by people like you.

Also a president/political culture who emboldened folks to come out from under their rocks and act like peices of shit, as well as normalized the behavior more.

Yup, all those "great people" were told to "stand down and stand by"

In retrospect that like the tip of the iceberg.

Or, more likely, anti-semitism hasn't gone up since the 1980s, but the ADL has an interest in portraying it as having gone up, and people like you want it to go up so you can virtue signal and pretend that you are better than others.

Oh boy, here we go. Using buzzwords you don't even know the meaning of like "virtue signaling" (utterly meaningless on a site where you're anonymous).
You know what that tells me about you? It says you think everyone is just like you but are lying. I'm sorry if you feel insecure so you need to project your crap on everyone else to make yourself feel better. Maybe stop and think about why people might disagree with you instead of calling them liars?
