[IsraelTimes] The NYPD reports 19 antisemitic hate crimes in the city last month, a slight increase over the same period last year.
Antisemitic hate crimes in the city have been trending downward in recent months. While August’s total is an increase over the previous year, the number is antisemitic incidents is far lower than earlier in the Gaza war. In November 2023, there were 69 antisemitic incidents reported to police.
Jews are still targeted more than all other groups combined in the city nearly every month. The number of antisemitic incidents in the city in August amounts to 56% of the 34 total hate crimes in the city.
The decrease in antisemitic hate crimes comes amid a broader downturn in major crimes in the city. |
