Anti-Semitic incidents rose by 22 percent from last year, NYPD figures show, according to a report Wednesday on Patch. Of the 352 hate crimes this year recorded as of Sunday, 183 were anti-Semitic incidents. Brooklyn has seen a spate of hate crimes against Jews in recent months, but the Patch report did not break down the figures by boroughs.
Overall, the tally of hate crimes in New York is up about 6 percent from 331 in the same time last year.
Evan Bernstein, the Anti-Defamation League’s New York Regional director, told Patch that those holding anti-Semitic beliefs are feeling emboldened. ADL believes that 12 to 14 percent of Americans hold such beliefs.
The Oct. 27 slaying of 11 worshippers at a Pittsburgh synagogue by a lone gunman unleashed a spate of incidents in New York and “opened up people even more to act out on these feelings,” Bernstein said. “I think for certain people it gave them (a) green light and that’s what is so concerning.”
The ADL has recorded a 60 percent increase in anti-Semitic assaults this year, according to Bernstein.
Crimes targeting black, white and Asian people also have increased this year, as have those based on sexual orientation, the NYPD figures show. Those categories combined still include fewer crimes than the number of anti-Semitic incidents.
Anti-Muslim incidents dropped by nearly half, according to the same figures. There have been 18 this year, down from 34 last year and 31 in 2016.
thank you Trump
And this is with the NYPD trying to avoid the hate crime charge whenever they can.
The article should state New York CITY. Using just NY and NYPD may be confusing to those from “out of town”.
how could this be in anti-Trump NYC, where crime is “falling”. and this is the stuff that’s actually reported we all know the NYPD is always downgrading and unreporting crimes.
8 years of Obama and yiden were safe in the USA.
“Anti muslim incidents dropped” Not surprised. Trumps best friends are the Saudis Turkey etc.
The Jews win again!
‘We’re going to win so much, you’re going to be so sick and tired of winning’
What is important to teh Real Educated Jews is that the Embassy is in Jerusalem. Hate crimes and Pittsburgh MAGA-Massacre not so much.
And this is with many more unreported events
Herr Trumpf will sell Israel down the river just like he did the Kurds and our NATO allies, just to get hotel deals in Russia, Saudi and Turkey. His pro-nazi attraction is manifest in the global alt-antisemitism he’s unleashed. What a rasha he is. FEH.
jews were hated for thousands of years long before trump was born
To #10 - What a schmeggegi YOU are! FEH!!
hasomer. You are one disgusting vile creature this has nothing to do with trump and You know it. You liberals are so full of hate its disgusting. For the 8 wasted years of Obama no Republican or conservative said half the negative you low class say about the greatest president TRUMP. Mark my words with all the negative and hate TRUMP will easily win a 2nd term.
MAGA…..
Not a single antisemitic attack in NYC is linked to white supremacist because the attackers are muslim Jew haters and anti Israel leftist Jew haters all democrat scum
The goyim only feel sorry for us, when we are victims. I’d like to know which church groups in the USA, issued offical condemnations after the Pittsburgh Shul massacre? Did the Catholic diocese issue a statement? What about other church groups? The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution 435-0 condemning that horrible act. What other groups issued proclamations? Even Machmud Abbas issued such a proclamation; what other countries did so? Last, it should be noted that only one newspaper in the USA (the Pittsburgh Gazette), had the Kaddish prayer in Hebrew, printed on its front page. No other newspaper in the world did that.
