The Interplay of Hate Crimes and There Effect on Health.

 New York , May 12, 2020. The American Jewish community experienced the highest level of antisemetic incidents since tracking began in 1979 with more than 2,100 acts of assault , vandalism and harrassment . (Anti Defamation League ,2019) . The ADL reports that this is an increase of over 56 %. In a time when many Jewish communities acrosse the country had direct encounters with hate said Jonathan Greenblatt , ADL CEO . This contributed to a rising climate of anxiaty and fear in our communities . Among some of the statistics involved in antisemitic crimes are the following ; ADL  Centers for Etreamism identified  234 incidents targeting Jewish Synagogues and Community Centers in 2019 . This includes a shooting in a Chabad Center in Poway California which killed one worshiper a 60 year old woman and injuring a Rabbi .Some of the major findings from the year 2009 as  per the Antidefamation League  who counted a total of 2,107 antisemetytic incidents across the US  a 12 % increase from 1,879 incidents recorded in 2008  

Three Major Indidents involved in Hate Crimes

1- Harrassment -1,127 for an increase of 6% in 2018 

2- Vandalism - 919 from 746 for an increase of 19% 

3- Assault - 60 incidents for an increase of 56%  .

There where incidents reported in almost every state including Alaska and Hawaii. The state with the highest numbers of incidents were New York with 430 incidents , New Jersey with 345 incidents , California with 330 , Masshachusetts  with 114 and Pennsylvania with 109 incidents ; combined these states account for nearly 45% of the total number of antisemetic Crimes (HEAT MAP ADL .org 2021). Over the last two decades the UNited States has suffered over Ten Thousand religion motivated hate crimes (Feinburg,A  Cambridge Press ) . As a clinician I have evaluated the topic from many angles and several hypothesis have been raised including the identification of motivation and usual actors . Infact authors Wolfgang Frindt and Susan Wettig state in there published paper entitled Old  and New Anti Semetic Attitudes indentify variations in minority targeting . These also vary from state to state as well as world view and motivation leading to believe that new anglees of appraisal in the topic should be observed . The Role of Faith in Health care is important to overcome disease and rehabilitate oneself .  5% of peopple who visit the Emergwecy Room do so because of Spirituaql Distress . It is important for Clinicians to identify victims of hate and torture because these may be identified during physical exam and the patient may still suffer from emotional distress in addition the emotion of hate may be diagnosed using MRI  scans  and appropriate referals  made to Mental Health Professionals for the Victimizer and the victim whom may afflicted with theis type of emotion as a result of victimization .
