DENVER — Colorado ranked eighth among states in the U.S. for the number of antisemitic incidents in 2021, according to a new audit from the Anti-Defamation League .
In the audit, which is titled"Audit of Antisemitic Incidents 2021," ADL’s Mountain States Region found that incidents targeting Jews surged 49% to the highest level reported in more than a decade. The region includes Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming. Nationwide, incidents increased by 34% year over year with 2,717 antisemitic reports last year, the audit found. That's the highest number on record since the anti-hate organization began tracking in 1979.
ADL’s Mountain States Region found 100 incidents of anti-Jewish assault, harassment and vandalism in the three states in 2021, a significant increase compared to the 67 reports from 2020. Of those 100 reports, 92 happened in Colorado. In 2020, Colorado reported 60 incidents. "Antisemitism is not a hatred confined to the pages of history textbooks," ADL Mountain States Regional Director Scott Levin said."It is a hatred that Jews living in Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming and beyond are experiencing right here and right now. While we will redouble our efforts to confront antisemitism and hate, we cannot do it alone. We need all people of goodwill to recognize antisemitism for the real threat it is not only to Jews, but to all of our civil society.
Every state in the United States, and the District of Columbia, reported an antisemitic incident in 2021. The ADL Center on Extremism illustrated this data, plus extremism incidents, in an interactive map, which you can view here and below.In January, the Denver Police Department's Bias Motivated Crime Unit began investigating fliers containing antisemitic language in the Country Club neighborhood.
Hate and racism are alive and well sadly.
WTF, Colorado?! We should be better.
When do we say enough is enough?🇮🇱

Antisemitic incidents jumped 34% in 2021 over prior year, new report findsAccording to the annual Anti-Defamation League report, 88 cases of assault were cataloged in 2021 along with 1,776 cases of harassment and 853 cases of vandalism. I don't blame anyone who is anti some of the core principles of Judaism,such as the mutilation of infant males genitals,animal sacrifice, child bride taking. Or if you don't like the smugness& entitlements of the average participant in their ' chosen people' activities I personally don't like Jews, but I don't hate them. And that is my right as an American, just as voicing my opinion. The difference is I'm not claiming a sky daddy gave me my rights, and hiding behind that and a dual citizenship in Israel to fall back on.
