PARKLAND, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2023 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — A bomb threat made to Kol Tikvah Synagogue in Parkland Thursday morning is leading a police response as of 8 a.m.
According to information provided to BocaNewsNow.com, the Broward Sheriff’s Office is on the scene and investigating the situation. Kol Tikvah is both a traditional Synagogue and a pre-school/early learning center. While school is closed for students who attend Kol Tikvah, a “winter camp” is in session, according to Kol Tikvah’s website.
The method of “bomb threat” was also unclear — whether it was called in, emailed, texted, or a suspicious package was sent through the mail.
Synagogues and other religious institutions have been on the receiving end of bomb threats, suspicious packages, and “SWATTING” incidents lately where police are called to diffuse a standoff that is not actually happening, resulting in a massive ‘SWAT’ response. Check back for updates.
Between MAGA-fueled white Christian nationalists and some far-left Progressives, it’s hard to be Jewish.
And this is why you don’t make articles criticizing Jewish people because it goes and encourages people to engage in these type of activities.
