Frightening Text Messages Being Forwarded Around NY Jews:EXCLUSIVE FREEPER UPDATE INCLUDED
Yeshiva World News ^ | Jan 2, 2009 and Jan 5, 2009 | Yehuda Drudgestein - YWN

UPDATED - ALERT - Frightening Text Messages Being Forwarded Around NY Jews January 2, 2009 3:00PM EST: [UPDATE BELOW] With the situation in Gaza deteriorating by the day, and anti-semitism rampant around the world, thousands of NY Jews were frightened upon receiving the following text message which has been going around on Friday afternoon:

“A Jewish woman gave a tip to a Muslim taxi driver and out of appreciation he warned her not to go to Manhattan next week Wednesday.”

YWN has reached out to high-ranking members of the NYPD, and have stated that although they received the same text message, “there are no credible threats to be concerned about - and don’t even know where this text message originated from”.

The only message that they do have for the public is the same message that they have been saying since 9/11. That message is “always be aware of your surroundings, be vigilant, and if you see anything suspicious contact the police department immediately to report what you have seen”.

UPDATE 3:50PM EST: YWN has just spoken with NYS Assemblyman Dov Hikind who tells us that he has received various reports regarding this ‘threat’ and has personally contacted the FBI who is currently investigating them.

He thanked YWN for our alert to calm the public, and echoed the call for calm and vigilance at anytime and any location. “If you see something, say something,” Hikind said.

“The FBI and the NYPD take these types of threats very seriously, and investigate them thoroughly to ensure the safety of the public.”

May Hashem protect us from no harm - no matter where in the world we are located.

Yep, they have interesting editorials from all over the world, and track many terrorist web sites and such.

When one has a corrupt worldwide media siding with terrorists worldwide....other sites are bound to pop up and compete.

And of course, we must be careful and skeptical with any site...

Thank you for that post, Calpernia:

A new message from Al Qaeda second in command Dr. Ayman al Zawahiri entitled “The Massacre in Gaza and the Siege of the Traitors” was released this afternoon by As Sahab.

The message, in the form of an audio tape played over a still image, is 10 minutes, 18 seconds in length.

In the message, Zawahiri says: “Be strong and persist in the way of Jihad. The whole Muslim ummah is united with you. We will never stop until we avenge the death of all who are killed, injured, widowed and orphaned in Palestine and throughout the Islamic world. We are at work to carry out the promise of our fighting sheikh Osama Bin Laden (may Allah protect him) who promised that America will not live in peace in their dreams before before we live in peace in Palestine, and until all the forces of the infidels leave the lands of Muhammed.”

The full message can be downloaded from http://www.lauramansfield.com/gm.rm

We are completing a translation now.

Thanks. Frankly, it could happen any time and I really doubt that Homeland Security is capable of stopping it.

Frankly I’m glad I’m out of New York, after having been within a few blocks of the Trade Towers on 9/11. But two of my kids still work there, as well as a lot of friends.

In any case, I suspect they’ll put Obama to the test and see how he responds.

Thanks for the ping, Ma. And thanks for posting what you know, Race. I’d rather hear something and later have it turn out to be a hoax than to not know anything about it and have it turn out to be a real threat.


Forgot to add you to the reply, RaceBannon. Prayers for you all and our nation for tomorrow and ongoing.

In post #453:

promised = Past tense
