fake hate crimes: a database of hate crime hoaxes

The purpose of this site is to compile a comprehensive database of the false reports of "hate crimes" committed (mostly) in the USA. It builds on the work of Laird Wilcox, whose Crying Wolf (PDF) is the original book on this subject. The books Hate Crime Hoax and Hate Crimes: Criminal Law & Identity Politics are recommended.

summary
On November 5 2026, a masked cyclist was filmed painting a swastika on the facade of a Jewish cemetery in Brooklyn. It was blamed on the election of mayor Zohran Mamdani, who is critical of Israel. Some raised suspicions that the graffiti incident was a false flag staged by a Zionist militant to escalate the sense of fear among local Jews, and put the new mayor on the spot for failing to protect them. A year after the incident, the authorities have gone silent. Attempts to find out whether the incident is still being investigated have been met with a stone wall.
