Bomb threats at multiple Jewish Community Centers in US

Just read this on twitter. Can anyone confirm?

1. There was a round of this a couple/three weeks ago. 22 centers IIRC.

Are you seeing something new or is it possibly old news ?

2. Mosques being burned, JCCs getting bomb threats ... this is all being orchestrated imo

to justify the Muslim ban and probably "another chance to get Iraqi oil", as trump hinted at.

3. Boulder, Albany, Syracuse, Salt Lake City and New Haven, this morning.

6. The stink of Bannon is all around.

They just take classic Rove/Republican tactics and add the threat of explosives.

7. As we all look at the POTUS and admin with horror and disbeleif

Sickeningly there is a significant segment of the population that have cheered him on and have become even further emboldened in their expressions of hate and bigotry.

Sadly, there is a larger group than I ever would have imagined that embrace the idea of make "America White (and Christian) again"

8. Three weeks running.

By my count (without looking at other articles), the number of states affected now stands at 17.

ETA: Jewish Centers In Several States Targeted With Bomb Threats (Jan. 9)

Jewish centres across US evacuated after hoax bomb threats Jan. 19 (On DU)

At least 17 bomb threats called in to JCCs nationwide in third wave of harassment Today

From that article: On Jan. 18, some 30 Jewish institutions in at least 17 states received bomb threats. On Jan. 9, such threats were called into 16 JCCs across the Northwest and South, forcing the evacuation of hundreds. (I have a good memory! But, apparently we are both wrong, it is 20 states!)

New York, Utah, Connecticut, Massachusetts, California, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, Maryland, Delaware, Michigan, Maine, Ohio, Missouri, Texas and Kansas.
