Congressman hit with horrific voicemail threats (Trigger Warning)

[RandySF]

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) has been targeted with violent and antisemitic voicemails from multiple people, according to TMZ.

Moskowitz, who is Jewish, is well-known for trolling President Donald Trump's allies in congressional hearings.

"TMZ has obtained several voicemails from people who called Congressman Jared Moskowitz's Washington, D.C. office ... all diatribes on Jews, Israel and how both should be exterminated. We're told this is a 'small sampling' of voicemails with the same message and tone," said the report.

One of the callers said, "The U.S. government needs to kill Jews. You kill these [expletive] nasty Jews. Israel is an abomination, it's fake. Jews from Europe are fake. These are Ashkenazi, Satanic fake Jews. Kill every single [expletive] Zionist scumbag. Zionism is treason to We the People, and the U.S. Constitution."

1. No words...

[pdxflyboy]

2. Why can't law enforcement track these callers?

n/t

[sheshe2]

6. They are probably coming from inside the White House.

[paleotn]

19. Exactly!!

[hadEnuf]

20. That's a very good question. They should be hunted down like the Nazi animals that they are.

It seems when these threats happen to fanatical right-wingers the outrage goes to fever pitch. Anyone else, including Democrats, it's "ho hum".

Then again, the fanatical right-wing has a media and we don't.

[EdmondDantes_]

24. My guess is the callers are using online phones and a VPN

That's what people who call in false swatting attempts usually do.

[mcar]

3. They're just "freedom fighters"

[yardwork]

4. Mandela-like.

They just want peace and goodwill.

[PCIntern]

5. Like the tourists in DC

[yardwork]

7. Right!

[mcar]

15. Grand fellows all

[Melon]

8. The anti Jewish hatred in the US is crazy

It’s not ok to be racist anymore to anyone except the Jews it seems. I’ve heard it in daily like as well as what we saw on college campuses being accepted. I don’t know what changes this. It’s even worse when I’m working overseas.

[Keepthesoulalive]

9. I think black folks would take issue with that

Do you see what is happening in the south and the nonsense coming from the White House, don’t get me started on Charlie Kirk. The majority of people who identify as Jewish voted for Kamala, I stand with them and support them.

[Hope22]

13. I would add that here women of all races suffer this as well.

Every fertile non male has a target on the back! Face it hate has been spread particularly heavy over the last 19 years by one felon….One very sick human who lit the wick of ignorance and fear in an army of people.

[Melon]

33. There are no anti woman marches

I’m pro woman. Pro choice. Woman are half the population or more. They aren’t hated on openly more than the groups above. This is not a race over who the worse off is.

[Hope22]

35. I didn't say that they were hated more than other groups. Not sure where you got that.

The hate is bred from the top down. That being said every day a fertile non male is at risk of being harmed, many times lethally by hospitals and law makers. It matters not their race, religion or orientation. The feeding of hate from our elected and corporate lords make the situation intolerable.

[Melon]

10. I guess through each of our eyes.

I live in the south. I don’t hear the N word in decades used casually. I hear negative remarks on Jews every month. There are no anti black lockdowns or signs and chants like what was accepted on college campuses a few years ago. Black students participated.

Making a disparaging comment regarding blacks in a professional setting would be condemned by everyone I know. And result in termination. I’ve heard the same about Jews and Israelis numerous times. This is my sheltered life perspective.

[Keepthesoulalive]

22. Perhaps you should look up Chud the builder

I don’t see people who are Jewish losing their jobs or their right to representation because of religion.
I also live in the south and I no longer feel comfortable traveling because of the racists privilege.

[Melon]

23. That Chud guy is being held on a million dollar bail

He’s going to be in prison. He was getting views because it’s shocking and unacceptable. You can read the comments below his arrest.

Go back 3 years when college students were actually carrying signs, on campus, condemning Jews. Chanting. Barring Jews from entering. Actually preventing them from entering areas because they are Jewish. Finding an anti Jewish video is daily these days.

I’m not trying to one up bigotry, but anti Jewish is accepted.

