Bomb threat reported at 2 Jewish community centers in Orange County

...

Police are comparing the calls and trying to trace them back to the person—or people—who made them. Right now, they say neither rises to the level of a hate crime.

....(East 56th Street I believe, it was back 30 years ago) They had bomb threats just about once a month and had to evacuate the entire high rise office building each time.

Thankfully nothing was ever found.

...yet politically, they are in lock-step with Netenyahu/Sheldon Adelson right wing policies. Talk about strange bed fellows.
