Yet the media focus has been and will continue to be on “Islamophobia” much more than on anti-Semitism. Now, why is that?
“Hate crimes in US rise to highest level in 12 years, says FBI report,” by Maya Yang, Guardian, August 31, 2021:
Hate crimes in the US have risen to the highest level in 12 years, triggered largely by a surge in assaults on Black and Asian Americans, according to a FBI report.
The 2020 data, submitted to the FBI by more than 15,000 state and local police agencies, identified 7,759 hate crimes, a 6% increase on 2019 and the highest number since 2008. Since 2014, hate crimes have risen by 42%.
Anti-Black assaults increased from 1,930 to 2,755, a 40% increase on 2019. Anti-Asian assaults rose from 158 to 274, a 70% jump. Attacks targeting white people were up 16%, at 773.
Of 6,576 offenders recorded, 55% were white, 20% Black, 16% unknown, 6% of multiple races and 1% Asian.
Anti-Muslim and anti-Jewish hate crimes decreased by 42% and 30%, respectively….
“Jews ‘most targeted’ for religious hate in the United States, FBI says,” by Michael Daventry, Times of Israel, September 1, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
Hate crimes against Jews made up the heavy majority of all religion-based incidents reported in the United States last year, new figures have revealed.
Jews accounted for nearly 60% of all religion-based reports in 2020, according to the FBI.
There were 676 incidents targeting the Jewish community, a drop from 953 in 2019, accounting for 57.5% of all religious bias crimes.
But while the figures were a decrease on the previous year, monitoring groups warned this was driven by a sharp drop in the number of law enforcement agencies declaring their figures.
“The fact that American Jews—who make up no more than 2% of the U.S. population—are the targets of nearly 60% of religious bias crimes should set off alarm bells,” said David Harris from the American Jewish Committee.
“AJC’s 2020 State of Antisemitism in America report revealed that an astounding 88% of American Jews are concerned about Jew-hatred in the United States – and the latest FBI hate crime statistics illustrate exactly why.”
But despite fewer US agencies reporting their figures, the number of race-based hate crimes rose at their highest rate in 12 years.
The number of reported hate crimes targeting Black people rose to 2,755 in 2020, from 1,930 in the previous year….

I am sorry but I don’t believe these numbers from the FBI as I don’t trust them. They have been reconstructed into a political arm of the communists. When the Biden administration says that the number one targets of interest are far right white supremacist groups without any proof, how is anyone to trust them. Also, it seems that when a person of Latin descent commits a crime, the government considers it white on white but when a white commits a crime against a person of Latin descent, it is considered white on Latin.
When large cities don’t permit their police to arrest many of the perpetrators of these incidents of Muslim on the Jewish community, only a fool believes the FBI numbers.

@ Ray
Am with Ray and agree fully with you, well said.

Ray, what possible reason could the FBI have for saying that there were more crimes against Jews and that crimes against Muslims were down if this was false?
Ray Jarman says
G.I., It is the percentages and the actual numbers. When so many crimes, especially against the Jewish population, are not even prosecuted as has been shown here after the Israelis beat Hamas and their allies. I had a very good friend was one of the agents that chased down the blind shek from Washington through Oregan and who just died a few months ago from cancer was ashamed of the bureau under Comey and Wray.

Heather McDonald has said that there are twice as many black on white attacks as vice versa. I would believe her before I would believe the FBI. This is the same FBI that told us that Trump colluded with Russia. This is the same FBI that Obama used target Michael Flynn.

Terry, I still see no reason to believe that the FBI is lying about attacks on Muslims being down, nor on the prevalence of attacks on Jews. This doesn’t fit any leftist narrative.
Westman says
What are the standards for “hate crime” reporting? Do these statistics only represent convictions or do they include allegations that ended in exonerations or unidentified perpetrators where no charges were ever made?
How about “Black looters burned down my business.” (while I actually set the fire to recover from a failing business)?
If a white landlord kicks out a black family who won’t pay rent and the family claims a fake hate crime in revenge, does it count?
Citing racial hate crime statistics that do not include the percentage those crimes represent of that specific group have no real meaning for comparison between groups.
There is no question that Jews are the most persecuted people. Proof:
Reported hate crime on blacks – 2755. Divide that by 13% of the population to get the hate crime rate per person . Interestingly, the black population has dropped since the 1960s from 18% to today’s 13%. Why?
US Population aprox = 330million.
Hate crime on Blacks/person = 2755/(.13 x 330million) = .0000642 per person or 64 per million Blacks.
Hate crime on Jews/person = 676/.02 x 330million) = .000102 per person or 102 per million Jews.
Ratio of hate crime rates Jews/Blacks = 102/ 64 = 1.59
Check, without reference to US Pop : (676/.02)/(2755/.13) = (676 x.13)/(2755 x .02) = 1.59
If a Jew, your chance of experiencing a hate crime in the US is 1.6 times higher than for Blacks.

Before you brace yourself for this rise in white nationalism and increasing hostility toward minorities, let’s put these numbers into perspective. The Department of Justice warns every year not to make year-to-year comparisons of the number of “hate” crimes, and every year, the media make them anyway.
Comparisons are meaningless because data come from local police agencies, which can file reports or not as they choose.
There are 17,985 police agencies in the United States, and 2,849 did not bother to file a hate-crimes report in 2020. Sixty-four jurisdictions with populations greater than 100,000 that did file found no hate crimes at all.
Departments are inconsistent. In March, Robert Long killed eight people—six of them Asians—at massage parlors in two different counties in Georgia. In Cherokee County, the prosecutor found no anti-Asian bias and did not file hate-crime charges. Fulton County did claim to have detected bias, and will add hate-crime charges. Asians just knew it was hate and demanded hate-crime charges.
All 35,000 FBI agents will get special training this year in how to sniff out hate, and the DOJ will begin “a nationwide anti-hate, multi-media advertising campaign” to persuade victims to call the police. The pressure is on, so we will probably see more “hate crimes” with, needless to say, emphasis on white perps.
It is therefore amusing to note that in 1997, at a time when far fewer police agencies (11,211 vs 15,136 in 2020) were reporting and population growth had yet to add another 58.5 million potential hate-criminals, the FBI tracked down 9,861 hate crimes, or 1,602 more than the 7,752 in 2020 that we are supposed to be fretting about. This was also before the discovery of several new types of hate crimes unknown in 1997 (anti-transexual, anti-male, anti-female, anti-gender-nonconforming) that added 307 cases to the 2020 tally. And it was long before Donald Trump or Black Lives Matter, and 24 years before Merrick Garland discovered that white supremacists are the country’s top domestic terror threat.
So, with the understanding that these numbers don’t mean much, let’s look at them anyway.

This is all political. Hate crimes against Jew don’t fit the narrative, but against Muslims it does. Few care about the truth.
