President Donald Trump adopted a much more severe approach to approach the rise of anti-Semitic violence in the United States compared to his predecessor, to launch working groups to penalize university institutions that have been printed in anti-Israeli demonstrations.

For example, Trump’s Ministry of Justice has suppressed the Palestinian militant group Hamas, creating a new working group in March aimed at doing justice to the victims of Hamas on October 7, 2023, the attack on Israel.

Attorney General Bondi said the group, known as the Task Force joint on October 7, would focus on the identification, burden and prosecution of those who led the 2023 attacks, which took the lives of around 1,200 people – including 47 American citizens. Hamas also took more than 250 people hostage that day, including eight American citizens.

“The president and his administration have been clear: anti-Semitism has no place in America, and those who house or advance this insidious behavior will be held responsible to the extent of the law,” said White House spokesman Harrison Fields, in a press release at Fox News Digital.

Meanwhile, the Biden administration has recently been criticized in a service note from the Chamber’s judicial committee in July which said that its administration directed taxpayers’ financing to demonstrations in Israel against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“The surveillance of the Committee revealed that the Biden-Harris administration has provided grant funds to groups which have contributed directly and indirectly to the demonstrations of legal reform which sought to undermine the Israeli government,” the committee in the memo wrote.

Meanwhile, the legislators of the House’s internal security committee warn that anti-Semitic attacks become “more frequent alarming” in the United States while the FBI launches an investigation into anti-Semitic graffiti outside the house of a former soldier of Israeli Defense forces (FDI) in Clayton, Missouri.

Clayton police department Missouri announced on Tuesday in a statement that he had launched an investigation after the police found “death at the FDI” sporting the sidewalk next to three vehicles that had been burnt down. The police service said he thought that the fire had been “intentionally put” and that the victim had been “specifically targeted”.

The FDI is the national army of Israel, which was involved in a conflict with Gaza after Hamas launched an attack on Israel. Hamas has been the Gaza director of Gaza.

It is not known if the Tsahal soldier involved in the Missouri incident is Jewish.

The attack follows several other acts of anti -Semitic violence in 2025, including those of Boulder, Colorado and Washington, DC, this spring.

“No American should live in fear because of their political or religious beliefs,” said the representative. August pflugerThe president of the terrorist and intelligence subcommittee of the internal security committee, said in a statement at Fox News Digital. “However, this week, a Jewish American – with a courageous service assessment supporting one of the allies closest to our country – had their private property burnt down by extremists seeking to intimidate them as well as their families. Acts of anti -Semitic and anti -Israelis violence increased are increasingly frequent.”

“These are not isolated incidents, but part of a larger and deeply disturbing increase in hatred powered by online propaganda and on university campuses,” said PFLUGER.

Leo Terrell, head of the working group of the Ministry of Justice to combat anti -Semitism, said in a post of Tuesday X that the attack occurred outside the home of an American citizen who served in the FDI.

Terrell also said that the FBI had been immediately contacted and worked in tandem with local authorities to investigate the issue. Local authorities said they were sounding the attack as a hatred crime.

The FBI and the White House did not respond to a request for comments from Fox News Digital.

PFLUGER has repeatedly warned the rise of anti -Semitic violence, and the House’s House Security Committee met the stakeholders and the application of the laws to approach the question during a round table in Congress behind closed doors on July 22.

In addition, PFLUGER held an audience in June on the issue following a terrorist attack in Colorado targeting a basic group pleading for the liberation of Israeli hostages and a shooting in May who killed two Israeli embassy employees in Washington.

On Wednesday, the Ministry of Justice inaugurated an indictment against Elias Rodriguez, 31, the suspect involved in the shooting in Washington, revealing federal accusations of hatred and murder as part of the shooting.

The accusation act is in addition to other accusations against Rodriguez in a complaint filed with the American district court of the Columbia district, including the accusations of murder of a foreign official, causing death by using a firearm and the release of a firearm during a crime of violence.

The indictment includes two federal chiefs of hatred crime leading to death and two local chiefs with the intention of killing when they were armed.

Meanwhile, anti-Semitic violence reached a new summit in 2024, according to the Anti-Diffamation League.

The group recorded 9,354 anti -Semitic cases of harassment, aggression and vandalism in the United States in 2024 – an increase of 5% compared to the 8,873 incidents recorded in 2023 and an increase of 344% in the last five years. The number of incidents is the highest that the group has recorded since 1979, when the group began to follow these cases.

House President Homeland Security Committee, Andrew Garbarino, RN.Y., said in a statement at Fox News Digital on Thursday that he was “deeply concerned” by the increase in anti -Semitic violence and terrorism – including this last attack.

“There is no room in America for this hatred and intimidation vile, but it has increased in the years that followed the devastating, cowardly and not caused attacks on October 7 in Hamas,” said Garbarino.