[Keepthesoulalive]

26. He's running around harassing black people

Calling them the hard R with a gun on his hip. He monetizes this garbage trying to provoke them so he can use his gun. It backfired on him pun intended. He is making money from harassment and intimidation. There are places in the United States where people of the Jewish faith can feel comfortable, there is no place in this country where a black person can breathe freedom for one minute. The police state exists for us.

[Melon]

34. I....dont agree.

Chad was one guy acting a fool. You can’t police every individual.

[Keepthesoulalive]

36. Multiply that by people who support trumps racism

Also people who are asking black people what they are doing when they are eating, sitting in a park , exercising and driving while black it’s just one more wound to people who have never been free of racism . It is the American culture. What’s more painful is people who excuse it and people who ignore it. If one is European and Jewish no one would know unless you tell them so if you choose to not disclose your religious beliefs and culture you are free to go about your business and be left alone.

[Melon]

37. You are literally jumping on a thread that is pointing

Out that it’s become acceptable to denigrate Jews, to point out you or anyone is a bigger victim. It’s ok to victimize Jews because you feel like you are the true victim? It’s not the right thread for that. This is not the oppression Olympics.

[Keepthesoulalive]

41. I made it quite clear I support the Jewish community

I told you I stand with them but I’m pointing out there are others who are suffering injustice and we should support all of our targeted communities. I hear the slurs against Jewish people because of Netanyahu, all Jews are not responsible for his inhumanity anymore than orange Caligula represents all Americans. I gave you examples of others being targeted as much as your community. I’m saying you should not play the only victim card.

[DavidDvorkin]

45. It has nothing to do with Netanyahu or Gaza

That's just an excuse for the current open antisemitism on the Left.

Jew hatred is ancient. It never goes away. It just hides a bit for a while.

[Keepthesoulalive]

48. There are ignorant people who will grab any excuse to hate on folks

When people are angry they lash out at perceived enemies. I separate dictators from the people of their countries but others just paint with broad hate. We have people on the left and right making book on hate, the American people don’t know what happened yesterday the damn sure don’t know about the holocaust.
We don’t learn history, we don’t learn anything at all in school so we go around waiting for someone to fill our empty heads. I don’t believe we will ever get back to attempting to be progressive or sane. People are losing jobs and the rich are stealing everything they can and people point fingers at each other rather than the rich folks putting their stooge in office.

[sarisataka]

38. You make it sound like the victim's fault

'You wouldn't be targeted by antisemites if you just keep your Jewishness hidden'

[Melon]

39. Right! If you are Jewish you can just hide your jewness

It didn’t work for them in 1940…but give it a shot today.

[Keepthesoulalive]

51. I didn't say hide

I said it is not obvious. You can wear any type of religious symbol you choose, I said no one is going to ask you if you are a Jew when you walk down the street and tell you to go back to your country. You can parse every word or phrase and get pissed about it , have at it.

[JI7]

28. Europe also

[Solly Mack]

11. I hope the threat makers are arrested and prosecuted.

[Deuxcents]

12. We may not be hearing the N word but the Blacks are being disenfranchised by gerrymandering

The Jewish community, for some reason, has been a target of hate forever. The hate movement seems to fluctuate between the Blacks and Jews and both have suffered immeasurably and probably won’t get any better but we all need to stand up together and fight this ignorance.

[Behind the Aegis]

16. Systemic racism is alive and well in the US.

You provided gerrymandering, but there is also redlining, plea deal malfeasance, and so many other examples. With anti-Black racism, "Kitchen table bigotry" is very much in play. Overt? Not as much or as obvious, except in certain areas. Anti-Semitism, however, has moved from its longstanding Kitchen Table bigotry status, to the fucking front porch! Both groups, and others, have seen microaggressions morphing into flat-out aggression, especially Jews. It is where and by whom these bigotries and aggressions are coming that have many Jews on our collective heels.

[Keepthesoulalive]

30. I feel you

America has always looked for someone to hate , it’s just which group is in the notation. We are ignorant and easily led by demagogues , the gain power through fear and hate. Solutions I no longer believe things will get better we are to stupid and myopic to fix what ails us.

