A leftist former reporter was just arrested for a small portion of the Jewish Community Center bomb threats. The hoax threats were apparently part of a scheme to harass and frame a woman. This can all seem very confusing, but it really isn’t. Some simple takeaways:

1. The left and right have elements in their communities who like attacking Jews, but many on both sides prefer to blame the other.

2. Anti-Semitism is bad even when it can’t be blamed on your political opponents. The sooner we recognize this, the better off we’ll be.

3. There is no situation where making bomb threats to Jewish preschools is not anti-Semitic. Harassing Jews as a prop is anti-Semitic.

4. People often act out their problems on Jews. That Jews are so often the target of the personal pathologies of others is precisely why anti-Semitism has been so potent. This is just the latest example.

5. The left needs to reckon with the fact that such people are in their midst. The right needs to reckon with the fact that many of Trump’s backers are anti-Semitic and one bigoted leftist hoax doesn’t change that.
