Anonymous Bomb Threats Rattle Jewish Centers Across Eastern U.S.

>Mr. Feinstein said about 300 people had been in the Rockville center when the threat was made, including about 200 preschoolers. After the threat in Delaware, parents were called to pick up preschool and day school students. In South Carolina, Mr. Abels said staff members and patrons attending exercise classes had to leave. About three hours later, he said, the authorities said it was safe to return, leaving many to wonder what had happened.

>“It could be anything from hate groups to a terrorist situation,” Mr. Abels said. “I think it’s probably more on the hate group side, because it was just a scare.” He said he believed it was “designed to be psychologically disorienting and scary and just disruptive.”

>Jerry Silverman, the president and chief executive of the Jewish Federations of North America, said the threats were part of a disturbing trend toward normalizing hate speech. It was less than three years ago that a former Ku Klux Klan leader killed three people outside Jewish facilities in Overland Park, Kan. And in November, after the presidential election, the Anti-Defamation League posted a warning about a reported uptick in hate speech and anti-Semitism.

>Some members of the alt-right, a far-right fringe movement that embraces elements of anti-Semitic, racist and anti-immigrant positions, perceived the victory of President-elect Donald J. Trump as validation for their cause and have become increasingly visible in recent months. Mr. Trump, who has a Jewish daughter and son-in-law, has disavowed the alt-right.

>Mr. Silverman said Monday’s cases were part of a broader “coordinated effort” to intimidate Jews. He said that Jewish organizations nationwide had instituted emergency protocols, and that leaders were communicating with one another on Monday as the threats were reported.
...

>“We’ve seen this at Jewish community centers over the last year,” Mr. Silverman said. “We’ve seen it at Jewish day schools. We’ve seen it at synagogues.”

>“It’s all about training and preparedness,” he added.

>Law enforcement agencies in Nashville; Jacksonville, Fla.; and Tenafly, N.J., were among those confirming on Monday that they had responded to and cleared bomb threats at Jewish centers. An F.B.I. spokeswoman said the bureau was “aware of bomb threats” and had been in touch with the local police.

>“We understand there were similar threats around the country,” said Tzipora Cohen, of the Jewish Community Center in Tenafly. “I guess these are the times we live in.”

Yes because saying islam is responsible for all the problems is better than saying judaism is. nice try, JIDF.

They're only the Crazies. If it wasn't about jewish they'd babble another reason for hate. And they find lots of reasons to hate lots of groups and individuals.

Traumatizing children: this should be a jail-for-life crime.

Jewish groups get most money from federal security grants

In an event announcing $1.7 billion in Department of Homeland Security grants, Napolitano noted that 63 percent of nonprofit grant recipients were "affiliated with Jewish organizations."

The following year, according to the Jewish Federations of North America, that number grew. In 2010, 94 percent of the department's nonprofit security funding went to Jewish groups that are, in the words of the Department of Homeland Security, "at high risk of terrorist attack." That included $222,000 for Jewish nonprofits in Missouri.

Last month, the Nonprofit Security Grant Program awarded three St. Louis Jewish organizations $195,000 in grants to guard against such an attack, according to the Missouri Department of Public Safety. They were the only nonprofits in St. Louis to receive funding from the program, which awarded more than 80 percent of its $20 million budget in 2011 to Jewish nonprofits around the country.
