* He perfectly knew that white gentile nationalists (a.k.a. Trump supporters) would be blamed. From that it follows that he wanted to harm them and the president they just elected.
In short, his motives were to harm Trump and white gentile nationalism in general, by creating a kind of blood libel against white gentiles.
* What you believe regarding his motives might be accurate from a Jewish nationalistic perspective where he wants to encourage Jews to move to Israel. It is however much much more likely that he was doing it for other reasons and cares very little about other Jews.
As for the Jerusalem police chief not mentioning his name yet, and practically all civilized nations, other than our own of course, some effort, small or large, is put into not publicizing the name of someone arrested but not yet charged.
* Let’s be honest: On a scale of 1 to 10, how surprised is anyone that this was done by a Jewish guy?
I’m sure some Jewish people are going to be ticked off at that remark, but let’s be honest. There has been an alleged large increase in anti-Semitic hate crimes since Trump has been elected. There have been four arrests: a 13 year old kid, a Jewish guy who spray painted swastikas on his own home, a black guy who made bomb threats because of whatever, and this Israeli American who apparently made the bulk of the calls. So the arrests are running 3:1 in favor of hate hoaxing.
Then there was cemetery vandalism. In the NY case, it has been rebutted by the cemetery itself: natural erosion and subsidence has caused the stones to topple, where they are left. In other cases, PHI and STL (for example), the evidence seems a bit more clearcut, but, at the same time, I don’t know of any arrests, and I don’t know of these desecrations being claimed by: (1) White Nationalists, (2) Honest to God Nazis, (3) Isis, (4) Muslims, (5) black people. I guess that leaves Asians and Latinos? However, in all fairness, I would suggest that it is reasonable to be skeptical about these desecrations, until, of course, someone is actually arrested.
There’s a little bit of “Crying wolf” at play here. It’s a certainty that there are a number of people who feel great hostility to Jews. It’s also a certainty that Jewish people in general tend to be very alert to signs of such hatred. But it’s very hard to tell how much of this is actual authentic anti-Semitic hate crimes and how much of it is hate hoax nonsense. Based on the arrest patterns so far, the preponderance of evidence is definitely in favor of hate hoaxes.
* The whole trope about Trump dog whistling to anti-semites has always sounded insanely odd considering as how his daughter and son-in-law with whom he is very close are Orthodox Jews, as are his grandchildren from his daughter.
* The Jews are playing with fire on many levels. This dual-loyalty, dual-citizenship stuff gets on people’s nerves. This so-called “American-Israeli dual citizen” schmuck who ran amok by allegedly calling in bomb threats to Jewish joints is not good for the Jews. People will begin to develop the habit of pattern recognition. Hate hoaxes will be seen as attacks on Whites and not just the criminal actions of individual non-Europeans.
The hate hoaxes coming from the Blacks, Muslims, Jews and others could lead the European Christian ancestral core of the USA to feel that they must stick together to defend their own interests. European Christians do it in Texas and the Southern states as I write; maybe more states in other regions will do the same if these damn irritating anti-White hate hoaxes keep up.
This particular hate hoax leads me to believe that the concept of the Jews as a hostile component of the American Empire’s ruling class has merit. It must also be said that the saturation coverage of these so-called “anti-Semitic” incidents in the corporate media makes a great example of the disproportionate Jewish power in the mass media. The Jews in the corporate propaganda apparatus were going on and on about this crap.
* Who wants to bet me that this guy won’t serve time?
Anyone else remember this mensch? Or this child rapist? or these hate-criminal Hasids?
They got to do their “community service” in kosher areas, meanwhile the guy who sent a strobe tweet to Kurt Either Wald is going to do hard Federal time for it.
* I don’t know anyone who heard the recording of this kid’s voice could possibly be surprised.
I don’t understand how Jewish newspapers couldn’t recognize that accent if I could. That’s why I was a little surprised that they kept pushing the “only horrible Nazis could think this was a false flag” narrative.
* Other possible motives:
1) He is a pro-Zionist Israeli who wanted to encourage American Jews to make aliyah.
2) He is an anti-Zionist/anti-settlements Israeli who saw Trump as favorable to the settler movement and wanted to derail any American Jew/Trump alliance.
3) He was thoroughly delusional and his motives were incoherent.
4) He’s just an angry 19 year old who wanted to break shit, and this was the prank he stumbled upon.
* The Anne Frank Center blames Antisemitism:
“We have received a number of Antisemitic messages this morning in response to the arrest in Israel of a Jewish young man as the suspect in a number of bomb threats to Jewish institutions in the United States and elsewhere. The theme of the Antisemitic messages has been this: See, it’s your people, Jews, who were responsible. One message to our organization said a “white” person was not responsible. Such vitriol requires us to respond further: Hate is hate, and our nation had the right to expect this Administration to respond to hate with urgency every time. Our organization, like others, had to pull teeth to get a governmental response to the bomb threats and other desecration. Almost every time, we never got responses. The religion of a suspect doesn’t matter. The hateful acts were the same, and the lack of governmental responses along the way were the same. Moreover, we will not tolerate using today’s arrests as a pretext for more Antisemitism or other hate. To point to the religion of one depraved individual, and use that as a pretext for hate against an entire religion, is immoral and unacceptable, and those who engage in such arguments should be ashamed of their own prejudice.”
* Berkeley law lecturer David Schraub wrote a few weeks ago: “Trump’s terrifying ‘false flag’ comments on anti-Semitism are no different in kind than talk of the Holocaust as a Zionist conspiracy or 9/11 as a Mossad covert op”
Yes, the Jew Who Called in Bomb Threats Was Anti-Semitic
Being Jewish doesn’t immunize a person from being anti-Semitic. It just fuses their bigotry with betrayal.
… The ADL was absolutely right when it said, in response to the arrest: “These were acts of anti-Semitism. These threats targeted Jewish institutions, were calculated to sow fear and anxiety, and put the entire Jewish community on high alert.” That he was Jewish is utterly irrelevant—if anything, this is a fantastic illustration of how Jews can commit anti-Semitic acts.
Do they have a word for this kind of Talmudic chutzpah?
From his blog in January:
“In what appears to be a coordinated pattern, numerous Jewish Community Centers around the country were hit with bomb threats today.
… these things didn’t happen until something changed in our political culture, and it’s no mystery what that “something” is. The rise of Donald Trump’s brand of rabid right-wing resentment threatens Jews a huge range of Americans of diverse backgrounds and heritages. There should be no illusion anymore that Jews will somehow be immune from the wave that’s coming.”
But today, that the hoaxer was an Israeli Jew is “utterly irrelevant” he says.
“[Schaub’s] research and teaching interests are in the areas of constitutional and anti-discrimination law, law and religion, and energy law. In particular, David’s research considers the non-legal effects of legal decisions, including how judicial rulings affect the social meaning of concepts such as “equality,” “due process”, and “discrimination”.”
* According to Gavin de Becker, author of the excellent book The Gift of Fear, virtually NO actual bombings are preceded by bomb threats, the exception being some of the bombings carried out by the IRA.
