See email prepared below to send to State Attorney, Mayor and Chief of Police.
The Jerusalem Post published an article entitled Jordanian man arrested in Florida for antisemitic threats against Orthodox Jews. The article reports in part:
A man in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, is under investigation for what authorities are calling antisemitic attacks, as reported by Local 10 News.
Mohamed Al Saccal, 39, has been accused of using a sharp object, described by some victims as a dagger, to threaten Orthodox Jews in the community.
According to Sgt. Brain Schnell, this incident is part of a disturbing trend of harassment targeting members of the Jewish community over the past three days.
Al Saccal allegedly chased a couple on their way to a synagogue along Collins Avenue, yelling antisemitic sentiments and threatening their lives.
According to the report, Al Saccal, a resident of Sunny Isles Beach born in Jordan, is currently in custody, facing charges of aggravated assault.
Authorities are considering upgrading these charges to hate crimes in light of the nature of his actions.
This incident comes amidst heightened tensions following the Israel-Hamas war that began approximately four months ago. Sgt. Schnell emphasized that hate crimes would not be tolerated, regardless of global or political contexts.
Sunny Isles Beach, a city within Miami-Dade County, is grappling with these allegations as the local and federal law enforcement intensifies their scrutiny of hate crimes amid escalating geopolitical strife.
Mohamed would most likely be treated totally different, with kid gloves, by law enforcement if this happened in New York or Michigan.
However, Florida is a law and order state. Southeast Florida is home to hundreds of thousands of Jewish people. They need the full protection of the law now more than ever.
Law enforcement needs to prosecute Mohamed to the fullest extent of Florida law and seek a prison sentence for his conduct in order to send a strong message that fosters greater safety for the Jewish people. However, if law enforcement goes light on Mohamed’s alleged life threatening attack on Jews then more people will feel inclined to take the risk to express their hate through violence.
