(Washington Post) Lauren Markoe - Anti-Semitic incidents in the U.S. spiked 21% last year, according to the Anti-Defamation League. The ADL counted 912 incidents in 2014, up from 751 the previous year. The report shows 36 assaults, up from 31 in 2013; 363 incidents of vandalism in 2014, compared with 315 in 2013; and 513 incidents of threats and harassment in 2014, contrasted with 405 in 2013. ADL researchers correlate the rise in anti-Semitism to last summer's war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. 2014 also included the fatal shootings at a Jewish community center in Overland Park, Kan.
