ADL says hate crimes targeting Jews continue to rise.
In a violent spree last year, the 28-year-old Ocean County man allegedly stabbed an Orthodox man in the chest, carjacked and assaulted a driver, and then ran down two pedestrians in Lakewood and Jackson, later telling detectives that the Jews were “the real devils.”
“We are alarmed by another record-setting year for antisemitic incidents in New Jersey, mirroring the trend we saw nationally,” said Scott Richman, the ADL’s regional director. Richman believes social media and the continuing polarization of society is partly to blame for an uptick in hate nationwide, not just against Jews but against all communities. Social media gives people a voice, he said, but “it also gives haters a megaphone” for getting their hateful ideas out there.
In its report, the ADL said of particular concern was the assaults in New Jersey last year that were obviously directed against members of the Orthodox community, indicating they were specifically set upon because of their religious beliefs.
