They also plan to implement other state police recommendations to make the facility more secure. “The demonization of Jews and Israel on college campuses and social media doesn’t stop there. It is being received and propagated in the real world and causes anti-Semitic extremists to take the life of innocent people, just because they are Jewish,” she told The Associated Press.
Still, noted Mark S. Bloom, rabbi at Temple Beth Abraham in Oakland, California: “You can’t up security every time an incident happens because they happen so often.”
