In case you thought this was only a Black or Muslim issue….
From Isabel Kershner, Alan Blinder and Adam Goldman’s article in today’s New York Times:
The police on Thursday arrested an Israeli teenager who holds American citizenship in connection with scores of threats to Jewish institutions, including dozens of community centers in the United States, law enforcement officials said.
A spokesman for the police here, Micky Rosenfeld, said the suspect, from the Ashkelon area of southern Israel, had also made threats to institutions in Australia and New Zealand, as well as to at least one commercial airline flight, forcing an emergency landing.
“This is the guy we are talking about,” Mr. Rosenfeld said.
The authorities did not immediately identify the teenager, who they said was Jewish and 19. Other reports put his age at 18. He was expected to appear in court later Thursday.
Is this a childish “prank” by a smartass teenager?: Is it an intentional setup by an activist with an agenda? Is it a series of serious threats by a self-hater? We don’t know, at least not yet.
But what we do know is that it proves Jew, along with everyone else, are perfectly capable of this kind of insanity – and that we make a huge mistake to single out one or two groups while convincing ourselves other groups are immune.
