The latest data on New York City hate crimes shows a surge, especially against Jewish New Yorkers.
The seven major crime categories all went down, hitting “historic lows for murders and shootings.”
But confirmed hate crimes went up 9.4%. From The New York Post:
Year to date, the number of confirmed hate crimes in the city jumped from 329 last year to 360, with 33 coming in July alone. More than half (56.9%) were anti-Jewish hate crimes, despite making up just 10% of New York City’s population.Hate crimes against Jewish New Yorkers so far this year have increased by 8.5% – 205 year-to-date compared to 189 for the same period last year.
The police confirmed 33 Jewish hate crimes in July alone.
The New York Post published the chart:
Elected officials and Jewish leaders have once again asked anti-Israel Mayor Zohran Mamdani to tone down his rhetoric.
On July 21, Mamdani admitted he couldn’t arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he visits NYC.
Mamdani filled the video with anti-Israel rhetoric, calling Netanyahu a war criminal and bashing Israel for its response against Hamas.
The mayor chose not to mention October 7. He never mentioned why Israel went to war against Hamas in Gaza. He never mentioned the thousands murdered, the hundreds kidnapped, or the hundreds of women raped.
Since he cannot arrest Netanyahu, Mamdani encouraged people to protest the prime minister when he attends the UN General Assembly in September.
“This is a city where, if anyone feels a level of frustration or opposition, protest is something that we will always respect,” Mamdani told a reporter.
Mamdani never said “peaceful” or “respectful” protest. Just protest.
A few days later, the police arrested a man for allegedly stabbing an Asian and Jewish man in two separate attacks.
Witnesses said the man yelled “Allahu Akbar” during both attacks.
