To respond to the threat of domestic extremism, it is critical to understand the root causes and cultural landscape that have allowed extremist ideas and groups to gain a foothold in American society.

Antisemitic incidents remained at a historically high level across the United States in 2020, with a total of 2,024 incidents of assault, harassment and vandalism reported to ADL (the Anti-Defamation League). While antisemitic incidents declined by 4 percent after hitting an all-time high in 2019, last year was still the third-highest year for incidents against American Jews since ADL started tracking such data in 1979.
