A suspect has been arrested after a fire tore through Beth Israel, the only synagogue in Jackson, Mississippi, on Saturday, leaving the congregation forced to rebuild from the ashes — again.

Investigators have not yet determined a motive for the fire, which remains under investigation, but it comes amid a wave of antisemitic attacks in recent years.

Problem is the lies like that cause honest people to totally disdain the authorities. As Biden used to say "C'mon, now."

“Investigators have not yet determined a motive for the fire”

Did they ask the arsonist in custody yet? That might be a good place to start.

Yes, the motive is so mysterious. (cue the Jeopardy theme song)

"Investigators have not yet determined a motive..."

That state has plenty of experience investigating fires at houses of worship.

Several Torah scrolls were destroyed, according to the American Jewish Committee, which condemned the incident as a “hateful act.”

There is “significant” damage to the library and offices of the temple, and smoke and ash throughout the building, Michele Schipper, a past president of Beth Israel, said. I don’t care if i am a jew or not, but burning books is over the edge.

Probably an Antifa/ Pro-Pali stooge.
Who else would be such a puss and to go directly to the LOCAL hospital because of burns?

Tucker must have a brain tumor or something. The change is so sudden. I don't get it. Iranian people get it. Mullahs not so much. Isn't Tucker applying to be a citizen of Qatar?

Building 7 didn’t kill itself. Never forget there are people who claim to be Jews that kill and hurt actual Jews... just to blame people that have convinced by the fake Jews.. that the Jews are the problem. Pro tip in this case. Look at the insurance policy and the actual payout. If there is an organization that is actually doing violence against Jews in Mississippi that isn’t a spin off of some NGO previously funded by US tax dollars... that would be a surprise. To be clear...for those without out a brain. I am saying that there are ZIONISTAS (FAKE JEWS) that will pull off things like this, collect the insurance money and get off on doing it. Building 7 didn’t kill itself.

Karma would find the suspect’s house engulfed in flames at the time of arraignment.

Jackson is a majority black democrat cesspool.

Wouldn’t be surprised is it is “black Hebrews” or whatever cult they have going today. They hate actual Jews.

Blacks can’t even come up with original prejudices.
