U.S. Jewish Center Bomb Threat Suspect Is Arrested in Israel
NY Times ^ | 03-23-2017 | ADAM GOLDMAN and ALAN BLINDER

WASHINGTON — The Israeli police on Thursday arrested a man believed to be responsible for scores of bomb threats that were phoned in to Jewish community centers across the United States, American officials said.

The F.B.I. confirmed in a statement that the bureau had worked with the Israeli national police to arrest the teenager, who, officials said, holds citizenship in both Israel and the United States.

“Investigating hate crimes is a top priority for the F.B.I., and we will continue to work to make sure all races and religions feel safe in their communities and in their places of worship,” a spokeswoman for the F.B.I., Samantha Shero, said. She said the bureau could not provide additional information about its inquiry.

Jewish community centers across the United States have reported more than 100 bomb threats since the beginning of the year. The calls, which President Trump condemned during an address to Congress last month, led to evacuations and bomb sweeps and heightened worries about anti-Semitism in the United States.

The suspect was using anonymizer software to cover his tracks, according to federal law enforcement officials in the United States. The technology made it harder for the F.B.I. to pinpoint who was making the threats.

My bet is on a liberal idiot who hates Trump so much he thought creating a wave of anti-Semitic incidents would reflect badly on the President and further the BS narrative of his anti-Semitism. Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.

They still haven’t released the suspect’s name or religion. One would think this was most likely done by an Arab-Israeli (or if not, someone who hated Trump and knew the liberal press would blame Trump for the attacks).

His parents made aliyah from the US. Israel is a small place, and likely anyone there interested already knows who he is.

He’s been at this for more than six months, apparently starting with New Zealand.

I agree- the odds are that’s exactly what he/she/it was doing.

Most likely the caller initiated the calls using VOIP - voice over Internet protocols - like with Skype and similar systems. Anonymizer software used with them can make a call look to the recipient as if the call is coming from anywhere - any number - the caller wants it to appear to be coming from. Once the call moves to the telephone system exchanges, the Internet packets that sent it there are no longer part of the data.

Gettin to the point that if there is some sort of hate crime, it’s 99% probable the ‘victim’ is the perp.

As they surely have been doing.

But, don't wait for a formal apology.

An apology would never feed their propaganda narrative.
