Israeli NY consul vows to fight anti-Semitism after ‘vicious’ Ohio attack plot

Israel’s consul in New York, Dani Dayan, thanks the FBI and other US authorities for thwarting a “vicious” planned attack on a synagogue in Toledo, Ohio.

Dayan says efforts to combat anti-Semitism should be stepped up, adding: “We will continue fighting anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism and the cruel terror that tries to make us afraid of expressing our identity.”

Dayan calls Tina Stieben, head of the Toledo Jewish community, to say he is “alarmed” by the attack and say that “the State of Israel stands with you and will help Ohio’s Jewish community with all that is needed.”
