New Bomb Threats Against Jewish Community Centers Across US Raise Alarms

NBC News

Jewish community centers around the country were again targeted with bomb threats Wednesday morning, a week after a spate of similar threats against many centers.

Centers in Miami, Newton, Massachusetts, Scotch Plains, New Jersey, California’s Bay Area, and Portland, Maine, were targeted. Two centers in Connecticut, one at the JCC of Greater New Haven in Woodbridge and another at The Mandell JCC West Hartford, also reported receiving bomb threats.  

Threats were made to at least seven JCCs in Florida, New Jersey, Delaware, Tennessee and North Carolina last week.

Marla Cohen, communications manager for the New-York based, JCC Association of North America said that 28 centers in 17 states have been threatened in total on Wednesday. Last week, there were 16 JCCs threatened in nine states. She said some of the threats came in as robo dialers and some were actual people. Last week, the FBI was called in, she said.

A JCC building in Marin County, California, was also evacuated as a precaution after a threat.

“We don’t know what’s going on. There are a lot of unknowns,”  Jeremy Russell, of the Jewish Community Relations Council in San Francisco told NBC Bay Area. “We are very concerned about the existence of these calls and the literal threat they are imposing on the community. We will be responding appropriately.”

There were no injuries or actual explosives reported found following the earlier bomb threats.

“I think this is the world we now live in,” said Molly Jo Rosen, who works at Kol Shofar synagogue in Tiburon, California. “There will be threats to religious organizations and we’ll see it skewed toward certain religions more than others.”

  1. A bit of credibility problem here?–Israel is just now setting up a ‘star wars missile ‘ system and Ole, we have vague threats of indeterminate scope with no sources ever mentioned —lol—and all in the US, their biggest funding machine ever-devised……
    After all, when your spending US taxpayers money in the trillions (over 40 years) and only are fired upon when (you-Israelis politicians) threatening those weaker, who actually are the true inhabitants—then false flags events…are as common as phony 2-state negotiations have been stages for 50 years…..Pathetic..Especially since..innocent civilians were/are the target (what are Palestinians referred to as?). Oh, yes….rats by anti-racists Israelis, bad if it weren’t so evil…

  3. “There were no injuries or actual explosives reported found following the earlier bomb threats.”

    Unnecessary… the mere HINT of violence against the ‘Chosenites’ is enough to send their adoring minions into a tizzy.

    “There will be threats to religious organizations and we’ll see it skewed toward certain religions more than others.”

    The one it will be TOTALLY ‘skewed toward’ above all others…

    Christianity.
