Anti-Jewish hatred spiked last year in Georgia and the United States to the highest level recorded, according to a new report released Thursday by the Anti-Defamation League. The annual report showing a 36% increase nationally in antisemitic incidents and a 63% increase in the state came as legislators are debating adding a definition of antisemitism to the state's hate crime law. 'Whether you're Jewish or not, the ongoing rise of antisemitic incidents in our region and nation should concern you,' said Eytan Davidson, who heads up the ADL's Southeast office.
