1026.0. "Terrorism at home" by CIMNET::TOBIN_D () Fri Jan 18 1991 19:55

    My daughter attend the Rashi school in Newton.  The school has just
    been evacuated because of a bomb threat.
    
    G-d protect us from Saddam and from all the crazies here as well.

1026.1It's happening everywhereGRANPA::AFRYDMANFri Jan 18 1991 20:539
    There was a bomb threat at my daughters' school ,Bais Yaakov, this past
    weekend.  There are also new security guards at my sons' Yeshivah.
    
    Unfortunately, we are all (westerners/Jews/anti-Iraq Arabs) potential
    victims to terrorists.
    
    Shabbat Shalom,

1026.3QUOKKA::SNYDERWherever you go, there you areFri Jan 18 1991 21:297
    When I went to pick up my son from Hebrew School on Tuesday, the doors
    were locked.  I  knocked and someone called out from the inside for me
    to identify myself.  They had also received calls.  Joshua has not gone
    back.  Maybe I'm overly paranoid, but I'd never forgive myself if
    anything were to happen.  This is at Temple Shalom in Colorado Springs.

1026.4NJ - and since when is IBM Jewish?NYEM1::MILBERGI was a DCC - 3 jobs ago!Sat Jan 19 1991 05:4910
    My wife, who works for Federation MetroWest (Northern NJ) has, happily,
    told me that they have hired security guards and are going to issue
    id badges.
    
    An interesting aside - a friend, who's law office is in the IBM
    building in West Orange, told me tonight that they had two bomb threats
    to the building today!

1026.5Acton too...ICS::WAKYOnward, thru the Fog...Mon Jan 21 1991 16:2214
The local (Acton, Ma) police notified us on Thurs that large signs stating
"Jews - Get out of Concord" were posted all over downtown Concord (Ma) and
that they suggested we "be aware".  They advised that any large publically
announced gathering be postponed and they searched the building for how good
our security was.  For a while at least, they requested that they be allowed
to sit in their squad cars outside during all services and Hebrew school
sessions (fortunately, because of Martin Luther King Day, school was closed
for Sun and Mon).  They have arranged a meeting of all personnel with key
access to the building to go over some security considerations, with a special
message about never staying inside alone without locking yourself in.

Kinda real scarey and very close.

1026.6Vandalism in NashuaWORDY::STEINHARTMon Jan 21 1991 17:481
    We've had broken windows at Temple Beth Abrham in Nashua.
1026.7EQUITY::GREENLong Live the Duck!!!Mon Jan 21 1991 21:025
    
    We had a visiter with a package for the Bar-Mitzvah (We
    did not have a Bar Mitzvah this week)!!!  
    
    This is rediculous!
1026.8And today in Concord...WISDOM::ROSENBERGDick Rosenberg VRO5-1/D7Tue Jan 22 1991 15:4913
    I'm not sure what to make of this (as it can be interpreted a number of
    ways AND, I saw it only briefly as I was in my car at the time), but
    today in Concord Center (MA), there were a group of peace
    demonstrators. They had the signs you would expect to see from a group
    of peace demonstrators the last week or so ("Support the troops, Bring
    Them Home", "No Blood for Oil", etc.) except for  one fellow. He
    was standing at the edge of the group and carried a sign that read, "No
    Blood for Yitzhak" (Yitzhak being written in large, red letters, while
    the rest of the sign was in smaller letters and in black.)
    
    Whatever the interpretation/motivation, it's upsetting.

There's an article in today's Boston Globe about anti-war groups being
infiltrated by anti-Semites like the Liberty Lobby, Lyndon LaRouche and
Louis Farrakhan.
