While Islamic supremacists and their left elite media lapdogs pimp the islamophobia narrative, reality is far different. Jewish Americans have been the victim of the majority of religiously motivated hate crimes continuously since 1996, the earliest year for which the FBI has reported statistics. The number of hate crimes targeting Jews have increased year-on-year for the past two years. 2015 saw a 9 percent increase over the preceding year, and 2016’s 20 percent bump confirms this change in trend. Anti-Jewish bias continued to lead in hate crime offenses, accounting for 54.4 percent of cases.
Hate Crimes Targeting Jews Rise for Second Year in a Row
As some on left question seriousness of anti-Semitism, targeting of Jews remains high

More than half of hate crimes motivated by bias against a particular religion in 2016 were aimed at Jewish Americans even though Jewish Americans constitute just two percent of the population, according to a new FBI report.
The hate crime rate come from the FBI’s report, “Hate Crime Statistics, 2016,” the latest release from its Uniform Crime Reporting system. The overall report shows a five percent increase in hate crimes between 2015 and 2016.
Hate crimes targeted at Jewish Americans, meanwhile, increased by 20 percent in that same time period. The number of victims affected by those crimes also rose, by 17.9 percent. Hate crimes targeting Jews accounted for around 11 percent of 2016 hate crimes overall.
Jewish Americans have bee the victim of the majority of religiously motivated hate crimes continuously since 1996, the earliest year for which the FBI has reported statistics. The number of offenses in 2016—833—is notably lower than those through the first ten years of reporting, which averaged more than a thousand offenses per year.However, the number of hate crimes targeting Jews have increased year-on-year for the past two years. This represents a deviation from past trend, as said crimes decreased continually between 2008 and 2014. 2015 saw a 9 percent increase over the preceding year, and 2016’s 20 percent bump confirms this change in trend.
Although 2016 levels remain below the historical average, this two-year increase may signal a concerning increase in targeting of America’s Jews. It should be noted that violent crimes also reversed trend over the same two-year period.
Jonathan A. Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), called the two-year increase “deeply disturbing,” and called for “improving hate crime data collection, advocating for better hate crime legislation, and working closely with law enforcement on hate crime training” to address the rise.
The majority of hate crimes targeting Jews were non-violent. Thirty-seven percent of the crimes were targeted against individuals, the overwhelming majority of which were instances of intimidation. There were also 61 instances of simple assault, and 12 of aggravated assault.
The remaining 63 percent of the crimes were crimes against property. These were by-and-large instances of vandalism/destruction of property: 489 out of the 522 crimes against property.
These property crimes contribute to an overall sense of a targeting of Jewish community gathering places. Threats against synagogues and Jewish community centers have caused concern among many Americans. More than a hundred community centers have dealt with bomb threats, CNN reported in March. That wave of threats led eventually to the arrest of two men, including former Intercept journalist Juan Thompson.
Congress is considering H.R. 1730, the Combating Anti-Semitism Act of 2017, in response to the threats. That bill would increase criminal penalties for targeting religious buildings. The Muslim Jewish Advisory Council (MJAC), a joint project of the American Jewish Committee and the Islamic Society of North America, applauded H.R. 1730 in its response to the new hate crime numbers.
“We look forward to this bill’s adoption by the Congress in order to send a signal of zero tolerance for hate crimes against people of faith,” said Stanley Bergman, co-chair of the Council.
“The Department of Justice should increase its coordination with the states in public education and community relations, as well as in prosecutions and reporting of hate crimes,” said Co-Chair Farooq Kathwari.
As Bergman, Kathwari, and Congress all express concern about rising hate crimes against Jewish Americans, anti-Semitism is receiving a different hearing among some partisans on the left. Later this month, the New School in New York City will host Linda Sarsour, women’s march organizer and controversial activist for a talk on “Antisemitism and the Struggle for Justice.”
Sarsour may argue at the event that anti-Semitism is more often a charge used to silence than to name real problems. “When anti-Semitism is redefined as criticism of Israel,” the event’s description reads, “critics of Israeli policy become accused and targeted more than the growing far-right.”
Sarsour has a history of comments that critics have derided as anti-Semitic, the Free Beacon has noted:
Sarsour is one such critic of Israel who has made a variety of comments that detractors have accused of being anti-Semitic, including praising children who throw rocks at Israeli soldiers and defending former Palestinian terrorist Rasmea Odeh. She has also called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “waste of a human being,” said that “nothing is creepier than Zionism,” and argued that Zionists cannot be feminists.
This past month has also seen an increase in activity by the Boycott, Divest, and Sanction (BDS), an organization which calls for economic political action against Israel. Organizations like the ADL have attacked BDS as employing anti-Semitic strategies and rhetoric.

