Hate crimes have surged in the Big Apple this year under divisive, anti-Israel Mayor Zohran Mamdani – with more than half of the incidents targeting Jewish New Yorkers, unsettling new crime statistics show.

The startling 9.4% uptick in hate crimes citywide comes even as all seven major crime categories saw sharp declines across all five boroughs – including historic lows for murders and shootings – according to NYPD data released Monday.

Year to date, the number of confirmed hate crimes in the city jumped from 329 last year to 360, with 33 coming in July alone. More than half (56.9%) were anti-Jewish hate crimes, despite making up just 10% of New York City’s population.

Hate crimes against Jewish New Yorkers so far this year have increased by 8.5% – 205 year-to-date compared to 189 for the same period last year.

Meanwhile, other major crimes are experiencing major dips across the board.

In July, shootings decreased 21.3% and were down in every borough. In July 2020, 243 shooting incidents were recorded compared to just 59 this year, representing a 75% drop for the month.

Year-to-date shootings were down 7.5% citywide, with 771 shooting incidents in the first seven months of 2020 compared to just 381 this year.

Murder was down 32.3% in July, and 22.8% year to date.

Burglary, auto theft, robbery, grand larceny and felony assault were also down between .4% and 25.3% year to date.

“This summer, the NYPD was called upon to manage an unprecedented series of major and overlapping events, including the NBA Finals, the World Cup, Sail250, and the largest Fourth of July celebration in the country,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch said in a statement.

“Through it all, even as the demands on this department reached historic levels, the men and women of the NYPD delivered double-digit declines in major crime and record lows in violent crime across the city,” she said.

She chalked the record lows of violent crime to “our data-driven precision policing policy and the tireless work of the members of the NYPD whose long hours and dedication continue to make New York City safer.”

Mamdani has faced a steady stream of criticism from the city’s Jewish leaders since before he took office, which has only magnified since.

Last month, Jewish community leaders urged hizzoner to “stop fanning the flames of hatred and division” after a lunatic viciously stabbed a Jewish man in a suspected hate crime and the mayor offered little more than a canned response.

“You know, first and foremost, I want to make clear that this is a city where we have no tolerance for hatred of any kind, the hatred of someone on the basis of their faith, their background, natural identity,’’ he said when asked if he had a reaction to the outrage from the Jewish leaders.

He’s also taken heat from the Jewish community over his longstanding reluctance to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada,” and his associations with individuals like his chief counsel, Ramzi Kassem, who previously represented an al-Qaeda tanker-bombing pilot

Mamdani has been a conspicuous no-show at bridge-building events like the annual Israel Day Parade in May, which the mayor skipped to tout his 2029 reelection bid and ride his bicycle.

Moshe Spern, president of United Jewish Teachers, said the surge in antisemitic hate crimes should alarm every New Yorker.

“When one community is being attacked at this disproportionate rate while the rest of the city gets safer, that is not random. It is a failure of leadership,” he said, slamming the mayor over the mushrooming violence unfolding on his watch.

“Jewish New Yorkers have every right to expect that their safety will be treated as a priority, not an afterthought. The mayor must stop the rhetoric that fuels hostility and start treating antisemitic violence with the urgency it demands.”

Mamdani’s office did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
