NYPD reports 214-percent increase in anti-Jewish hate crimes amid Israel-Hamas war
- The rise in antisemitic hate crimes in New York City is attributed to public anger over Israel's response to the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack. Israel's military actions in retaliation caused a surge in antisemitic incidents, with a 214% increase in hate crimes targeting Jews in October 2023 compared to the same period last year.
- The Anti-Defamation League reported a significant spike of 388% in antisemitic incidents during the first two weeks after the initial attack on Israel, documenting 312 incidents during that period. However, Jewish security groups believe many incidents go unreported.
- Hate crimes targeting other groups also saw an increase, with anti-Muslim incidents rising from zero in October 2022 to eight in October 2023, while anti-Black incidents increased from one to four in the same period.
