‘A Jewish hit list’: Antisemitic mapping project seen as incitement to violence in Massachusetts
Boston Globe ^ | June 15, 2022 | Mike Damiano

Posted on 11/08/2023 6:21:48 AM PST by SJackson

On Friday June 3, as the Jewish holiday weekend of Shavuot began, an unusual website appeared: It showed a map of Massachusetts chock-full of dots interconnected by multicolored lines, like the corkboard of an overzealous detective or, perhaps, a conspiracy theorist.

Each dot represented an institution — a school, a corporation, a police department, a nonprofit — and the lines showed their ties to one another and to Jewish organizations or philanthropists. The institutions and their purported relationships were highlighted, the Mapping Project’s anonymous creators wrote, “so we can dismantle them.”

In the Boston-area Jewish community, the Mapping Project has been met with alarm. After fatal shootings at synagogues beyond Boston in recent years and arsons and a stabbing of a rabbi closer to home, Jewish leaders view the map as, at best, a provocation and, at worst, an incitement to violence.

“The map serves as a Jewish hit list,” said Robert Trestan, the head of the New England chapter of the Anti-Defamation League. His level of concern about the website compared to other threats he has assessed is “extremely high,” he said. Trestan, like dozens of other Jewish leaders, philanthropists, and rabbis, is personally named on the map, alongside the address of his place of work.

The map’s creators have shielded their identity. When the web address was purchased, the buyer’s identity was not publicly recorded. The website describes the group as “a multi-generational collective of activists and organizers.” Organizations were included on the map, they wrote, because of their complicity in “the colonization of Palestine.”

Shortly after the website went live, Boston BDS, an anti-Israel group, promoted it on social media. Other left-wing groups, including Massachusetts Peace Action, a Cambridge antiwar nonprofit, soon followed.

As the map came to wider attention,... elected officials and Massachusetts leaders denounced it.

It's been over a year and no incidents specifically from the map so no harm, no foul. Besides with terrorists entering our southern border they need something to familiarize themselves with potential targets. Look for this valuable information in other cities. And other topics. Concealed carry holders or gun owners. Trump donors, public info, could be easily mapped.

“collective, activists and organizers”

All left-wing jargon. Basically a dog-whistle to other Leftists to get to work on ‘addressing’ these venues.

You would think that the DOJ would be “all over this” and spending millions to root out the individuals responsible...but NO!!! They are more concerned about shielding the Biden Crime Family and attacking Trump.

It really should not be too hard to locate the servers from which this web site originates. The FBI has shown that it is quite efficient at tracking Catholics who like the Latin mass, parents who speak at school board meetings and MAGA voters. Wonder if they in this Biden era of open borders have the ability or disposition to stop and prevent overt anti Semitic violence.

What if they're in on it? Remember a little article about two months ago about an Iranian spy asset in thr US government?

The website describes the group as “a multi-generational collective of activists and organizers.”

Collective....the term pretty much screams “leftwing nuts.”

UK politician Gorgeous George Galloway had an event in Boston some years ago fundraising for his “Viva Palestina” convoy to Gaza. Took a bunch of terrorists with him on that convoy, too.

Probably the same people involved now as then, plus some new blood from the universities.

Different, but obviously there’s no interest in that even from white supremacists or we’d have seen it on the front page of most papers. MAGA donors might be popular, that’s public information. Illegal to compile it like that I believe but the Biden administration won’t care. This reminds me of the “accidental” leaks of concealed carry permit holders. Of course they take those down in a day or two.

the head of the New England chapter of the Anti-Defamation League.

The head of a leftist hate group is whining about hateful leftists.

The irony is thick around here.

Connect the dots and it forms a star of David. It was in a Nazi propaganda film. (clip of it (featuring 6 German cities) was shown on A&E or History Channel maybe)
