On November 28, 2004 Haaretz News reported, "the good news is that anti-Semitism in the United States is not on the rise. The bad news is that it is not waning. This week, the American Justice Department released the Federal Bureau of Investigations' annual Hate Crimes Statistics for 2003, which summarizes reports from throughout the U.S. on crimes against individuals based on their racial, ethnic or religious affiliation, sexual orientation or nationality. The report reinforces the findings of other studies on crimes against Jews in the U.S., which indicate a steady level of anti-Semitic violence, unaffected by external events and unchanged by the establishment's efforts to reduce it."
