The “rising tide of antisemitism” panic machine just ran into one of the facts it would rather bury.
Florida prosecutors seek a significant prison term for Israeli Michael Ron David Kadar, convicted of making *thousands of hoax threats* against Jewish community centers, schools, and airlines.
Michael Ron David Kadar, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen from Ashkelon, was already convicted in Israel over a campaign of thousands of fake bomb threats targeting Jewish community centers, schools, hospitals, airports, airlines, and other institutions. Times of Israel reported in 2018 that he admitted to roughly 2,000 hoax calls, including threats against JCCs, and told police he “liked to see people running around in panic.”
Now Kadar has been extradited to the United States and arraigned in Orlando on federal charges tied to bomb and active-shooter threats against Jewish institutions in Florida, including community centers and preschool programs.
The Justice Department says the calls forced evacuations, lockdowns, and emergency responses. No explosives were found.
The fear industry never wants to sit with the facts: threats used to justify surveillance, censorship, militarized policing, and sweeping accusations against Israel’s critics have, in one of the most infamous cases, been traced back to an Israeli-American hoaxer.
Every accusation is a confession.
