Attacks On Jews Around the World

[Sixties Fan]

The FBI released its 2020 hate crime statistics report.

As with every year, anti-Jewish crimes dwarfs every other anti-religious crime, with anti-Muslim crimes coming in a distant second..


There were 951 reported anti-Jewish crimes - compared with 134 anti-Muslim hate crimes.

Anti-Jewish hate crimes were 57.5% of all anti-religious crimes.

Digging deeper into the statistics, comparing antisemitic and anti-Muslim hate crimes, we see that the crimes against Jews were also violent. 60 cases of simple assault (vs. 35 for Muslims), 34 for aggravated assault (vs. 12 for Muslims, ) and 507 for destruction of property (vs. 26 for Muslims.)

Google News coverage for 2020 shows slightly more results for "anti-Muslim hate crime" than for "anti-Jewish hate crime." Only in 2021 did the media seem to finally notice anti-Jewish crimes as the high-profile assaults of Jews during the Gaza war - which is truly maddening, because in 2020 there were numerous violent antisemitic crimes against religious Jews especially in Brooklyn that the media roundly ignored.

UPDATE: Adam Levick points out to me a recent study in INSS about how the media disregarded Black antisemitism in 2020:

The media discourse focused on antisemitism within the Black community at two main points during 2020: in January, following the violent attacks in New Jersey and New York, which were carried out by African Americans, and in May and June, following the murder of George Floyd, which resulted in demonstrations throughout the country (see Figure 7). The Israeli media in Hebrew and English and the Jewish media (see, for example, Oster, 2020b) reported extensively on vandalism of synagogues in some of these demonstrations; in contrast, the national media did not report on the antisemitic incidents related to the demonstrations at all.

COVID affected crime rates. Anti-Muslim hate crime plummeted by 44% compared to 2019. But the Jew-haters still find ways to attack Jews - antisemitic hate crime only decreased by 13%.

Antisemitic hate crimes remained very high in COVID 2020, and the media still downplayed them (UPDATE)

People all over the world are mugged and beaten up daily regardless of religion or no religion. Do you think Jews are unique victims?

No. Jewish people are more successful as a percentage of their population then others. that means a lot of things. Pettiness, jealousy, inside attachments for a step up in life. But there is a difference between people who have faith and people who just do good deeds. A combination works better but it is not on the edge.

Canary Mission's 2021 investigation of SJP UIC has revealed disturbing levels of anti-Semitic activity as far back as 2015 in the following three categories:


1. A campaign to attack and malign Chicago’s largest Jewish charity



2. An effort to bully “Zionists”

3. Spreading anti-Semitism, support for terror and hatred of Israel on social media



This report exposes the actions of 32 SJP UIC activists whose individual profile links can be found below.
-------

• Shortly before their attack on JUF, SJP UIC began an effort to bully what they call “Zionists,” a word often used as a euphemism for Jews. While the effort did not expressly state its target as Jews on UIC’s campus, they would likely be the initial target of the local SJP chapter.
  
  On December 4, 2020, SJP Board Member Mona Zubi tweeted a photo of a small child hiding his face as others surrounded him, pointing fingers at him. Text on the image stated: “START ZIONIST SHAMING." Zubi further commented on the graphic saying: “and normalize it.”
  
  The image contained additional text as examples of recommended insults to hurl at “Zionists” such as: “ZIONISTS HAVE NO CULTURE,” “racist!” “COLONIZER!” “how are you sunburnt if you’re indigenous?,” “chocolate hummus looking a**,” “steal anyone’s land today?” and “GO BACK TO BROOKLYN.”
  --------
  Later that month, on December 11, 2020, SJP UIC posted the same photo on their Instagram account. SJP UIC added in a comment: “Here’s some memes to end your finals week .”
  
  Zubi doubled down three months later, tweeting a graphic on March 1, 2021, headlined: “START ZIONIST SHAMING Part 2,” with the comment “it’s my contribution to liberation!”
  
  The tweet contained a photo of another small child in a playground, hiding her face while a young boy bullied her and two other girls looked on. Text near the boy read: “how are you so dirty when u have access to more water than Palestinians? go shower.” Other text in the meme read: “invade any neighboring countries today?” “UNCULTURED!” and “why are you so scared of rocks?”
  ---------------

• Since Canary Mission began investigating and documenting anti-Semitism, we have exposed numerous examples of anti-Semitic individuals and activities in chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine. However, SJP’s UIC chapter was the first to make bullying a Jewish charity a core focus.
  
  SJP UIC’s campaign against Chicago’s Federation, JUF, was a precise attack, designed to malign and isolate a respected Jewish charity. Their effort to shame Chicago’s “Zionists” was nothing more than bullying; and with hundreds of hateful social media posts from their activists, the picture is clear that SJP UIC is a deeply anti-Semitic group whose aim is to make Chicago an unsafe space for Jews.
  
  
  While SJP UIC seeks the ways of hatred and intimidation, it is incumbent upon all of us to make sure that they are never allowed to succeed.

The head of Austria’s Jewish community has warned that antisemitism in the country is “skyrocketing,” citing the spread of COVID-19 conspiracy theories and vaccine refusal demonstrations as the main cause.

