US-Israeli Citizen New Suspect Behind Jewish Community Center Threats

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.

“Anti-Semitism” is a business. The ADL has been in the racket for decades.

I am not disagreeing with your assessment of the ADL. It is very alarmist. I don’t agree with its approach and I don’t believe the information that it presents as factual unless I see it somewhere else.

My comment was about the general Israeli population’s reaction. There is no sympathy for this kid at all that I have seen.
