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.

YOU OWE ME A KEYBOARD, MOUSE, MONITOR AND A BLOTTER
That was funny
“I doubt any Muslim in the know would warn a Jewish woman.”
BINGO!
I at least have enough history to not post something that could be just a hoax
My sources are impeccable. While someone might have lied to them, they arent lying to me
I am leaving names out of this because of the hoax factor, I dont want to lead to a blacklisting of certain organizations I might name because the info turned out to be wrong
but some woman from California called in almost panic mode to my friend once she got off the phone with her son in NYC this morning. Everyone on this forum knows who she works for.
Sooner or later, the shit will hit the fan. Let nobody deceive himself that it will not eventually happen. Too long have we played the fool and allowed the enemy to live among us. The results of this stupidity are overdue.
I’m sure your conservative friend got a call, from somebody who knows the brother of the chick in the taxi, etc. Did you hear about the girl with the hotdog in the cafeteria? I know that happened, it was a friend of mine’s sisters’ friend.
LOL.
And as for bizarre formatting: glass houses, half-assed-’haiku’-boy.
LOL! Good one, Petronski.
Islamic psyops. They know how to do this. They play with “chatter” on the web masterfully.
They ask them if their husband is circumcised!
I was waiting for someone to drop THAT stereotype ... I couldn't quite get it into words. Oh, man...
Can you get me some xanax to calm my self after the crap hits the fan
Could be just the bloody distraction Obamo needs to have the nation ignore his ineligibility when it hits the rotary blades. Someone really, really wants the affirmativea ction fraud to ascend to the seat of ultimate individual power in the free world. For moose limbs, blood greases the skids of their fairy sleds.
“They ask them if their husband is circumcised! “
Mebbe it was the size of the “TIP”
Bwahahahahahahah
I guess you haven’t read Post 15’s link.
(Notice I didn’t shout, thank you very much).
Thanks, RB. I will keep the safety of all Jews in America strongly in my prayers this week, in addition to my other prayers.
Word of mouth hoax's existed long before the internet.
What about non-jewish NYers?
