Reports of antisemitic incidents increase by about a fifth in the first half of 2026, according to the Community Security Trust (CST). The CST says the figure represents the second-highest total of antisemitic incidents recorded for the first half of any year. The CST tracks incidents reported to it and provides statistics intended to reflect trends in antisemitism. Based on its reporting, the first six months of 2026 show a rise compared with the same period a year earlier, continuing a pattern of high reported levels in recent years. The sources cite the CST’s overall totals and do not provide further breakdowns in the material available here, such as geographic distribution or the specific types of incidents involved. The data refers to “incidents” as recorded and reported to the CST, rather than confirmed criminal convictions. Overall, the combined coverage highlights the CST’s assessment that the first half of 2026 produces one of the highest recorded mid-year totals on record, with reported incidents up by roughly 20%.
