A member of an offshoot of the Jewish Defense League — designated by the FBI as a "known violent extremist organization" — was allegedly building explosive devices to target the home of Nerdeen Kiswani in a chilling act of political violence. The defendant reportedly planned to flee to Israel following the attack. This comes amid an alarming rise in threats and violence across the country targeting Palestinian human rights advocates. I am thankful that the NYPD and FBI thwarted this plot, which could have endangered Nerdeen’s life and those of other New Yorkers. Let me be clear: We will not tolerate violent extremism in our city. No one should face violence for their political beliefs or their advocacy. I am relieved that Nerdeen is safe. Our city must meet hate with solidarity, and meet fear with an unshakable commitment to justice and to one another.

🧵"We'll bring down the authority of evil and terror known as the PA. We will erase the lines and definitions and the letters [A, B, C areas]. We'll settle our land in all its territory." Last Sunday, at the funeral of Hilltop Youth Yehuda Shmuel Sherman, Bezalel Smotrich gave a eulogy and promised to "erase the letters". He was referring to the ongoing state-backed campaign of establishing terrorist settler outposts also in Areas A and B, which are supposedly under the civil control of the Palestinian Authority. In fact, a new sub-movement of the Hilltop Youth, titled "Kingdom of Judea", has emerged in recent days, aimed specifically at establishing those new terrorist outposts and erasing the lines between Areas A, B, and C, as was, according to the eulogies, the dead terrorist's vision. This post will turn into a running thread once I translate and post some more genocidal eulogies from Sherman's funeral.

Personally, if I didn’t want protesters outside my house of worship, I would probably not auction off other people’s land inside my house of worship.
