A suspect was arrested in Miami, Florida Wednesday after he allegedly threatened to “explode the Jewish community” living in the area; raising new concerns of rising anti-Semitism throughout the country.
“Jorge Rucinqu, 26, reportedly made the threatening calls to the Bagel Time Cafe on Alton Road,” reports CBS Miami. “The woman who took the calls, fearing for her safety, contacted the police. She said the caller never identified himself and ‘continued to intimidate the victim because she is Jewish.’”
“Rucinque also admitted targeting the Jewish community by searching online for the terms ‘Jews’ and ‘kosher,’” adds the article.
The arrest comes days after a gunman opened fire at a Synagogue outside San Diego, California; killing one and injuring three others during Passover holiday services.

Recently sworn-in Rep. Rashida Tlaib blasted GOP Rep. Steve Scalise Wednesday evening; accusing the lawmaker of “Islamophobia” after he demanded Ilhan Omar be removed from the Foreign Affairs Committee for her anti-Semitic statements.
“Hard to watch Rep. Scalise demand that Rep. @IlhanMN be removed from House Foreign Affairs w/o wondering if it’s steeped in Islamophobia. Ilhan is more than capable of sitting on the committee & making decisions that are in the best interests of her constituents & all Americans,” posted Tlaib on social media.

Women’s March founder Tamika Mallory doubled-down on her previous comments regarding controversial Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan this week; calling the notorious anti-Semite “the greatest of all time.”
