As anti-Semitic Acts Surge, U.S. Jewish Groups Take Security Into Their Own Hands

To cope with bomb threats and vandalism, community has created a national council headed by a homeland security official and tightened ties with FBI and local law enforcement – while advising fearful members of other faiths.

In 2004 a nonprofit called Secure Community Network was created by the Jewish Federations of North America and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. Last week SCN launched a national security advisory council, chaired by Alejandro Mayorkas, a former deputy secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Its goal: to strengthen ties between SCN and local, state and federal law enforcement agencies in their dealings with the U.S. Jewish community.

In a related move, Jewish communal leaders – including JFNA CEO Jerry Silverman, SCN director Paul Goldenberg and Posner of the JCCA – met on March 3 with FBI Director James Comey.

“Representatives of the Jewish community left with the highest confidence that the FBI is taking every possible measure to resolve the matter as quickly as possible,” said a statement issued afterward.

“This is a difficult case because of the technology,” the JCCA’s Posner said in an interview, about the telephone hoaxes. “Anything you can do with a computer you can do with a digitized phone system,” which is why those making the calls succeed in masking their voices and avoiding identification.

The American Jewish “community has had a very, very challenging two months,” said SCN’s Goldenberg.

Between January 1 and February 20, the SCN reported last week, there were 176 anti-Semitic hate incidents in 37 states – i.e., assaults, bomb threats, cyberattacks, vandalism and cemetery desecration. Many more incidents have since been added to that tally.
Goldenberg and SCN are currently focused on helping Jewish institutions ramp up their security protocols – for example, by improving communications systems so if someone notices something suspicious, like a person taking photos of a building, senior staff at other local Jewish institutions can be notified immediately via text or phone alerts.

While Jewish groups have taken security seriously since 9/11, more funding is being earmarked for this cause than ever before, in some cases, sources report.
A higher proportion of his synagogue’s budget is spent on security than in the past, confirms Steve Rabinowitz, a vice president of Washington, D.C.’s Congregation Adas Israel.

“The shul spends a great deal of money,” he said, to cover uniformed and plainclothes security officers, security cameras and other precautions.

Such activities started a while ago, “even before we had a Trump grandkid in the preschool,” adds Rabinowitz, referring to one of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s children. “It’s easy to say ‘err on the side of safety,’ but how do you know how much is enough? It’s money that could be spent on Jewish education. Those are tough decisions to make.”

According to Brenda Moxley, director of community security for the Miami-area Jewish community, “It’s a changing paradigm: Since 9/11 people in the community and the field of security in general have shifted to being more proactive rather than reactive.”

Moxley’s area includes 120 different organizations from day schools to JCCs to synagogues. Before being hired by the local Federation to launch her security office, Moxley was assistant special agent in charge of criminal investigations for the FBI’s Miami division.

Other minority groups are now looking to the U.S. Jewish community as a paradigm of success when it comes to handling security threats.
“There's no doubt the Jewish community is the best organized,” says SCN’s Goldenberg, who has recently advised black Christian congregations as well as Muslim and Sikh and Catholic groups.

The wave of anti-religious activities in North America has not spared other faiths, as illustrated by the January murder of six at a Quebec mosque, and recent arson attacks at three U.S. mosques.

White supremacists “use the same tropes” against all of us, says Salam al-Marayati, president of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, which began consulting with Goldenberg seven or eight years ago, when he was vice chair of the Homeland Security Department's Faith-based Communications and Security Advisory Committee.

On February 23, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo described a “recent explosion of anti-Semitism and hate crimes,” and announced a $25-million programs to fund security training and materials for institutions at risk.

However, Jewish communal leaders say more government funding is needed. Maury Litwack, director of Teach NYS (an advocacy group run by the Orthodox Union), lobbies for support and funding of yeshivas and day schools in New York State, in which some 150,000 pupils study, he says; some of the funds must cover security expenses.

Meanwhile, Jewish institutions aren't waiting for help and a growing number are hiring security directors like Moxley, in Miami. There are now 22 such officials around the country, says Goldenberg, and SCN is now hiring another six.
Training and education, and general awareness, are vital when it comes to security, says Moxley, adding, "People might think security is just getting more guards but it’s about having a plan.”

It was just that type of plan that allowed Los Angeles' Westside JCC to be safely evacuated last week.

