It is somewhat disheartening to see that on the
Big rise in anti-Semitism in US.. Why there was 11 pages of discussion on the reasons for the threats, who could have been involved and how Trump specifically caused the atmosphere for anti-Semitic Americans to act out their hatred while this thread has barely passed one page with off topic comments.
It is also interesting to see that now that we have found where the threats are coming from, the amount of discussion here on the thread are directly analogous to the amount of media coverage we have in ES media. It's no longer even discussed.
White House: 'Trump Was Right' On Jewish Community Center Bomb ThreatsWhite House press secretary Sean Spicer said Monday that Trump "was right" not to rush to judgement on the Jewish bomb center threats.
It came out last week the source of the threats was allegedly a 19-year-old Jewish man named Michael Kaydar who had dual Israeli-American citizenship and was living in Israel.
From the JTA:
"We saw these threats coming into Jewish community centers, and there was an immediate jump to criticize folks on the right, and to denounce people on the right and ask them to condemn them, and it turns out that in fact it wasn't someone on the right," White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Monday at a media briefing. "The president from the get-go had said 'I bet you it's not someone [on the right]' and he was right."

Spicer added that "people on the left" who had blamed the right for the threats had not been held accountable.
"In that particular case, we saw that the president was right and that this rush to judgment by a lot of folks on the left was wrong, and none of them have been held to account on that," Spicer said.
Spicer went on to say those who accused "the right" of being behind the attacks "need to be called out."
While the lying media dropped the story completely after the facts came out, the teen's tech savvy father was also detained over suspicions he knew what was going on.
There was a giant antenna pointing out of their house, so it's extremely hard to believe his parents were not aware of what was going on.
While the initial story was the teen has some sort of mental disability which kept him from the military, it's rather odd a disabled boy was able to outsmart American and Israeli intelligence agencies using highly advanced, older technology and bitcoin to cover his tracks while making hundreds of bomb threats for over two years.
But look at this disgusting thing Congress is doing; there is zero evidence that the bomb threats were anti-Semitic, but they are passing legislation imaginary anti-Semitism anyways.
What they need to be doing is passing legislation to give extremely harsh penalties for Jews and other minorities who carry out hate crime hoaxes.
Bipartisan US bill would boost penalties for antisemitic bomb threatsThe bipartisan Combating Anti-Semitism Act of 2017 comes after over 150 bomb threat hoaxes were called into Jewish community centers starting in January.
A bipartisan bill would increase the federal penalty for bomb threats and other threats of violence against religious institutions and ensure such acts can be prosecuted as a hate crime.
The bipartisan Combating Anti-Semitism Act of 2017, introduced Monday by Reps. David Kustoff, R-Tenn., and Derek Kilmer, D-Wash., comes after over 150 bomb threat hoaxes were called into Jewish community centers starting in January. Although a Jewish teenager with dual Israeli-American citizenship was charged last week in the bulk of those threats, both sponsors focused on their impact on the dozens of JCCs and their clientele.
“The rise in threats at religious community centers is deeply disturbing and makes it clear that existing federal laws do not suitably deter these acts of hate,” Kustoff, who is Jewish, added in a statement. “Religious tolerance is the bedrock on which our great nation was founded. We must defend the individual liberties of our neighbors of all faiths and protect places of worship, and I am proud to introduce this bipartisan legislation that addresses the issue head on.”
Added Kilmer: “No American should be made a target because of his or her faith. Sadly, religious community centers across the country have increasingly had to lock down their facilities and call in bomb squads.”
Can you believe this bullshit?
