Anti-Defamation League Receives Bomb Threat at National Headquarters in NYC

btThe following is via Breaking911.com:

An anonymous bomb threat was called into the Anti-Defamation League’s headquarters in New York City on Wednesday, part of a rash of bomb threats to Jewish centers throughout the country.

The threat was called into ADL’s Murray Hill headquarters at about 11:08 a.m. on Wednesday, according to police.

“Today the ADL’s national headquarters in New York received an anonymous bomb threat,” ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said in a statement. “While there is no information at this time to indicate that this is more than a threat, we are taking it very seriously.”

Greenblatt said the civil rights group is working with law enforcement officials to determine if the threat is connected to a recent spate of bomb threats targeting Jewish community centers around the nation.

At least 11 JCCs in 10 states received threatening phone calls on Monday. It was the fourth series of such messages this year. About 70 threats have been aimed at almost 60 JCCs in 27 states and one Canadian province since Jan. 1.

It remains unclear who is making the threats or if they are coming from a single person or a group.

The FBI and the Department of Justice have said they are “investigating possible civil rights violations in connection with the threats.”

    If true, which I highly doubt, it couldn’t of happened to a better fake Organization which has done absolutely NOTHING to “combat” the alleged serious threat of Anti Semitism in this Country. What concrete steps have they taken to stem the tide?

    The Torah in this week’s parasha in fact, states ?? ????? ?? ?? ???. There is no stipulation as to whether the Jew wears a shtreimel,a black hat, a kippa srugah, or is even shomer Shabbos. The comments by some are not within the confines of Daas Torah and yiddishkeit, be very careful.
