Elder of ZiyonNot all cities have up to date hate crimes databases, but most of the ones that do show that the number of hate crimes against Jews has been exploding in most major cities.
The NYPD hate crimes database shows a huge increase in antisemitic crimes since October 7. This graphic shows the proportion of anti-Jewish hate crimes compared to all others combined, per month, in 2023.
In Los Angeles, 90% of the anti-religious hate crimes in 2023 were anti-Jewish. And after only two months of 2024, it is clear that this year will smash last year's records for antisemitic hate.
In Chicago, hate crimes against Jews soared in 2023, and already in 2024 there are half as many as in all of 2023.
In Portland, anti-Jewish hate crimes dwarfed that of all other anti-religious hate crimes, with a spike in the fourth quarter (although the third quarter was also very bad.)
Antisemitic hate crimes are an order of magnitude more prevalent than anti-Islamic and anti-Arab hate crimes in all these cities.
If anti-Zionism is not related to antisemitism, then what else can possibly account for these huge increases in hate crimes in the fourth quarter of 2023?
And if "progressive" Americans are as much against antisemitism as they claim, then why aren't they protesting this giant rise of antisemitic crimes the way they protest racism and sexism?
