At a May 21 press conference immediately after the terrorist killing of Israeli Embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, Mayor Muriel Bowser vowed that “we will not tolerate antisemitism” in the nation’s capital.
But according to the 2024 report from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Democrat Mayor Bowser’s District of Columbia had 151 antisemitic incidents, or a horrendous 2l.5 per 100,000 residents.
With 9,354 antisemitic incidents, the nationwide rate was 2.8 per 100,000, or 87% lower.
Eight Democrat trifecta states totaled 5,148 incidents, or an egregiously disproportionate 55% of the nation’s toll.
New York led with 1,437; California, 1,344; New Jersey, 719; and Massachusetts, 438.
Maryland had 356 antisemitic incidents; Illinois, 336; Colorado, 279; and Washington, 239.
New Jersey had the worst rate of 7.6 per 100,000 and Illinois the lowest at 2.6.
In a remarkable contrast, nine Republican trifecta states totaled 1,439 incidents in 2024, which are statistically equal to New York’s 1,437 and account for only 15% of America’s total.
Florida had 353; Texas, 251; Ohio, 233; Georgia, 163; and Indiana, 142.
Missouri registered 105 antisemitic incidents; Tennessee, 81; Alabama, 67; and South Carolina, 35.
The below-average rates ranged from South Carolina’s miniscule 0.8 per 100,000 residents to Indiana’s 2.1.
More broadly, during Joe Biden’s relentlessly catastrophic presidency, there were an abominable 24,642 antisemitic incidents, or 6,161 annually.
During President Donald Trump’s very successful first term, there were 7,998, or 2,000 annually.
Thus, Biden’s abhorrent record is more than 200% higher than Trump’s.
More granularly, whether in Democrat or Republican trifectas or split-governed states, antisemitic incidents in 2024 occurred mostly in dysfunctional, Democrat-run cities.
New York City had 972 incidents, or a heinous 10% of the nation’s 9,354, for a rate of 11.5 per 100,000.
Manhattan, the heart of darkness of radical leftism in America, had an astronomical 583 of New York City’s antisemitic incidents, or 35.1 per 100,000.
Brooklyn, the lifetime home of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who have been ignominiously missing in action in the battle against antisemitism, had 253 incidents, or 9.7 per 100,000.
Behind New York City were Los Angeles with 297; Chicago, 182; Philadelphia, 162; Denver, 121; Seattle, 119; and San Francisco, 118.
Adding the 999 antisemitic incidents in these six cities to New York City’s 972 and Washington, D.C.’s 151 equals 2,122, or a very disturbing 23% of the nation’s grim toll.
But the population of the eight Democrat cities is only 19 million, or 6% of America’s 340 million people.
Moreover, while Republican-trifecta Georgia had a very low 1.5 incidents per 100,000 residents, Democrat-dystopian Atlanta with 93 incidents had an atrocious 17.9 per 100,000.
The ADL’s 2024 antisemitism audit also highlights that 1,694 incidents were committed on college campuses.
Ann Arbor, Michigan, the home to nationally renowned University of Michigan, had 94 incidents, for a mind-boggling 76.4 per 100,000.
Cambridge, Massachusetts, home to Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), had 52 incidents, for an odious 43.0 per 100,000.
Residents of Boulder, Colorado, have been traumatized by the June 1 hate-crime firebombing of 12 Jews at a pro-Israel rally allegedly by an Egyptian illegal immigrant. The site of Colorado’s flagship public university had 32 antisemitic incidents, or a despicable 29.9 per 100,000.
While split-government Pennsylvania had 465 incidents last year, or 3.6 per 100,000, Philadelphia, another Democrat urban hellhole and home to many universities, had 162, or 10.3 per 100,000.
Undoubtedly, during the first four months of Donald Trump’s incredibly successful second term, the president and Cabinet have been fighting antisemitism much more effectively than grossly incompetent Joe Biden and top advisers did in the four previous years.
President Trump’s multifront attack is being waged by a sterling Cabinet, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Education Secretary Linda McMahon.
Their predecessors in the cataclysmic Biden-Harris administration — former Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, fomer Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, fomre Attorney General Merrick Garland, fomre FBI Director Christopher Wray, and former Education Secretary Miguel Cardona — must also be condemned for their execrable inaction when nearly 25,000 antisemitic incidents occurred mostly in Democrat cities and states.
Governors of the eight Democrat trifectas with the atrocious 55% of incidents, including California’s Gavin Newsom, New York’s Kathy Hochul, New Jersey’s Phil Murphy, and Colorado’s Jared Polis (4.7 incidents per 100,000), also deserve nationwide obloquy for their failures to suppress the antisemitism that exploded in their jurisdictions after the Islamic genocidal attack on Israel was launched on Oct. 7, 2023.
With the unwavering, intensifying support of President Trump and U.S. military personnel, Israel has seriously degraded opponents, including Hamas, Lebanon’s Hezbollah, Yemen’s Houthis, the disposed regime of Bashar Assad in Syria, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the Palestinian terrorists in Judea and Samaria.
The 2024 ADL report on antisemitism emphasizes that 5,452, or 58%, of the 9,354 incidents were related to Israel.
Undoubtedly, while former President Joe Biden and many other leading Democrats are almost entirely responsible for the explosion of antisemitism during the past 20 months, President Donald Trump, his administration, and many other leading Republicans, including Reps. Virginia Foxx and Elise Stefanik, have been stalwart fighters against the world’s oldest hatred.
