The NYPD Hate Crimes Statistics Summary for February 2022, representing February 1 – February 27 for calendar years 2022 and 2021, show a rise of 409% in hate crime against Jewish New Yorkers. In real terms, the rise is from 11 cases of antisemitic crime in 2021 to 56 in 2022.
Most of the antisemitic attacks targeted Orthodox Jews who are easily identified because of their traditional attire.
The next two groups victimized by hate crimes are Asians (+125%) and Blacks (+100), however, their real numbers are dwarfed in comparison: from 4 in 2021 to 9 in 2022, and from 8 in 2021 to 16 in 2022 respectively.
There were only 3 hate crimes against Muslims in the same period.
For the month of February 2022, New York City saw a 58.7% increase in overall index crime compared to February 2021 (9,138 v. 5,759).

It's not about the numbers but about who screams loudest.
Muslims may not be attacked in any large numbers but they use any incident to make it look like they're the victims of pogroms in every major city.
And if you remove the attacks on Jews by officially oppressed minorities, the number of attacks probably goes down.
