You can look at the data for yourself: https://app.powerbigov.us/view?r=eyJrIjoiYjg1NWI3YjgtYzkzOS00Nzc0LTkwMDAtNTgzM2I2M2JmYWE1IiwidCI6IjJiOWY1N2ViLTc4ZDEtNDZmYi1iZTgzLWEyYWZkZDdjNjA0MyJ9

The first 3 quarters of 2022 had as many hate crimes against Jews as the whole 2021. The 194 number you referenced is the number of crimes the article claims to have looked into, not the number that has occurred.

41

The explanations for a lot of the logs for Jews in specific state criminal mischief, which supposedly is placed for vandalism, but they’re saying it’s related to religious practice. A lot of these numbers are skewed.

When swastikas are spray painted on a synagogue, do you not think that's related to religious practice?

It’s skewing the numbers, that’s all I’m saying. When you think of a hate crime, you think it’s physical before anything else.

No, vandalism is pretty common for anti-semitic hate crimes. Vandalizing Jewish cemeteries for example. Swastikas spray painted on Jewish places such as schools, synagogues etc.

Just because you do doesn't mean everyone does.

I don't know about you, but showing up to synagogue and seeing a swastika painted with the words 'die Jews' doesn't make me feel warm and cuddly on the inside
