NEW: Hate Crimes Report by @AmericansAA & @IsraelBitton finally confirms what we've long known anecdotally:
94% of Anti-Jewish Assaults in New York City (2018–2022) Were Against Orthodox Jews; and
97% Were Perpetrated By Other Minorities.

There’s a lot of talk about the high rates of antisemitic hate crimes. The problem is that hate crime reporting tends to condense assaults, vandalism, and verbal abuse.
What is much more useful is focusing on actual assaults to see where the danger lies.
Dov Hikind and Americans for Antisemitism broke down a number of the assaults on Jews in New York City, which is the epicenter of antisemitic violence, and the results are revealing.
The project documented 194 cases of anti-Jewish assaults in NYC between April 2018 and August 2022, with the perps’ group identities documented in 99 of those assaults. According to the report’s data, 64% of the assaults were committed by black individuals, 17% by Asians (Muslim/Arab), 10% by Hispanics, and 3% by white individuals.
The 17% attacks by Arab Muslims is a striking statistic. The fact that the majority of the attacks came from black perpetrators, many of them teenagers operating in packs, is completely unsurprising. Polar bear hunting, knockout games and more specific antisemitic violence is a routine reality there. It’s one that we can’t talk about but is nonetheless something that everyone who has actual neighborhood experience knows. (That excludes the LIRR commuters who work for the media and then tweet grinning selfies in Manhattan denying that crime is a problem.)
The Muslim numbers are more interesting. Obviously Muslim violence like this has been a constant in Europe, but this suggests that Muslim demographics in New York City have accelerated so fast that it’s starting to parallel Europe.
We’re still dealing with 16 attacks or so. But that’s not insignificant and yet it hasn’t really been discussed,
The vast majority of the attacks targeted Orthodox Jews, and visible ones, largely Chassidic and ‘Haredi’, who tend to dress in a very distinctive fashion. One reason the trend has hardly been discussed in the media is that it tends to have a minimal impact even on Modern Orthodox, let alone more secular groups who also tend to live in less diverse areas and be less noticeably Jewish.
(Whoopi Goldberg may want to take notes about how well racist attackers can find Jews.)
“Most shocking: of the 194 documented assaults, the Hate Crimes Accountability Project found just 2 cases where a perpetrator was sentenced to prison. Most faced no consequences at all.”
That is generally true in NY’s pro-crime environment now. Period.
Good use of statistics.
I remember I had already worked out a theory of using clothes as a means of misleading street attackers back in the 1960s or 1970s.
You know, I think this peculiar black animus against Jews is the result of all those black supremacist groups like the Black Panthers back in the 60s and 70s, many of which picked up on islamic themes. I had a friend who went to Berkeley like you and he said they creeped (not crept) around the campus regularly to pass out pamphlets and intimidate students. Many of the pamphlets were rabidly anti Semitic, with illustrations of pimply faced and hook nosed Jews evicting po’ black children from their supposed tenements on the covers
I wonder if that evil is the cause of this sub cultural thing for blacks? I think it is. It didn’t exist before then.
What do you think? I bet you remember those scumbags when you attended Berkeley, too. None of them were students, of course. Back then students had to EARN their way into universities and colleges.
He also said that the descriptions of the numerous rapists was always the same: “he was black and ran really fast.”
Yeah, I remember that. Their slogan of the day was “Black is Beautiful.” Berkeley was the hotbed of that stuff.
That reminds me of a saying we had as kids because we hated racial supremacism. “if black is beautiful, I just laid a masterpiece.” (In the toilet.)
Oh that reminded me of Lewis, one of my favorite stories. I used to shop for groceries at a store called “Wholly Foods”, on Dwight and Shattuck I think. Lewis was a handsome, nicely built black guy, clean, well-groomed, very nice guy, the assistant store manager. One day the store owner came to me, practically crying, and said to me “Lewis absconded with $70,000”.
ooops, Ashby and Shattuck
The best defense is always a good offense.
Now that the terrorists are identified, it’s time to deliver some justice. In the only language that the criminals and terrorists understand.
Why in the name of Rabbi Meir Kahane is a new Jewish Defense League not springing up? Why don’t Charedi Jews travel in groups, defended by a few young lions, perhaps armed with baseball bats, hammers, pipe wrenches, or other handy ad-hoc weapons and ready to use them at the slightest provocation? The Satmars have a reputation for having some hot-headed young men; perhaps they can be put to work defending Jews of their own and other sects. Yes, even Lubavichers. This problem is far too serious to let sectarian pettiness intrude. The predators understand only one thing: Force. Make Jewish blood too costly for them and they will stop seeking it. And never, never, travel alone, especially if elderly.
Good point it’s better if people listen and take action
Don’t just complain and talk
That’s a good idea. It’s impossible to never travel alone but otherwise it’s sound.
For a man, traveling alone is not so bad, just keep aware of the surroundings, and carry a walking stick 🙂
And here I was given to understand by (former) Mayor DeBlasio that the attackers were mostly white supremacists.
Maybe they’re all white guys wearing black face makeup with fro wigs?
Out of nearly 200 attacks on Jews in NYC only 1% resulted in incarceration. Is New York’s judicial system antisemitic?
And most Jews will still vote Democrat, the party that encourages black and Muslim violence by not prosecuting it.
‘Notice the shifting vocabulary. ‘Asians’ is substituted for ‘Muslims’. East Asian Americans are required to have better scores to go to Harvard and are not told if they win academic awards. Now, by inference, Asian Americans are attacking Jews.
So, the FACTS show that a large majority of these attacks on Jews were by blacks, Muslims, and Hispanics, groups typically associated with the Democrat Party. But the MSM have tried to blame these attacks on Trump, Trump supporters, and “white supremacists.” Once again, media bias gives us the OPPOSITE of the truth.
My Democrat sister has recently been trying to associate Trump and Trump supporters (including me) with anti-Semitism, and this smear seems entirely based on the verbal antics and Kanye West and one or two other sketchy figures. But the real violence is coming from Democrat groups mostly in Democrat strongholds.
“64% of the assaults were committed by black individuals, 17% by Asians (Muslim/Arab)”
New York is about 20% black and 10% muslim – Obama ustacould use “punching above their weight” as a compliment, often when referring to a small, influential, non-failed country..
Why is President Biden allowing so many Arab Muslims to come to America? I Know, I know, it’s because we do not have enough crime and welfare cases and he wants America to become an Islamic country.
Since we are taking down so many statutes in America, maybe the Statute of Liberty should be included.
