In the first month of Mamdani’s term as mayor, anti-Jewish hate crimes were up 182 per cent compared to the prior year. Since then, the New York City Police Department has twice changed the ways it reports hate crimes, making it more difficult to compare statistics in recent months with prior years. Each month since January, Jews have been disproportionately attacked, often by manyfold, compared to their percentage of the population of the city, about 10 per cent. Still, Jews were targets of 55 per cent of all hate crimes in the city in the first six months of the year.
