Trump concerned about attacks on Jewish cemeteries: White House

There have also been acts of vandalism at Jewish cemeteries.

The incident played out shortly after the Siegel JCC on Garden of Eden Road in Wilmington, Delaware was evacuated, New Castle County Police said.

Police responded, and children and staff were evacuated from the building.

The rash of bomb threats came a day after about a hundred headstones at a Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia were vandalized.

After another wave of bomb threats across the country this week, a Jewish federation is calling for action against bigotry, while a Jewish community center is encouraging members to keep moving forward with their lives.

About 60 Jewish community centers and schools have received almost 70 bomb threats since January 9. “Since the start of 2017, we have witnessed almost 90 bomb threats being called into Jewish institutions – including one recently to ADL’s national headquarters”.

On Monday, two Hudson Valley Jewish Community Centers and two others across the state were targeted in the most recent round of bomb threats.

He said Sessions told the group that the overall crime rate is up and that “we need to go back to what worked 20 or 30 years ago”. “We will have an update once law enforcement completes their investigation”, read a message late Monday morning on the JCC Indianapolis website.

Malkus said that the goal of the incidents is “raise tension and anxiety in the community, and unfortunately that’s what happens when you have these threats”.

Last week’s wave of attacks on Jewish institutions put pressure on President Donald Trump to condemn anti-Semitism, which he did, albeit in vague terms.

“Hopefully he’ll clarify a bit more about what he means about the reverse possibly being true”, Shapiro said.

“He wants to make sure these incidents do not continue”.
