'Threat of imminent attack on US Jews is real'
ABC News ^ | 9/22/16 | Ron Kampeas

Deputy Homeland Security Secretary paints grim picture of Jewish communities' vulnerability to terrorism, says leaders not doing enough.

JTA - Painting a grim picture of Jewish vulnerability in the United States, a top U.S. security official said that the vast majority of funds earmarked to secure non-profits goes to Jewish institutions because their need is most acute.

Alejandro Mayorkas, the Deputy Homeland Security Secretary, speaking Wednesday to the Orthodox Union's annual leadership mission to Washington, said rising extremism in the United States and its threat to the Jewish community keeps him awake at night.

He said the threat had shifted in the last year from the relatively small number of Americans who were radicalized overseas, to homegrown extremists whom the Islamic State terrorist group had reached through the Internet. The FBI was tracking more than one thousand suspected extremists across the United States, and they were to be found in all 50 states, he said.

"They find great access to a radicalizing Islam" on the web, Mayorkas said of the homegrown extremists. "They find what they believe is purpose and meaning in their life."

Inviting in the people who say they want to kill Jews (and everyone else too) is NEVER a good idea.

[["They find great access to a radicalizing Islam" on the web, Mayorkas said of the homegrown extremists. "They find what they believe is purpose and meaning in their life."]]

No , they find it in their koran , it's what their unholy book teaches and it is what their unholy prophet of satan did and taught them to do.

According to some Muslim apologist I saw on Hannity (Fox) earlier this week, there are more Jewish terrorists than Muslim terrorists...

By huge numbers Jews in the US support, vote for and donate to the Democrat fasicists. So I see it as reaping the harvest they’ve sown.

Sad part is its coservatives eho bail them out time and again

I’m sure Obama sleeps pretty well at the prospect. Seems he can pi$$ all over American Jews & Israel and they will still support him.

WRONG ANSWER

1) Not all Jews vote Democrat
2) If it is not safe for a man to walk down the street wearing a kippah it is not safe for any man , woman or child to walk our streets.
3) Your attitude not only stinks it isn’t conservative at all.

What s/he said is dead on accurate. Do you work for CNN?

[[That would be the Jews that hate conservatives....hate cops...and run the cesspool called Hollywood.

Let em hire personal security, the blue line shouldnt have to risk their lives and leave their kids with out a father/mother to protect those that hate em and despise them.]]

The Jews are the canary in the coal mine of every country.
You don’t protect them and you and yours won’t be protected either.

A whole bunch of Catholics and Protestants voted for Obama and a whole bunch of their charities are taking money from the government to bring these people in and relocate them.
Since the Jews are less than 2% of the US population maybe you should be blaming the so called churches that are blind to what Islamic terrorism is going to bring to our shores.

Gee! when I look around my Temple and the Jewish community center where I live I don’t see a lot of terrorist or haters. I see people who are trying to help out others. In most cities there are also Jewish Federations who only goal is to serve the Jewish community and others around their city much like the United Way. So this guy’s comment is pretty ridiculous.

No the one sad thing that I observe as a member of the Jewish community is that sadly over 60% of my fellow Jews make poor political choices because of their being
do-gooders for the downtrodden in America and the world. Even when they chips are against them they try to help others. A sad but true commentary. That is why in 1935 they didn’t see how bad Hitler was until they killed 6 million + Jews.

Maybe one day my fellow Jews will awaken and do the right thing in voting. Very observant Jews - Orthodox tend to be very conservative and vote republican. Its the Liberal Reform Jew (majority of American Jews). Who are on the left.
For the record I’m a Reform Jew but have never voted for a Democrat in my entire life nor has my immediate family and Parents.

Exactly. Why would we get too irate at Jews reaping what they’ve sown? They repeatedly vote into office the very pigs that hurt them. It sounds personal to me.

The real threat is the upcoming Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. With the holiday beginning on Sundown October 2, 2016 and then with Yom Kippur 10 days later. It is on these two holidays that Synagogues are at full capacity. All Synagogues do hire extra full time security for the Holidays and most are off duty Law enforcement personnel. All take the threat very seriously working with Local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.

Hannity was pretty incredulous at the comment but didn’t take the time to refute him, just snorted derisively. The monster lies these guys and their Democrat enablers tell so easily and glibly are Orwellian.
