We fight, We win
More than 50 synagogues across the state of Florida were forced to evacuate their premises on Tuesday after all of them received bomb threats via email.
The threats were sent to Jewish houses of worship in Miami, Broward County, Palm Beach County and elsewhere, but were swiftly determined to be harmless after police bomb squad sweeps and evacuations that worried synagogue staff, campers and their parents.
It’s not the first round of antisemitic hate faced by Florida synagogues. A cyber attack by the Team System DZ hacker group on a Plantation synagogue last September filled the homepage of Temple Kol Ami Emanuel’s website with hateful messages. The FBI is investigating.
Paul Morris, 26, was arrested Tuesday in Boca Raton (Palm Beach County) on accusations of posting threats on social media. He is charged with writing threats of mass shootings or terrorism. It’s not clear, however, whether he has any connection with the serial bomb threats, or is suspected of other antisemitic hate crimes online.
It’s also not the first round of antisemitic hate faced by Florida’s individual Jewish residents.