What a surprise, more muslims, more crimes against Jews. The qur’an clearly states that muslims must kill all Jews, these crimes are part of the criminally insane mindset of muslims. When will the qur’an be acknowledged by society as the hate literature that it is?

True.
Wonder what statistics the FBI keeps on anti-Christian crimes?
The increase in miso-Judaic behavior will continue as long as the administration, spearheaded by the US Department of Snake (Tillerson & Co.) continue with plans to get a Two State peace, come, hell, high water or broods of vipers: Matthew 23:33..

Very unlikely there is any official concern about crimes against anyone but muslims.

Probably the FingBI does not consider any actions towards Christians and Patriots as a crime.
They probably collude and deem it subject control.

They have been indoctrinated that Christians are terrorists like Al-Qaeda, and that patriots are far-right whack jobs, both standing in the way of the GHW Bush and Kissinger model/concept of New World Order.

Do you think nothing short of a shooting war will rid the United States of communists, mulims and illegal aliens?
Or, do you think blogs and talking will do it?

First come the blogs to get like minded people together, then actions can be planned ‘under the radar’ (in other ways other than on line)..From this other groups can be formed.. Slowly the resistance will build.. Also start studying how the resistance operated in Europe during WW2

Unfortunately, it appears that the former is more possible than the latter. My great grand father fought in the first revolutionary war, I guess it would be my duty to come south and help out again

Bingo, and ironically those self same elites that you mention are disproportionately comprised of… Jews. Oddly, the SPLC and other organisations that can be categorised as Organised Jewry, all agitate and promote this mass islamic immigration. They have done right across the western world since the 1950’s. Perhaps it is their plan to drive the rest of the Jewish diaspora out of the west and into Israel, by making life unworkable for them in the newly Islamised west?

Hate Crimes Data: Not What You Think…
FBI hate crime data shows little change in the number of crimes, but significant changes in race of offenders.
Since the election of Donald Trump, the Demo/MSM insists that he is the inspiration for hatred, all the talk of America being a society steeped in “white privilege” and racist nationalism. Thus, one might expect to see hate crime statistics support such claims. But they imply just the opposite.
The FBI has released its “hate crimes” data for the year 2016. Now, as we have argued in the past, the designation of “hate crime” injects a rather subjective standard into motivating factors for crime and it’s often used to artificially increase the level of guilt beyond the actual criminal act. Often hate crimes are not recorded as such because they are black on white. Moreover, leftist “social justice warriors” implicate the criminal’s entire social, religious or racial group, so long as it’s white or Christian. But for the sake of argument, let’s accept the FBI’s designation and look at some things.
According to the data, over the past decade the total number of reported hate crimes has changed very little, with anti-black crimes remaining the highest reported percentage at 50.2%. However, over that same period there has been a significant shift in the percentage of white offenders. In 2007 — before the Age of Hope ‘n’ Change™ — nearly 63% of all known offenders were white; by 2016 and the rise of that big “hater” Donald Trump, that percentage had dropped to 46.3%. (That is bad news for the hate hustling profiteers.) And while the percentage of white offenders has decreased, the percentage of anti-white crime saw an increase in 2016 to 20.5%, the highest level recorded since 2006.
It’s not surprising to see an uptick in the number of anti-white hate crimes, since those who have been widely demonized by politically motivated leftists will tend to see a greater backlash against them by other groups who feel newly justified in their anger. Notably, the number of hate-crime hoaxes is also on the rise…
Finally, one interesting stat not noted by the FBI were the number of crimes committed against politicians, particularly of the Republican variety. With all the rhetoric about Trump and Republicans supposedly fomenting hatred, it was Republicans who were violently attacked this past year, specifically when a Bernie Sanders-supporting leftist targeted and shot GOP House members practicing for a baseball game. And more recently there is Sen. Rand Paul, who is sporting six broken ribs after a blindside attack at the hands of his leftist neighbor. Are we the only ones detecting a pattern here?

Hate crimes are a natural action of the muslim scum. Muslims MUST be purged from the United States. If not, they will kill and breed Americans out of existence. Look at the American women and girls that run to blacks, muslims and illegal aliens. Insanity is being programmed into our children in public schools which are filled with communism, hate and lies.

I’ve noticed that in in the West, generally speaking, conservatives seem to sympathize more with Jews, while liberals seem to sympathize more with Muslims.

Wow, who could have guessed that out come. With so many innocent refugees coming in from the middle east you would have thought that they would have given up the hatred for Jews when they came to the US. LOL, isn’t that what they’re told when they come into the country?????

I have no trust in F-I_B statistics. As the old saw goes: “There are lies, damn lies and statistics”.
As muslums come to dominate the Islamic Puppet States of N. America hate crimes against Jews are only going to get worse and more numerous.

I just heard on the news that white supremacists are the only ones who ever commit crimes anymore.
