So, what we know: Mamdanis NYPD is infiltrating Jewish chat groups to protect Palestinian domestic terrorists NY government will continue to actively oppose Zionism. Zionists are unsafe in NYC. We urge Zionists to evacuate New York. Betar has no presence and does not operate in New York. Naturally we have had no contact with law enforcement on this matter. Nerdeen Kiswani is a dangerous jihadi.
The JDL, a Zionist terrorist organization, is openly threatening me and my child, saying they’re watching us and will “make sure we don’t exist” in the US. I take these threats seriously because I remember the JDL assassinated Palestinian activist Alex Odeh in California in 1985
A New Jersey man suspected of being a Jewish extremist was arrested and charged with plotting an attack on the home of a prominent Palestinian rights activist. on.wsj.com/4lYrNQb
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.
