    However, the building is used by the Israelite School of Universal and Practical Knowledge which has been labeled and [sic] anti-semitic hate group.

      To be fair who would have guessed that a building with that name host an anti-semitic group?? She’s an idiot but I wouldn’t say this misunderstanding is evidence of that.

      INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD officers arrested a woman, who they labeled a “terrorist,” after she drove her car into a building that she thought was a Jewish school.

      However, the building is used by the Israelite School of Universal and Practical Knowledge which has been labeled and anti-semitic hate group.

      Ruba Almaghtheh, 34, was arrested on a preliminary charge of criminal recklessness. Mugshot of Ruba Almaghtheh, courtesy of IMPD.

      According to a police report obtained by FOX59/CBS4, police were called to the building around 11:30 Friday night to investigate a hate crime. Officers said Almaghtheh backed her car into the building while several adults and children were inside.

      Almaghtheh told officers she was watching news coverage of the Israel-Hamas war on television and decided to plan an attack on the building because she was offended by the “Hebrew Israelite” symbol on the front of the building.

      Police said Almaghtheh passed by the building a couple times and called it the “Israel school.”

      IMPD said she made reference to “her people back in Palestine” and told officers, “Yes. I did it on purpose.”

      However, the Anti-Defamation League defines the Israelite School of Universal and Practical Knowledge as an “extreme and antisemitic” sect of the Black Hebrew Israelites. The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated the Black Hebrew Israelites as a hate group.

      In a statement released Sunday night, the Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis reported that Safe Indiana, a Jewish community security program, was immediately notified of the incident. Safe Indiana is working alongside law enforcement to investigate the incident.

      “Safety and security for our community is of the utmost importance, and we are more secure and prepared than ever before,” Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis officials wrote in a press release. “Although a Jewish facility was not targeted, solely due to ironic misidentification, this is yet another reminder to maintain security protocols, remain vigilant of suspicious activity and to (report promptly) to the appropriate authorities.”

      According to the report, Almaghtheh was interviewed by detectives and admitted to committing the “hate crime” during her courtesy phone call with a family member.

      Almaghtheh is expected to make her first court appearance on Wednesday. IMPD has contacted the FBI about the incident.

    Sounds like he should be charged for mass attempted murder. Couple of life sentences should do the trick.

      Already happened. A 71yr landlord murdered a 6yr old Palestine boy and nearly killed his mom, both tenants at the time.

      He specifically blamed the mother, who immigrated here 12 years ago, for the war. She replied “that they should pray for peace,” at which point he stabbed her 12 times. She fled and barrocaded herself in the bathroom, so he opted to stab her 6 yr old son to death instead.

        These are just baby steps for a self starting act of terrorism. When that happens you’ll know what I mean.

          Man stabs a Palestinian child to death: you sleep

          Women drives her car into what she thought was an Israeli school but was actually an antisemitic one, injuring no one:

          THE TRUE TERRORISM IS NEARLY UPON US

            Israeli school

            Jewish school. The two terms are not synonymous however convenient some Israeli politicians find it to pretend that they are.

              "Police said Almaghtheh passed by the building a couple times and called it the “Israel school.”

              The place does have the words “Hebrew Israelite” on the door. It’s part of their own hateful ignorance and misrepresentation of Judaism.

              Just because the real things are called Jewish Schools, doesn’t make the commenter wrong for basically quoting her ignorant intentions.

                “Israelite” is not a synonym for “Israeli”, either. The poster is conflating “Jewish” with “Israeli” all on their own and that is not OK.

                  No, she is a fool, so she thought she’d be hurting Israelis.

                  Edit to add : the cops, who know what a Jewish school really is, are the ones who used that term, not her.

            Yup. Of course there’s also the Jewish man who was beaten to death in LA at a pro Palestinian rally, and the Arizona man who threaten the life of the local Rabbi and all the Jewish people he could find…

            But, like I said, baby steps.

              You know you sound like you want the violence to escalate, right? On both sides? Maybe instead of picking fights you could acknowledge that there’s already been too much death and suffering by innocent people, especially children.
