Andrew McCabe on 300% Rise of Anti-Semitism Since 2019: Oct. 7th Is a Point of Radicalization for Many People Like Boulder Attacker

RUSH EXCERPT:

MCCABE: “Not really. Not really. I mean, realistically, every person who overstays a tourist visa doesn‘t come on the radar of either local law enforcement or federal law enforcement. It‘s not traditionally been the sort of thing that certainly the FBI or other law enforcement partners have been, have been focused on. If that person has not done something else, they haven‘t been involved in criminal activity or come up in intelligence reporting. As someone who might be extreme. But I think really important thing here, Anderson, is to point out that number that you quoted, that 9000 plus number of anti-Semitic acts in 2024 is about 5% higher than the number that we experienced in 2023. So that‘s a in any two years, that‘s a pretty big jump. But if you go back to 2019, the number from 24 is over 300% higher than the number from 2019. So you can‘t really even get your mind around how significant October 7th is as a as a point of radicalization for people like this person and others who would be inclined to follow their extremist beliefs and take action by by inflicting violence upon the Jewish community, it is we are off the charts in terms of threats to this community, and we really need to be doing everything, everything possible to limit.”
