Antisemitic Incidents Rise In The U.S. and Houston

A disturbing new study from the Anti-Defamation League are on the rise again across the U.S., and even here in Houston.

In fact, the incidents have gone up here in Houston the last several years.

"Yes, the numbers over a five year period predominantly in the Houston area, but across the entire southern portion of Texas over five years, the region is up 246%" said Jake Kurz, spokesperson for the ADL here in Texas.

These increased incidents are not only happening at universities, but also at K-12 schools, and even out in public.

"We've noticed it sort of across the board" Kurz told KTRH, "In addition to the protests that we saw on college campuses, this year vandalism was up 64%."

The study also found that 72% of the incidents were harassment.

As for the agitators, Pro-Palestinian groups topped the list.
