Authorities have arrested a 19-year-old dual U.S.-Israeli citizen whom they have reason to believe is behind the recent threats on Jewish community centers across the U.S., the Jerusalem Post has learned.
As of Thursday, with a gag order on the probe lifted by the Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court, which extended his detention, sources indicate that most of the cases of threats against Jewish communities and organizations, though not all, led investigators back to Israel.
The male suspect reportedly used computer programs to hide his location and has made similar threats in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.
In recent weeks, over 100 threats have been leveled against JCCs.
I’m still wondering why they are hiding his name. Is he arab-israeli?
If it is THAT Vanunu family, the dad is also known as John Crossman (according to the Jerusalem Post).
Someone should tell this kid that false flags are for grownups.
Wouldn’t surprise me a bit if all this got traced right back to the ADL. After all, the ADL is the one who engineered the whole “hate crime” BS, and it along with its mini-me the SPLC, manipulate the Orwellian “hate crimes” to rake in tons of money, and gain lots of influence, even among law enforcement.
Is an Israeli citizen necessarily a Jew? Do they grant citizenship to non-Jews?
I know almost nothing about Israel, so I apologize if these are dumb questions.
unless he’s an Arab whose family was in what was the former British mandate before 1948, Israel tends to only give citizenship to Jews, which their Law of Return defines as a person with at least one Jewish grandparent.
“This was probably a self hater...”
That’s an old worn out cliche’.
It’s not self hate, it’s a driven sense of superiority.
An attempt at creating superior ‘victimhood”.
“They are not sympathetic to this kid, that’s for sure.”
Yeah, he got caught!
“Is an Israeli citizen necessarily a Jew? Do they grant citizenship to non-Jews?”
Israel’s immigration policy is skewed very heavily toward Jewish immigrants. Any Jew who can prove Jewish lineage through their mother is entitiled to Israeli citizenship.
Very few gentiles are allowed to immigrate and become citizens.

Okay, thanks for the info.
Thanks for answering my questions.
it was unclear what the suspect’s motivations were for the many threats, which made international headlines and got US President Donald Trump caught up in accusations that he was light on antisemitism when he did not initially harshly condemn the scares
Guy makes threats to his own in-group members and a US Prez Candidate gets IN TROUBLE...!
Threats --> Need for others to denounce the threats
That is a huge, powerful grievance machine. Let's put the shoe on the other foot and just imagine it:
Some random American in America begins orchestrating threats against his fellow Americans and those abroad, but because an **Israeli PM Candidate half a world away** doesn't step in and DENOUNCE those distant, verbal threats, HE GETS IN DEEP POLITICAL TROUBLE..?!
That's totally absurd (a million Israelis would properly have told the complainer to BTFO) and speaks to just how huge and well-oiled this Grievance Machine is, how incredibly and inappropriately powerful it has made complainers.
And your admonishment for me to provide an EXCUSE shows the same.
When some Arab makes up PC B.S. about being threatened and the nature of the B.S. is finally made plain, at least you can count on most Arab kooks not to persist in the fantasy.
But I guess you can't say that about everyone, huh.
The threats shouldn’t be lumped in with the cemetary vandalism in St Louis. I’ve always believed that was a seperate group completely
There are still few details available about the suspect’s profile, but he is not in the IDF, not ultra-Orthodox, at some point made aliya and possibly has psychological problems and few friends, with reports saying his lawyer said he has a nonmalignant brain tumor.Guy makes threats to his own in-group members and a US Prez Candidate gets IN TROUBLE...!

Grievance is a huge problem. I think you have drunk deeply from that poison.

You have no understanding of the Israeli-left, who wanted Obama to rape Israel to force Israel to once again reward Palestinian terrorism. These people are at war with Netanyahu.

Actually, the reverse is true. When have the Arabs and their supporters every apologized for a lie?
You've lost your sense of reality, Gaijin. And noting you have written justifies making fun of the Holocaust. Seek psychatric care, because you are not the rational person you used to be.
Do you think that Israelis secretly want someone to call Jewish community centers around the US and threaten the safety of the people inside? I don’t understand your point.
