One watchdog group has called on Congress to investigate why the FBI failed to report anti-Jewish hate crime reports.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At a time of record\u00a0anti-Semitic\u00a0hate\u00a0crimes, it is appalling that the\u00a0FBI&#8217;s\u00a0data-gathering has been so badly botched,&#8221; said Kenneth L. Marcus, chairman of the Louis\u00a0D.\u00a0Brandeis\u00a0Center\u00a0for\u00a0Human\u00a0Rights\u00a0Under\u00a0Law, a watchdog group that combats Jew hatred. &#8220;This massive failure has undermined the purposes of\u00a0hate\u00a0crimes\u00a0data\u00a0precisely when we most need the\u00a0data. If the\u00a0FBI\u00a0doesn&#8217;t quickly\u00a0correct\u00a0this problem, congressional committees will need to ask some serious questions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Marcus said the FBI\u2019s 2021 statistics on hate crimes against Jews are &#8220;essentially useless&#8221; due to new reporting procedures that omitted statistics from organizations typically included in the federal agency\u2019s yearly assessment. While the FBI claims that violence against Jews declined last year, groups like the Anti-Defamation League disagree. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adl.org\/resources\/report\/audit-antisemitic-incidents-2021\">reported<\/a>\u00a02021 was the year with the highest level of anti-Semitic aggression.
