It has been one year since the Palestinian militant group Hamas in the Gaza Strip attacked Israel on the 7th. According to provisional figures compiled by the American Jewish organization Anti-Defamation League (ADL), assaults and harassment against Jews in the United States have increased by about three times in the past year.
According to the ADL, more than 10,000 anti-Semitic incidents occurred between October 7, 2023 and September 2024, a sharp increase from 3,325 the previous year. This was the highest number of incidents in a 12-month period since the organization began keeping statistics in 1979.
Since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas, hate crimes and prejudice targeting Jews, Muslims and Arabs have also been increasing sharply across the United States.
The Committee on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) announced in April this year that 8,061 reports of anti-Muslim prejudice were received in 2023, the highest number in the 28 years since the organization began compiling data.

On the 9th, US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller warned that it is unacceptable for southern Lebanon, where Israeli forces are conducting ground operations, to become like the Palestinian-controlled region of Gaza. At the same time, he said that the US government is deeply concerned about the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip and is in urgent consultation with Israel.
At a regular press conference, Miller said, "It is unacceptable for the situation in Lebanon to become like the Gaza Strip," and "military actions like those being taken in Gaza should not be carried out in Lebanon with similar results."
Regarding the Gaza Strip, he said that the US government is deeply concerned about the humanitarian situation, especially in the north, and revealed that it is in urgent consultation with Israel.

On the 14th, the Arab American PAC AAPAC announced that it would not endorse either Democratic Vice President Harris or Republican former President Trump in this year's presidential election. It said that both candidates "blindly support" Israel in the fighting in the Palestinian territories of Gaza and Lebanon.
This is the first time since its inception in 1998 that AAPAC has refrained from endorsing a candidate. It usually supports Democratic candidates.
Arab and Muslim Americans overwhelmingly supported President Biden in the 2020 presidential election, but support for the Democratic Party has declined due to strong opposition to the U.S. government's support for Israel.
Analysts believe that if Arab voters do not vote in the presidential election or vote for a third candidate, it could be a blow to Harris. Many in the Arab community who lost relatives in Gaza and Lebanon are calling for people not to vote for either Trump or Harris.
