So was your comment in reply to other races not receiving bills specific to them? You’re suggesting because it covers all states, and not just nyc, that it means it’s meaningless? Here’s another bill.

So if all races experience “hate crimes”, why not create bills for everyone? Or is that reserved for those who should be a “protected class”? The point is, if anyone were to attack a jewish person for any reason, it would be labeled a hate crime, which isn’t necessarily the case for anyone else besides the two groups mentioned. I think any crime against another person is bad, hate or not btw.

“194 anti-jewish assaults since 2018”

There are 1.6 million jews living in nyc. If we do this for all races, it would be higher for other groups. The only difference is it wouldn’t be labeled as a “hate” crime. Well unless it’s an asian person. Only two groups have hate crime bills, asians & jews.

I would also like to know how many incidents happened this year. Since they say it’s an increase.
