And while we are at it, let's consider that the vast majority of hate crimes in this country do not involve African Americans or Muslim Americans, but are instead directed towards Jewish Americans.
According to 2018 FBI data: Jews were 2.7 times more likely than blacks, 2.2 times more likely than Muslims to be hate crime victims.
Jewish Lives Matter.
They do. But raw numbers may need some analysis. How many Jews are gunned down by police, compared to BIPoC persons, where race/ethnic bias in involved?
How many hate crimes, in each group you mention, involve physical violence and how many involve vandalism, graffiti, verbal abuse?
If 400 members of a synagogue are greeted with a spray painted swastika on the building on Saturday, and the count of hate crime victims is 400, how does that weigh against a black person who is shot or beaten to death, or left in a wheelchair?
Also, Jewish people have been proactive and organized about reporting hate crimes to law enforcement. Do BIPoC persons match that level of reporting?
If your stats can reveal, in more detail, the types and severity of hate crimes directed towards each group, and which group is more reluctant to file police reports, it would help in guiding sensible public policy.
You're kidding, right?
How many Jews do you think live in this country? Do you know how small a percentage of the US population Jews comprise?
ELEVEN law-abiding and contributing-to-a-more-just-society Jews being killed in the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh represents a great loss to the country. But you wouldn't know it. Known criminals like a Michael Brown, or a George Floyd are mourned as a terrible loss to our society, both having done nothing for no one but themselves, because...well, they're not Jews, right?

See if you can put 2 and 2 together, and maybe you'll begin to understand who the real persecuted are, and who the extremists are.
Maybe.
