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.

Such an "answer" may be found on the back of a cereal box.

But then, it may not.

Ah. That explains the humor impairment.

My Rx:

Go directly to the nearest source of books and pick up a copy of ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’

Read it.

Get back to me when done for further instructions...

But, like people have said earlier: this site has lost intellectual power, it has become filled with simple minded persons who lack critical thinking and sit on the sidelines

You can tell from my date that I'm a newbie, but as a newbie I'm hoping to help weed out the "1/3" full of juveniles, nay-sayers, and Axel-turfers. Their presence is obvious, that's why I keep a list.

Thanks for the post. Prayers up!

Just finished this thread and saw your post on Axxxel turfing up thread. I've been doing some research on this since we last talked and found among other things:

Let’s hope it was a hoax.

Today and the rest of the week will tell

There’s no doubt that they are doing this. Look at the stuff that happened with TeamSarah.com for a recent example. Since FR is the big dog in the conservative web, they’ve got a lot ‘em here.
