For the fourth time this year, Jewish Community Centers have been on the receiving end of bomb threats.

There have been 69 incidents at 54 JCCs in 27 states and one Canadian province, according to the JCC Association of North America. All threats were determined to be hoaxes.

Oh well, because they were all false alarms that makes it ok now doesn’t it? No, it does not. Whomever is spearheading this wave of hatred towards the JCC’s and American Jews across the United States needs to be found and stopped before one of those so-called hoaxes ends up being the real thing and people, including children who attend JCC preschools, get hurt.

Especially since another wave of bomb threats were called into 11 JCC centers on President’s Day 2017. Not only that, but they carried their hatred over into the ugly desecration of a historic cemetery in a inner suburb of St. Louis called University City. Well over 170 headstones in the oldest part of the Chesed Shel Emeth Cemetery were vandalized on Monday.
