Antisemitism Vs Police Killings

Buried Truths: The Media's Silence on

America's Growing War Against Jews


HCCI Protection has stood as Colorado’s leading expert in protecting the Jewish community since 2019.

June 4th marked our 6-year anniversary—and it wasn’t celebrated with cake or champagne. It was spent on the ground in Boulder, standing with the Jewish community in the wake of the June 1st terrorist attack. That is the reality of our work. That is our mission.

I created this article and these visuals to expose the truth the media refuses to share.
The media controls the narrative—what the public sees, what they care about, and how they respond. It distorts perception by amplifying selective outrage and burying inconvenient facts. They’ve had you believe that police brutality—particularly toward Black Americans—is the greatest threat we face. But the numbers tell a different story.

The truth is this: Antisemitism in America is worse than any policing issue they claim to care about.

It is underreported, ignored, and even justified by the very media and politicians who claim to fight for justice.

HCCI Protection is here to blow the cover off that narrative.

  • In 2024 alone, Jewish people in America were attacked more than all people killed by police in the past eight years combined.
  • In 2024 alone, Jewish people were targeted more than all Black Americans killed by police from 2017 through 2024.
  • Every year, antisemitic attacks have outnumbered police-related deaths, yet where is the outrage? Where are the riots? Where are the headlines?

The truth is inconvenient—so it’s buried. But not by us.

Here are the facts. Here are the numbers. This is the reality the Jewish community is facing in America.

🧠 Key Insights:

  • In 2024 aloneantisemitic incidents (9,354) exceeded the entire 8-year total of all police killings (8,465).
  • The total number of antisemitic attacks since 2017 (32,637) is:
  • Over 3.8x greater than all police killings combined.
  • Over 17x greater than the total number of Black individuals killed by police.
  • Despite this staggering threat, antisemitism receives a fraction of the attention given to law enforcement use of force.


Comparing antisemitic incidents with total police killings and Black individuals killed by police from 2017 to 2024.


🔍 Key Takeaways from the Graph:

  • Antisemitic incidents have surged, especially since 2022—skyrocketing to 9,354 in 2024.
  • Meanwhile, police-related killings (total and Black individuals) have remained relatively flat.
  • This clearly illustrates a misalignment in media and political focus. While narratives around police violence dominate headlines, the explosive growth in antisemitic attacks is largely ignored or underreported.
  • In 2024 alone, antisemitic attacks outnumbered all police killings in the past 8 years combined.

📊 1. 2024 Antisemitic Incidents vs All Police Killings (2017–2024)

This chart shows that in just one year, antisemitic attacks (9,354) outnumbered the total number of people killed by police in eight years combined (8,465). 


📊 2. 2024 Antisemitic Incidents vs Black Individuals Killed by Police (2017–2024)

This chart highlights that antisemitic attacks in 2024 alone are nearly 5x higher than the entire 8-year total of Black individuals shot by police (1,899). 


To put this into perspective, the Black population in the United States is approximately 48.3 million people, while the Jewish population is about 7.5 million. That means Black Americans outnumber Jewish Americans by a factor of 6.4 to 1.


And yet — despite being a much smaller population — the Jewish community faces 17x more attacks than Black Americans killed by police over the same period. The disparity is staggering. When adjusted for population size, the targeting of Jewish people is not just disproportionate — it’s explosive.


📊 3. Year-by-Year Breakdown (2017–2024)

This visual shows how antisemitic incidents have skyrocketed, especially post-2022, while police killings (total and Black individuals) have remained relatively steady.
The spike in antisemitism contrasts sharply with the 
disproportionate media and political focus on policing.


The Silence Must End: It's Time For Us ALL To Stand Up


When law enforcement use of force is in question, the world watches. Headlines rage. Protests fill our streets. But when Jewish communities are attacked, burned, bombed, or executed in cold blood—the media stays quiet. Politicians look the other way. The public remains silent.

 

Why? Because the truth is inconvenient. Because this crisis doesn’t fit the narrative.

But at HCCI Protection, we refuse to be silent. We refuse to let history repeat itself. The Jewish people—America’s most targeted minority—deserve safety, security, and the freedom to live without fear. And that only happens when we act.

 

👉 It’s time for all of us to stand up.
It’s time to protect Jewish life.
It’s time to change the narrative.
