A white supremacist group is calling for a “National Day of Hate” this Saturday on the Jewish Sabbath and encouraging anti-Semites to vandalize and deface Jewish institutions. Via JTA.org:

Information about the antisemitic campaign was first provided by the Chicago Police Department, and a “situational awareness alert” with NYPD insignia circulating online advises local Jewish communities to be on the lookout for suspicious activity.

Law enforcement and security agencies in the Chicago and New York City areas, however, say that as of Thursday afternoon, there are no known concrete threats to Jewish institutions. The NYPD did not comment on the authenticity of the bulletin with its seal but told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, “While there are no identified threats to New York City, out of an abundance of caution, the Department will deploy additional resources to sensitive locations, including houses of worship, throughout the weekend.”

The Chicago Police Department said in a statement this week, “At this time, there is no actionable intelligence.” And a report from the Secure Community Network, a national group that coordinates security for Jewish institutions, said, “It should be noted, online chatter surrounding the campaign has remains limited and we assess, as in the past, this will not likely be a widespread event.”

You know how these groups operate. Attacks don't have to be organized! They simply hope to activate at least one crazy person with guns -- stochastic terrorism. Then it's "who, me?"

According to the Anti-Defamation League, the campaign is being pushed by a small white supremacist group in Iowa called Crew-319, in conjunction with other extremist groups. The ADL confirmed that the hate message in the NYPD bulletin is authentic and comes from Crew-319’s channel on the social network Telegram, which is popular with extremists.
