Bomb threats called in to at least 10 JCCs in fourth round of harassment

Source: Jewish Telegraphic Agency

At least 10 Jewish community centers across the United States were targeted with bomb threats on Monday, for the fourth time in five weeks.

The threats have been called in to JCCs across the country, according to 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.

News reports indicated that threats were received by JCCs in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin; St. Paul, Minnesota; Houston, Texas; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Buffalo, New York; and Birmingham, Alabama.

The threats were called in on Monday morning. It is not known if they were live calls or recorded.

You're more likely to be killed by a radical white nationalist terrorist or a guy with a gun than you are an Islamic one.

...it seemed that at least once a month they received a bomb threat and had to evacuate the entire building.

Sick people out there.
