 But if they’re undercounting targetted Jews, they’re also undercounting targetted Christians, Asians, and whites. [IsraelTimes] Approximately 4,000 agencies do not participate in study, with 35 major US cities — including New York, Los Angeles and Miami — not submitting any data.
There were 7,262 hate crime incidents reported in 2021, the third-highest number in a decade.
Anti-Jewish hate crimes comprised the largest percentage of religion-based hate crimes, despite the fact that a number of jurisdictions with high rates of attacks and reporting were not included in the report.
The American Jewish Committee (AJC) said approximately 4,000 agencies had not transitioned to a new data collection system and as a result, 35 major US cities "simply reported zero hate crimes."
The Anti-Defamation League noted in a statement that there was a 22 percent decrease in the number of agencies reporting their data to the study, and that multiple large cities — including New York, Miami and Los Angeles, did not participate in the report.
The entire state of Florida and most of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, also were not included.
The watchdog said the data suggested that if more jurisdictions had reported their figures for antisemitic attacks, the report "likely would have shown record-high numbers."
The White House on Monday announced the establishment of an inter-agency committee aimed at combatting antisemitism, heeding calls from US politicians and leading American Jewish organizations who urged a "whole of government approach" to the intensifying phenomenon.
Oh goody. Another layer of bureaucracy to ignore the situation, because Progressives like to talk about it while making the problem worse.
