The New York Police Department said it has seen a dramatic rise in hate crimes following the election of Donald Trump, with the majority of incidents directed at Jews.
There has been a 115 percent increase in bias crimes in New York City following Election Day, with Jews being targeted in 24 of the 43 incidents during that nearly monthlong period. The anti-Semitic incidents represented a threefold increase from November 2015, The New York Observer reported.
In total, hate crimes have increased 35 percent from 2015, the NYPD's chief of detectives, Robert Boyce, said Monday morning.
"We had a huge spike right after Election Day, it’s somewhat slowed a little bit,” Boyce said. “We’re seeing across the board an increase right now.”
Besides Jews, other targeted groups included Muslims, whites and the LGBTQ community, according to Boyce.
JTA has reported on anti-Semitic incidents following the election, including acts of vandalism featuring swastikas and Trump-related themes left in public areas as well as on the homes of Jewish individuals.
Last week, the watchdog Southern Poverty Law Center said it had received reports of 100 anti-Semitic incidents occurring in the 10 days following the presidential election, representing about 12 percent of hate incidents reported to the group... The head of the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, said recently that anti-Jewish public and political discourse in America is worse than at any point since the 1930s.
The election season saw the rise of the “alt-right,” a loose far-right movement whose followers traffic variously in white nationalism, anti-immigration sentiment, anti-Semitism and a disdain for “political correctness.”
Many alt-right members, including prominent white nationalists, have been vocal in their support of Trump, ...
The president-elect said recently that he did not want to “energize” white supremacists and denounced an alt-right conference in Washington, D.C....

I.e. they’re seeing the temperature of internal discord in anti-Trump groups now, and tying that to Trump.
Saying anyone in the ‘Alt-Right’ is a white supremacist, is like saying anyone who supports Obama is in the Black Panthers. Total bs.
This will be used to create a list of fake news sites and censor conservative speech. Trump needs to get on this day 1.
Fake News!
That, plus the fact that they simply can’t get their brain around the idea that non-whites can be bigoted, too. They’re stuck in Mississippi, circa 1963.
Trump has a Jewish daughter and son-in-law, so why would he want people to attack them?
Don’t they mean “alleged” hate crimes?
Forty-three incidents during a month in a city of more than 8 million. Not very many, but that won't stop the left from acting as if the entire nation is on fire with hate crimes.
And they don't tell us the ethnicity of the perpetrators that might be known.
Wow, those anti-Zionist lefties and radical Islamists are a hateful lot. I guess Donald Trump had better hire more security for his Jewish daughter, son-in-law and grandchild, then.
In sad fact, the bigotry was often SOLD to these nonwhites, by lefties. Oh look at poor downtrodden you! Your great great grandparents were slaves, how could you possibly be free? And these nonwhites BELIEVE it. If they looked at even a SMATTERING of actual HISTORY... they would see that’s a colossal LIE!
GRRRRRR! I could proverbially WRING these lefties’ necks!!
I’m for an everybody-should-be-a-redneck philosophy though.
That doesn’t care what color you really are, or whether you were actually born or even live in a city or in the sticks. Just suggesting a worldview.
Donald Trump would be one of the biggest crypto-rednecks around.
More Soros bird dogging.
Yep
“Up 115%” sounds scary but... How many incidents, actual numbers are we talking about? When you are working with small numbers, a change of just a few can result in large percentages. That’s why people love them, they are easy to use to distort the real picture.
I guess you mean the events, not my comment....
Yeah. You had one last year, now you have two this year. It’s up 100%!
Puh-leeze.
Yes, and Trump is pro-Israel, while Obama hates them like the gutless Nazi Muzzy he is.
THAT's who is threatening Jews...those on the left and those from dog-s--t Muslemland.
.. guess you mean the events, not my comment.......
