(Jewish Group) Military Religious Freedom Foundation and Jewish leader face murder-for-hire threats

Postings offering $5,000 to kill members of a group that advocates for freedom from religious coercion in the military, which include an extra $1,000 if the victim is Jewish, have drawn federal law enforcement attention, the Jewish leader of the group said.

“We are working very closely with federal especially federal and local law enforcement agencies to try to track these people down,” Mikey Weinstein, who founded the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

The threats, posted Saturday on the comments section of the foundation’s website, say “$5,000 will be payed [sic] to anyone who beh3ads [sic] an MRFF member” and “A thousand more if they are a kike.”

The foundation’s webmaster removed the threats. Weinstein shared screenshots with JTA, as well as automatic alerts that he receives from the website as verification of the postings.

These hateful idiots seem to be multiplying exponentially.
It should have been, "Go forth and multiply. Oh, wait. On second thought, all idiots are encouraged to spill your seed."

Mike is doing a wonderful service in a very hard field, during trying times. He deserves to be supported; not subjected to this kind of crap.

But this NAR (apostolic reformation) bullsh*t, xtian nationalism, and plain old maga idiocy is so overwhelming. Roll them all into the same ball of wax and they intend to roll over all of us. They plan to either coerce us into submission or destroy us. They don't care which, tho the latter I think is their greater wish for all of us.
