OCCUPIED AL-QUDS: Israel’s arrest of a Jewish teenager accused of masterminding dozens of anti-Semitic threats could encourage racism and ease pressure on US President Donald Trump to tackle anti-Semitism, Jewish groups have warned.
Far-right groups claimed vindication that attacks previously blamed on rightwingers and alleged hatred resulting from Trump’s election may actually have been carried out by a young Jewish American Israeli.
Jewish organisations and Israeli media said the arrest was likely to boost conspiracy theories, while others worried it would weaken responses to a rise in anti-Semitic attacks in the US.
More details emerged on Friday about the suspect, who holds dual Israeli American citizenship, though identifying details are subject to a gag order.
He was arrested on Thursday in Israel and accused of making dozens of anti-Semitic bomb threats in the United States and elsewhere, including one against a major airline.
His lawyer said he is 18 and suffers a brain tumour that may cloud his judgement.
His health prevented him attending public school or doing mandatory military service, she said.
Over the past two to three years, Israeli police said he carried out a ****** of hoax threats from his family home in southern Israel.
In February 2015, he is alleged to have made a bomb threat against Delta Airlines, forcing a plane to carry out an emergency landing.
"In a short time, a large number of Jews are going to be slaughtered. Their heads are going to be blown off," one of the threats read, according to a recording obtained by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
Israel’s Haaretz newspaper said Friday the net started to tighten after a threat in New Zealand in 2016, with police identifying the IP address as originating from Israel.
Using an antenna, the suspect allegedly accessed other people’s computers to commit the crimes, the newspaper said, leading police to question a number of in**cent suspects before eventually netting him.
His alleged motive remains unk**wn.
His father has also been arrested, with their next court hearing set for March 30.
The discussion on Friday turned to the impact of the arrests, with Trump’s response to anti-Semitism at the forefront.
More than 150 threats have been carried out against Jewish institutions in America since the start of the year. At some locations swastikas were scrawled on walls and cemeteries desecrated.
