[IsraelTimes] Jews were targeted in 28 hate crimes in New York City last month, far more than any other group, the NYPD says.Because there's no hate in black-on-black crime?
The figure amounts to 68% of the 41 total hate crimes reported to police last month.
The total antisemitic incidents for February is twice the amount reported to police during the same period last year.
Jews are consistently targeted in hate crimes in the city more than any other group, and last year were targeted more than all other groups combined.
Roughly 12% of New York City’s population is Jewish.
Last month, Asians were targeted once, four incidents targeted Black people, two were against other ethnicities, three against Muslims, and two hate crimes were based on sexual orientation.
The figures are preliminary and subject to change if, for example, a crime that appeared to be discriminatory turns out to have had another motivation.
Jewish security personnel say many antisemitic hate crimes likely go unreported to police.