“I have seen the raw data,” Oskar Deutsch — president of the IKG, the communal body serving Austrian Jews — told the news outlet Profil on Saturday.

Deutsch noted that in April 2021, more than 100 antisemitic incidents targeting Jews in Austria were recorded, double the monthly average of the previous year. The same trend continued in May, he added, a month that saw renewed hostilities between Israel and the Hamas terrorist organization in Gaza and a related upswing in antisemitic outrages in the US and elsewhere in Europe.

Approximately 15,000 Jews live in Austria currently. The community was decimated during the Holocaust, when over 65,000 Austrian Jews were deported by the Nazis.

“The number of antisemitic incidents has skyrocketed in the first half of 2021,” Deutsch said. “The coronavirus pandemic has fueled conspiracy theories and antisemitism.”

Deutsch also criticized the police for not taking a tougher stance towards antisemitic protestors, even when slogans from the country’s Nazi past have been revived at demonstrations.

“The limit is reached when there are shouts of ‘Sieg Heil,'” Deutsch stated. “In this case, it is the job of the police to take punitive action. This is not a trivial offense.”

Hate crimes soared in the US in 2020. The data is in.. Most were against blacks and Asians.

Hate crimes soared in the US in 2020. The data is in.. Most were against blacks and Asians.

Thank you again for minimizing attacks on Jews the past 5 years.

Actually, it is not happening at all, it is all a figment of the Jew's imagination that campuses have stopped being a place of learning, and the main learning going on is about how Jews are horrible, criminal, etc and deserve being beaten, spat on, scared to death, etc, etc to the point where they are not welcome to return to those Universities .

How many Asians, Blacks or Muslims are being beaten at schools, having their culture delegitimized, being made to feel like criminals for something one people accuses another of doing?

How many Asians, Blacks or Muslims are having the history of the country their people came from being revised to the taste of those who want to see those countries cease to exist.

Each and every generalization you make on all the threads is as worthless as the next one, because each one is meant to delegitimize what is actually happening and why.

Lots of people competing for victim status these days including far right Christians.

Jews were given a country in 1948.. and continue to take more in Lebanon, Syria and the West Bank.

An Australian Jewish man who was brutally assaulted by a man yelling “Heil Hitler” as he walked with his 11-year-old son to a Bar Mitzvah at a synagogue in the city of Brisbane last Saturday has spoken out about his experience.

The 48-year-old victim, identified only as “Paul,” was approached by a man who noticed him wearing a kippah and began shouting “Heil Hitler” and making Nazi salutes.

As the man walked away, Paul followed behind him, tracking him with his cell phone video and asking him why he had uttered the Nazi slogan.

The man turned suddenly and began punching Paul, bruising him on his left cheek. As the assailant fled the scene, Paul shouted that he was calling the police


“At first, I didn’t realize what he was shouting, but when I looked into his eyes they were filled with hate towards me,” Paul told the Australian Jewish news outlet j-wire on Wednesday.

“I could feel his hatred directed at me right down into my bones. He punched me in the face and then just walked away,” he continued.

In a separate interview with Queensland broadcaster 9News, Paul’s 11-year-old son spoke about the assault on his father.

“It’s sad to see how this stuff happens in this modern society,” Paul’s son, who was not identified, said.

Asked by the interviewer why he chased after the offender, Paul responded that it was “important to stand up for what you believe in. The importance of standing up to hate against yourself and at other people.”
-------
“When Jews in Queensland are being targeted, abused and punched then something must be done as a matter of urgency,” Steinberg added. “The existing laws are clearly not strong enough to deter racist behavior — the likes of which we are hearing about on a weekly basis in Queensland.”

For what it’s worth I am a Christian and I am staunchly pro Israel.
And I will come to the aid of one if I witness an attack on them.
I am old so I will just use a knife on any attackers.

A survey by the group Alums for Campus Fairness (ACF) found that 95% of Jewish students recognize antisemitism as a problem on their campus, and three quarters of those respondents recognize it as a “very serious problem.”

It found that 46% of students personally heard offensive or threatening antisemitic comments
made in person by another student.

17% of Jewish students were physically threatened for being Jewish, and 27% more knew someone it happened to.

But what troubled me the most was that 27% of students said a faculty member or employee of their school made offensive or threatening antisemitic comments in person - and another 30% said they knew someone else who was the victim of those antisemitic comments.

Specific examples given are horrifying:
( See online)
------------------------

The survey found 79% of respondents had personally experienced an instance of antisemitism on campus in total, with the report saying Jewish students attending a state school as opposed to a more expensive private school are more likely to have been physically threatened themselves.

The survey did not mention Israel, but many students answering the open-ended part of the survey mentioned antisemitism masked as anti-Zionism along with the more traditional neo-Nazi type harassment.

More than 100 headstones were smashed at a Jewish cemetery in Argentina that had seen similar damage in 2009.

The vandalism at the Tablada Cemetery in the Buenos Aires area was discovered on Sunday, the Jewish news site Visavis reported.

The headstones were between the cemetery’s older section and the new one, which also contains the remains of dozens of victims from the 1994 terrorist bombing at the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires.

In 2009, unidentified individuals defaced more than 60 headstones, including victims of the 1994 bombing. That vandalism also happened shortly before Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, which this year began on Monday evening. AMIA called that vandalism antisemitic.