[Melon]

50. It's not just America. Hatred is a global universal

I worked in the Middle East. They looked down on Indians/pakistan Asians. They hated the Jews

Germany they don’t like Turks. The only place I’ve heard someone called out in a meeting for being “really Dark”.

In India they hated Singaporeans. Actually most of Asia.

Japanese won’t buy a Korean appliance.

Much of China doesn’t like the Japanese or blacks.

I drank beers in Mexico at a bar called the little negro.

Hatred of those not us seems to be somewhat universal. The dislike of outsiders.

[Keepthesoulalive]

52. Hatred is cultural

No one is born hating. As the song goes you have to be carefully taught. Light Hispanics hate dark Hispanics hence Latinos want to be white adjacent. The internet has inflamed our divisions.

[Old Crank]

14. I don't like what Bibi and teh Israeli government are doing in Gaza, Lebanon and IRan.

But that doesn't mean I hate Jewish people. I know a good number of Jewish people and they are great, kind and caring people. I can separate the people I know from the actions of the state. What I really don't understand is the blind hatred for any group of people. You are X. There for you are scum and deserve to be treated horribly. That makes no sense to me at all.

I hope that authorities will be looking into these calls. But I'm not sure this administration even cares.

[Behind the Aegis]

17. Of course, many make excuses for it or claim "the other side is worse"!

Anti-Semitism is bad no matter who is doing it or to whom it is directed. That simplistic statement seems to be lost on way TOO MANY!

[Joinfortmill]

18. This is so disheartening...

I have Jewish relatives. They are decent, kind, hardworking people. I love them. Who are we?

[Stargazer99]

21. the way psychiatrist explain it-the way you control the masses is give them someone to be the cause of their

problems (Jews, blacks, etc) except the real cause (the greedy rich) that way you can control of masses without them actually figuring out where the real problem is coming from (using the common man's emotion so he doesn't think any farther). That is why critical thinking is not what your controllers want you to have which is also why critical thinking is not allowed to be taught in public schools (for example Texas) That is what one would call management. Do you notice the ICE program?

[Jacson6]

25. Why should I believe anything from the gossip TV show TMZ?

They sensationalize the smallest thing for ratings.

IMHO.

[RandySF]

27. This should help IMHO

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DvyEbZrWPow

[sarisataka]

29. They may be sensationalist

but:

TMZ does not usually fail fact checks and often debunks false claims

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/tmz/

Do you have a reason to doubt a Jewish Congressman would receive antisemitic threats?

[RandySF]

31. THe J-word of course.

[sarisataka]

32. I have recently seen declarations

"those people" cannot be trusted to tell the truth.

[B.See]

40. I for one am not inclined to

get into a p-contest about who Trump & Co. hates the most. Remember that the Klan despised (correction, DESPISES) Blacks, Jews, and Catholics alike. NONE of it is acceptable. and I believe they intend on getting around to all of us, sooner or later.

So let's not help the haters and supremacists out by engaging in a divisive back and forth.

[RandySF]

43. I'm confused

How we go from threats against a representative to this?

[B.See]

46. To a discussion about who's more

discriminated against? I don't know. I'm confused too. These kind of threats, just unacceptable.

But then again, I've been writing about the right's proclivity for this kind of thing for quite some time, while Trump has the audacity to label us 'terrorists and anarchists.'

His every accusation, a confession.

[Initech]

42. Where are these fucking threats coming from???

And why haven't there been any damn arrests? This shit has got to stop!

[Eko]

44. I hope the police catch and prosecute these people.

[Skittles]

47. fake Jews?

WTF is that all about?

[RandySF]

49. I think we need some clarity.

It’s not a contest, people. Threats against anyone are immoral and illegal and we should all be looking out for one another.

[OAITW r.2.0]

53. Would the Jew hater have been happier if Moskowitz was a Bibi loving stooge?

[RandySF]

55. I guess that depends on who made the calls.

[MustLoveBeagles]

54. I hope the haters are caught and punished

There's no excuse for this.
