Statistics on American Anti-Jewish and Anti-Muslim Attacks

The world is full of ignoramuses, and Hollywood has more than its fair share. Idiots like Susan Sarandon not only make horrible personal comments about Jews but suggest false information.

The simple facts are that Jews are much more persecuted than Muslims in the United States by a large margin.

Hate crimes against Jews have always been much higher than for Muslims or Arabs in every year for the past twenty years according to the FBI. The two groups started to converge around 2014 to 2016 as crimes against Jews started to decline and those against Muslims began to increase, but those trendlines reversed.

According to the raw FBI data, there were 6.3 times more hate crimes committed against Jews than Muslims in 2020. In 2008, the ratio was an astounding 8.6 times and got as low as 2.2 times in 2016.

When adjusting for the relative population of Jews and Muslims, assuming 5.7 million American Jews and 3.3 million American Muslims, the conclusion remains the same that Jews are targeted for hate crimes much more than Muslims or any other group, including Blacks.

Even before the terrible spike in American antisemitism in the wake of the most heinous slaughtering of Jews since the Holocaust on October 7, Jews were the most persecuted people in the country. Attacked by the alt-right, jihadists and the alt-left, and vilified by professors and politicians like Rep. Rashida Tlaib who claims that Jews in the United States and Israel are greedy conniving creatures who steal land and make money off of racism, Jews have become the global pinata.

American Jews are finding few allies and an array of enemies. It is well past time to prepare.
