Over the past two months bomb threats have increased for US synagogues. This hasn't gotten the coverage it deserves in the current political climate. More than 26 synagogues and Jewish institutions have been targeted with threats, or "swatting." They appear to be targeting synagogues that livestream videos of services online. Which implies that somewhere online someone is watching -- Some 4chan posts hint that some of these trolls may use that site.

@futurebird Correct. During COVID my synagogue’s zoom service *for toddlers* was zoom-bombed by Nazis. Had to password protect everything and issue passwords only to trusted people. Now the open livestreams are getting targeted by Nazis issuing bomb threats to the physical synagogue locations and watching the resulting chaos on screen. The result is that we’re going to have to restrict the livestreams as well. :(
