Anti-Semitic incidents are surging across the U.S. Here are the numbers

LA Times  

A person stands in front of Stars of David that are displayed in front of the Tree of Life Synagogue with the names of those killed in Pittsburgh. “We’re not necessarily seeing a historic rise in anti-Semitism when you zoom out,” said Brian Levin, director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at Cal State San Bernardino. It defines a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.” Hate crimes targeting Jews peaked at 1,013 in 2008 and declined to a low of 609 in 2014. Not anymore.” The Anti-Defamation League and other civil rights groups have pointed out that the steep rise in anti-Semitic incidents corresponds to President Trump’s rise to power and blame him for fueling anti-Jewish sentiment. A Pew Research Center survey last year found that of all major U.S. religious groups, Americans gave Jewish people the highest favorability ratings.
