Zohran Mamdani is moving so decisively in his early days and every move is anti-Jewish. It’s like a rabid Tourettes. Madness.

Anti-Jewish crime reporting method changes under Zohran Mamdani, lowers figure: NYPD

Antisemitic crime was soaring in NYC — until Mayor Mamdani’s new math kicked in.

After a startling spike in January, Mamdani’s NYPD changed how it counts antisemitic incidents, virtually shrinking the startling numbers overnight.

Anti-Jewish incidents were up an eye-popping 182% in Mamdani’s first month in office, with 31 reports this January compared to 11 in January 2025.

But in February, the NYPD changed the rules and started counting the crimes only after they are investigated by the Hate Crime Task Force and confirmed as hate crimes, the NYPD said.

And as of March 15, the NYPD tallied 69 anti-Jewish crimes this year compared to 58 in the same period last year — for a more politically palatable 19% increase, the data reveal.

“We’re all watching the manufacturing of propaganda in real time,” said Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz, of Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun on the Upper East Side.

“They’ll change the method of counting antisemitic crimes and literally six months later the mayor’s office will claim that antisemitism has dropped. What it will do is it will burnish the mayor’s credentials but unfortunately it will further marginalize Jews.”

Yellow and blue swastikas were found painted on a number of slides and playground equipment in Gravesend Park in Borough Park, Brooklyn, on Jan. 21, 2026.

Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a budget hearing this month the previous accounting method distorted reality.

“I believe in transparency,” Tisch said. “I also believe that the numbers the NYPD was previously reporting were conflicting, wrong, and confusing. In my opinion, what we should be reporting on is confirmed instances of hate crimes”

An NYPD spokeswoman said that if the NYPD had kept the old counting system in place one additional antisemitic crime would have been counted in February 2026.

But one expert called out the NYPD for the accounting change.

“It’s textbook fudging the numbers,” said former NYPD Detective Michael Alcazar, an adjunct professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice.

“It’s going to look like they’re combating hate crimes but they’re not being transparent,” Alcazar said. “If they really want to be transparent then they should show the number of complaints they actually receive and what the investigations yielded.”

One government insider predicted the number of antisemitic crimes would continue increasing but the public will simply be unaware.

“I think the number is going to keep rising and so they’re trying to show this incredible positive trend that’s going to be a false picture,” the source said.

The staunchly anti-Israel Mamdani has cancelled executive orders enacted by former Mayor Eric Adams to combat antisemitism. His wife Rama Duwaji has liked social media posts cheering Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on innocent Israelis and questioning Israeli rape victims.
