Where are all these hate crimes?
There are no news articles about individual crimes, but there are hundreds of them happening?
Does it make sense that the Jews would keep it a secret if they were being attacked on the streets?
Where are the crimes?
New York hate crime reports have skyrocketed a record-shattering 69% since 2019 – largely due to raging antisemitism, according to a sobering analysis released Wednesday by state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli.
Hate crimes against Jews surged statewide by 89% — from 253 incidents in 2018 to a whopping 477 incidents in 2023 while anti-Muslim incidents soared 106%, from 18 to 37 incidents, the report said.
A whopping 477.
I’m just glad it isn’t a whooping 477.
Some 44% of all recorded hate crime incidents and 88% of religious-based hate crimes recorded statewide last year targeted Jewish victims amid the raging Israel-Hamas war in Gaza — the largest share of all such crimes.
“The data compiled by the comptroller’s office reaffirms what Jewish New Yorkers are unfortunately experiencing all too often in the community,” said Mark Treyger, CEO of the Jewish Community Relations Council.
The report was “very serious and sobering,” he added.
The 1,089 overall hate incidents reported last year is the highest ever recorded since annual reporting became a requirement in 2000, the report said.
New York City data show about 58% of all 669 hate crime incidents in 2023 were committed against a person rather than property.
So 42% of these “hate crimes” are vandalism?
One-third of the incidents were egregious enough to be felonies — including 72 felony assaults, nearly half against Jews or gay males, according to the analysis.
Incidents against Jews accounted for an eye-popping 65% of all felony hate crime incidents in the Big Apple in 2023, DiNapoli said.
If people are being attacked – if there are felony assaults on people because they are Jewish – why is that not in the news?
Typically, when you break down one of these reports, you find that most of the “incidents” involve someone saying something mean to a Jew on the internet. But if they are claiming 72 felony assaults – where are they?
