Exactly! Even if you know that there’s not likely a bomb. Even if you know that the people making threats are largely impotent cowards. Even if the reality is that much of this is just activated hateful rhetoric, it’s still terrorizing on a base level. When there’s even a smallest chance of the safety of infants and innocents being compromised, it is terrifying on some fundamental level.
And it doesn’t matter if it’s a JCC, or a synagogue, or a mosque, or a black church, or whatthefuckever.
And the really frustrating part for me is that this is honestly all so petty. So you hate Jews for some imagined conspiracy that makes you feel better about not achieving whatever. So? I hate assholes who risk other people’s safety by speeding and swerving across multiple lanes on the freeway. I don’t track them down and call bomb threats to their work/church/schools. I honestly just hope that they make it to wherever they’re going safely, and especially don’t hurt anyone else in the process.
I don’t care who you are, but you’re an idiot if you don’t realize that we’re all in this together, and it’s a giant cooperative effort.
