Seattle Police data reveals 35 anti-Jewish hate crimes since 2023 compared to nine targeting Muslims and Arabs, translating to a dramatically higher per-capita rate for the city's small Jewish community. The report, published by Jewish Breaking News, notes the local numbers reflect a broader national surge in antisemitism.
Seattle Police data provides a new local snapshot of antisemitism in the United States, showing Jews were targeted in 35 hate crimes since 2023 compared to nine targeting Muslims and Arabs. The per-capita disparity is nearly eightfold, reflecting a pattern of disproportionate targeting that has been documented nationally.
As The Zioneer has previously reported, FBI data shows Jews account for roughly 15% of all reported hate crimes nationwide despite being about 2% of the population. NYPD data from July showed 70% of New York City hate crimes were anti-Jewish, a 53% increase from the previous year. The Seattle numbers add a West Coast data point to this broader trend.
The report cites FBI data indicating that Jews constitute the overwhelming majority of victims of religion-based hate crimes across the United States. The data covers the period from 2023 through the present.