As soon as the JCC receptionist who got the call realized what it was about, she called over a security guard, and together they listened on speakerphone. They tried in vain to get details from the caller, who declared that there was a bomb somewhere in the building.

When the call ended, the receptionist and security guard ran to inform director Greene; they called the police and then set in motion their evacuation plan, which was smoothly executed. About three hours later the building was declared safe; the next morning it opened for business as usual.
Greene says a bomb threat sparks deep emotional reactions: “This is harassment, this is intimidation, this is a hate crime. I felt personally attacked. No matter how much the rational self says there were 116 of these before and so this too is probably not real – at the time of the threat you feel like it really could be a bomb. Everything inside you is operating on adrenaline and fear."

But there was also an upside, he adds.

“There has been wonderful outreach from city and state leadership; we had a lovely call the next morning from a representative of the local Islamic community. The city attorney came this morning to say hello to parents as they arrived at school, just to show support. That’s been inspiring," says Greene, "something I wasn’t really expecting.”

Even Trump asked the rabbis what they were doing:

so.. put up security cams to bust their tribe members and their shitskin pets doing false flags?

this is the story of our lives.

How islamophobic!

These doctors just want to practise their peaceful religion by attacking intollerant temples.

Found something interesting, this guy organised the Toronto anti-trump protests.

Whoop, there it is. Of coarse it's about shekels.

If we deprive them of shekels, will they cry?

They always cry. But without shekels they cry even more. And louder.

Why do they always bring up David Duke?

Also don't direct link to Haaretz user

Maybe the influence they lost in the law enforcement apparatus are due to Obama leaving the white house? It could be a ploy to get them greater access/leverage to/of resources inside the DHS or some other agency they can cut the red tape from and abuse for various schemes?

So kikes/media are phoning in threats to them too? Trying to create a coalition of subversive shitheads?

Nope, more justification for the various crap they do to turn their neighborhoods into little Israel with security forces and tech.

They set up actual militias and no one bats an eye.

So just so you all know.

The only person they caught so far making bomb threats was a Negro journalist with a history of any white writings who was attempting to frame a woman that rejected him for it. It is unclear of her race, but it is written she was a sex interest of his.

So 1 caught so far, and it was confirmed a false flag. Expect the rest to be false flags, or frame ups too.

The kikeish tombstones "knocked over" in NYC turned out to be from normal wear-and-tear.

Aren't race militias illegal?
Like black panthers?

Jews are using the same One Weird Trick against themselves that they used against Tupac Shakur and other rappers confirmed by FBI files on Tupac Shakur released through FOIA and available online via the FBI Vault!, albeit with a different purpose. Let me explain.

Jews used to make death threat calls to Tupac Shakur and other rappers. The rapper would get scared - often with persistent nudging from their surrounding posse of kikes such as (((Jerry Heller))) where were in-the-know on the scheme - and would eventually come to the "independent" conclusion kek that the right move is to pay for private security detail. The surrounding kike squad would then rub their hands together and say, "I know just the perfect thing, let me make a few calls. Only the best security for you! It will not cost much, only a few thousands of dollars. But you are a rich and esteemed man and you can afford to pay a few hundreds of thousands for the best security. What is a few million dollars to a man like you?"

The Jewish Defense League NO JOKE THIS REALLY HAPPENED would then send over private detail in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

They pulled this trick on rapper after rapper, making millions.

Now, back to their own scheme. They are crank calling themselves so that they can have some kind of moral justification for maintaining their Fifth Column with their own Use of Force ("private security" probably provided through the Jewish Defense League).

My question is:

WHY THE FUCK IS NOBODY CALLING THEM OUT ON THEIR BULLSHIT???

Isn't protection racket what mafia does?

They're upfront about it at least. Mafiosos would wreck your place if you didn't pay them.

That's shitty enough, but these faggots are wimpy schemers. Frankly, I would prefer the Sopranos to the Goldbergs. The Italians were brutal but mostly kept to their own and fought one another.

Jewish vigilantism is an oxymoron

WHAT A COHENCIDENCE

What is their motive? Is it to launder their money (since they are paying themselves) or to get federal gibs somehow? Or is it just a scheme to generate the illusion of persecution using their affinity for theatrics?

My guess is they are doing it to prop up the persecution illusion, as it is one of their most potent weapons.

Or, as Alinsky would say, propping up a victimhood illusion in order to gain invincibility and special protected statuses and generate a false reality for gullible goyim is a "tactic that these people enjoy".
