According to DAIA annual report, Argentina records rise in antisemitism, with 62% of incidents online

A total of 713 incidents of antisemitism were recorded in Argentina in 2025, the Delegation of Argentine Jewish Associations (DAIA) revealed in its new annual report.

This figure represents an increase of 3.78% compared to the 687 cases recorded in 2024, indicating that antisemitism persists at a high level. It also means about two antisemitic incidents took place each day in 2025.

Of the total number of incidents, 62% occurred online. Most of the online antisemitism (90%) took place on social media platforms.

It is here that the DAIA notes the circulation of antisemitic hatred, with the proliferation of pro-Nazi, Holocaust denial, racial, and other hateful materials.

48 antisemitic attacks were reported in public streets and areas.

DAIA found that throughout 2025, the trend of antisemitic incidents was strongly influenced by international events related to the conflict in the Middle East. One of the most significant findings of the period was the marked decline in recorded incidents beginning in October, following the ceasefire and the return of those kidnapped on October 7 to their homes.

DAIA said the decline observed in the months following the ceasefire reflects “the firm and unconditional commitment of the National Government in the fight against antisemitism and in defense of democratic values” as well as the work of DAIA and numerous institutions in combating misinformation and prejudice.

“The numbers warn us about persistent challenges and emerging threats,” said Mauro Berenstein, President of DAIA. “But they also show that when strong institutions, democratic leadership, community commitment, and a society that values coexistence exist, it is possible to contain the spread of hatred.”

“The fight against antisemitism is not only about denouncing it. It is also about creating the conditions for a community to fully live its identity, develop its institutions, transmit its values, and freely contribute to building a more diverse, democratic, and pluralistic society.”

Bernstein added that Argentina remains one of the few countries in the diaspora where a Jewish family can be born, educated, pray, celebrate, debate, build community, and fully express its identity.

“Because a full Jewish life is not an accident. It is the result of strong institutions, a committed community, a society that values coexistence, and the collective decision to confront hatred with education, truth, and respect.”
