Nearly 50 bomb threats have been received by Jewish community organizations in the US since the start of the year, in a climate of rising antisemitism nationwide. The calls have come in clusters, Jarvis said, with the last on Tuesday 31 January causing evacuations at 14 Jewish community centers (JCCs). So far none of the threats have been substantiated and law enforcement agencies have not identified any suspects. “There’s going to be a bloodbath that’s going to take place in a short time. “Bomb threats are most often a tactic to disrupt operations and cause fear and panic,” Jarvis said.
