From the Frontlines: Is Antisemitism Worse on the Right or the Left?

"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast which brings listeners to the frontline in the battle against antisemitism and hate.
Some people see the frontline for antisemitism as the antisemitism on the left. This is especially true post 10/7. Others feel that the threat from the right is what the Jewish people need to worry about. Indeed, the Jewish Voter Resource Center released the results of a survey just a few days ago which found that nearly half of Jewish voters said right-wing individuals and groups were a bigger threat in terms of antisemitism, while 34% viewed left-wing groups as a bigger problem. Clearly a big divide. A few weeks ago, ADL New York/New Jersey held a webinar which focused on just this issue by hosting a webinar entitled, “Is Antisemitism Worse on the Right or the Left?” The host for this podcast, Scott Richman, interviewed Oren Segal about his thoughts on this issue. Oren is the Senior Vice President for Counter Extremism and Intelligence. It was a rich and engaging conversation, and it is now being released as a podcast.
This conversation was originally recorded as a webinar in late February 2025.
