At least 17 bomb threats called in to JCCs nationwide in third wave of harassment
JTA ^ | January 31, 2017

At least 17 Jewish community centers across the United States were targeted with bomb threats in the third wave of such mass disruption this month.

Paul Goldenberg, the director of Secure Community Network — an affiliate of the Jewish Federations of North America that advises Jewish groups and institutions on security — said the threats were called in late Tuesday morning. Some of the messages were live, he confirmed.

“[I]n the past we know that the numbers can grow exponentially,” he said, adding that perpetrators have been “leveraging technologies to make mass calls.”

Goldenberg confirmed that threats had been called into JCCs in Albany, New York; Syracuse, New York; West Orange, New Jersey; Milwaukee, San Diego and Salt Lake City.

The JCC in New Haven, Connecticut received a live call at 11:45 a.m. Tuesday threatening violence. The JCC is housed in several locations following a Dec. 5 fire, and evacuated about 100 people from those places following the call. After law enforcement determined that the threat was not credible, the evacuees returned. The New Haven JCC was also targeted in a wave of bomb threats about two weeks ago.

Yet the ADL is busily defending Muslims. Glad to see they have their priorities straight.[/s]

The evildoers are doing this as "dry run" exercises as they plan for their real attack.
These dirtbags are clearly messing with the wrong dog with President Trump at the helm.
Terrorists have forgotten what it is like with a POTUS who loves his country.

Someones been doing this on a regular basis to a large Jewish CC in Maitland FL ,, it could be plain harassment or a precursor to an attack... it definitely lowers the rents/value of the office buildings on their property.

When those Muslimahs invaded a Palm Beach synagogue and began asking pointed questions about when the building was most full (of Jews), that should have signaled congregations across the country to train & arm their men to guard their houses of worship. Then a Muslim casing a synagogue would take one look and realize that any attack would have to be a suicide mission.

Nope, hasn’t happened. Too many American Jews are ready only to sing Kumbaya with Muslim encroachers.

Asymmetric warfare , a $10 burner phone means thousands of dollars in costs and will eventually wear down the target.

Obama brings in a hundred thousand Muslims from a war zone and suddenly Jewish centers are under attack. Who woulda thunk it?

My conservative Jewish friends have remarked to me that as a Christian Protestant individual who isn't even religious...I am far more protective of our ally Israel and her citizens than most American Jewish people!

Never again means never again, and most of us are armed.

Nationwide CCW would do a lot to curb this.
