Things have changed: White supremacists cite Trump in bomb threat targeting Muslim students

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/03/things-have-changed-white-supremacists-cite-trump-in-bomb-threat-targeting-muslim-students/

On Wednesday morning, two buildings at Concordia University’s downtown campus in Montreal were evacuated after several media outlets received an email threatening to target Muslim students at the college by setting off bombs, the Montreal Gazette reported.

Montreal police are investigating the matter, and police spokesperson Benoit Boisselle said the department does not yet know “whether the threat is founded.” The email making the threat was written by a group that called itself the Council of Conservative Citizens of Canada (C4).

The Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC) is a U.S.-based white supremacist group that was founded in 1985 as a spinoff of the White Citizens Councils of the 1950s and 1960s that fought school desegregation, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

“Things have changed,” now that President Donald Trump has taken office in the U.S., according to the email. The email comes as 101 bomb threats have been recorded, targeting Jewish institutions across the United States in 33 states so far.

Being "pro-Israel" doesn't mean someone is a "pro-Jewish". It is conflating of two different things, though there is a relationship. It is no different than claiming someone who is anti-Israel is anti-Semitic, though some are on both sides of the political fence. People use their "love" of Israel to imply they "love" Jews too, in the same way many spew venom and lies about Israel to mask their hate of Jews.
