  1. [T]he first data from #Jewish respondents is “particularly alarming,” and suggested the numbers could be higher as many Jewish #civilservants are afraid to publicly identify as Jewish at the workplace.

    “The data that we are seeing today points to really high levels of #discrimination amongst those Jewish employees that feel comfortable in self-identifying. A lot of folks still hide their identity because they’re afraid,” Wilczynski explained.

    Since the #Oct7, 2023 #Hamas attacks, #antisemitism in #Canada has reached levels without precedent in the available data. #StatisticsCanada’s police-reported #hatecrime figures, released in July, show that #hatecrimes targeting #Jews jumped 82 percent in 2023, to 959 from 527 the year before. The count has since eased slightly—943 in 2024 and 788 in 2025—but Jews, who make up roughly 1 percent of the population, were the target of 70.7 percent of all religion-motivated hate crimes and 16.7 percent of the 4,708 hate crimes..."

  2. Jews were legally considered a separate race in the US through WW2. The 1987 S.C. decision in Shaare Tefila Congregation v. Cobb is based on it.

    All of my people's migration documents list their race as Hebrew. This isn't moving forward. I'm not saying it's good or bad. It's just not new.

    "The state of #California is poised to become the first in the nation to recognize being #Jewish as an #ethnic and #racial, not just a #religious, identity.

    On Aug. 13, a key committee of its state #Senate passed a bill that would add “Jewish” to its long list of recognized identities. This is an important step forward in a longstanding debate about whether that label denotes just a religion or is an #ethnicity or #race. As The #NewYorkTimes observes, it is “a first step toward acknowledging and demystifying the multifaceted nature of Jewish identity.”

    But it comes at a dangerous moment for #American #Jews, a moment of rising #antisemitism and anti-Jewish #hatecrimes."

  3. America hates Jewish, Muslim, and black Americans. Fact.

    "#FBI data released this week showed that #Jews were targeted in 1,528 hate crimes in the #US in 2025, far more than any other religious group.

    The figure amounted to 63% of the 2,408 religion-based #hatecrimes in the US last year.

    Overall hate crimes, and those targeting Jews, decreased last year compared to 2024, although Jews remain disproportionately targeted.

    The next most-targeted religious group was #Muslims, who were the victims of 205 hate crime incidents, meaning Jews were attacked seven times more often.

    Overall, #Blackpeople were targeted the most, with 2,811 hate crimes against them, the data showed. The US Black population is around six times larger than the Jewish population.

    Jews were targeted in 14% of all hate crimes in the US last year, despite making up around two percent of the population."

  4. "On Tuesday, the city released its #crime statistics from Jan. 1 until July 31 of this year, and the picture became considerably more dire—more than 115% worse—for #Seattle #Jews.

    Of the 66 #hatecrimes that Seattle recorded in the first seven months of this year, 13 (19.7%) have targeted Jews.

    Jews make up about 1% of those who live in the Seattle metro area, according to the Pew Research Center’s 2023-24 Religious Landscape Study.

    From January to end of July, 7.2% of all of the 511 hate crimes, crimes with what Seattle calls “#biaselements” and non-crimes that involve #bias which the city has recorded targeted Jews, according to official city data.

    Of the 259 crimes with “bias elements,” which the city uses to refer to crimes in which the bias is a secondary motivation, in Seattle so far this year, 11 (4.2%) targeted Jews, and 13 (7%) of the 186 bias incidents have targeted Jews, Seattle data suggests."

  6. Playing games with stats isn't great. Also bet Muslim stats are way way way under-reported.

    "#Jews, who make up about 10% of #NewYorkers, were the targets of nearly 70% of all #hatecrimes in the #BigApple last month, according to newly released city data, and anti-#Jewish hate crimes, which the city said it confirmed, were up 53.3% compared to the same period last year.

    The #NewYorkCity Police Department said that it recorded 33 “confirmed” hate crimes in the city last month, of which 23 targeted Jews (69.6%). In July 2025, there were 15 anti-Jewish hate crimes in the city, it said.

    #Muslims were targets of five “confirmed” hate crimes last month in New York City, or 15% of all hate crimes, which was up from two such incidents last year in July.

    After recording a 182% increase in anti-Jewish hate crimes in the Big Apple in January, in Zohran Mamdani’s first month as mayor, the city began publishing only “confirmed” hate crimes and not “reported” ones in February."

  14. HOW BACKED UP IS THE COURT SYSTEM????? The Montréal police’s #hatecrimes unit led the investigation. The two suspects, both in their 20s, were arrested this week and released on conditions. They are due in court in early 2027...

  15. "The #NewYorkCity Police Department (NYPD) confirmed on Thursday that #Jews were targeted by more #hatecrimes than any other #racial, #ethnic, or #religious group during the first six months of 2026, deepening concerns among #Jewish leaders that #antisemitism has intensified during the opening months of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration.

    The department recorded 178 anti-Jewish hate crimes from January to June, even as hate crimes against Asian, Black, and white #NewYorkers — groups whose populations together outnumber the city’s Jews by nearly six to one — registered double-digit decreases and offenses related to #ethnicity fell 50 percent. Anti-#Muslim offenses also rose, from 14 during the same period in 2025 to 21 this year.

    The figures appeared in the NYPD’s biannual #crime report."

  17. It is more than evident that the current administration in the US has failed its people. Trans people should not have to flee out of fear for their lives. Anyone doubting if conservative governments can be trusted? Here is the proof they cannot

    Also, did the parents not ask politicians to exploit this tragedy for political gain. Here's Kemi doing a weak version of what Farage did last week.
