“Hate persists when apathy prevails,” reads a new report on hate crimes by a federal government ombudsman who is supposed to be the “voice of the victim.”
Hate also persists if you just ignore it. For example, the
report by the victims’ ombudsman specifically does not mention any attacks on Jews, Jewish institutions, or the alarming number of antisemitic protests in this country.
The Office of the Federal Ombudsperson for Victims of Crime reports that there was a 32 per cent increase in 2023 in the number of hate crimes reported to police but ignores the fact that attacks on Jews
increased 71 per cent that year.
It’s not as if attacks on Jews were quiet, trivial, local affairs that didn’t attract any attention.
