The New York Times runs a sizable article on the sentencing of the Israeli-American Jewish man who launched a thousand op-eds about how Trump was causing rising anti-Semitism by phoning in all those bomb threats to Jewish institutions in the U.S.. And yet, incredibly, the NYT never mentions the convict’s name nor that he is Jewish.
American-Israeli Teenager Is Sentenced to 10 Years for Bomb Hoaxes
The 19-year-old has remained publicly unidentified because some of the crimes were committed while he was still a minor.
That makes perfect sense. It’s like banning any newspaper mention of serial killer Ted Bundy’s name because, say, he had also tortured animals when he was a minor.
Outside of the New York Times, the criminal’s name is Michael Ron David Kadar. It’s not a secret. You can look his name and ethnicity up on Wikipedia.
This is kind of like how Haven Monahan’s name has only appeared once in the history of the New York Times and Jackie Coakley’s last name never. It’s a way of memory-holing embarrassing events by keeping them vague. If nobody has a handle to remember them by, they can’t be part of The Narrative. It’s rather like how there is no journalistic shorthand name for Merkel’s Mistake letting in the Million Marching Muslim Men in 2015.
The Wikipedia article, on the other hand, is pretty good:
2017 Jewish Community Center bomb threats
In early 2017, a wave of more than 2,000 bomb threats were made against Jewish Community Centers in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Norway and Denmark.[1] Two arrests were made in connection with the threats and Michael Ron David Kadar, a dual American-Israeli citizen, has been convicted.[2][3] He was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment.
Theories
Media speculation made by the ADL in January 2017 promoted the view that the threats were the responsibility of “right wing Christians in the United States”.[4] The same month, Jerry Silverman of the Jewish Federations of North America said the threats were part of a “coordinated effort” to intimidate American Jews.[5] In February, during an interview on CNN, U.S. Congressman Jerrold Nadler said that some supporters of Donald Trump were responsible for the threats.[6]In an op-ed for the Baltimore Sun, deputy editor Tricia Bishop said the threats represent a growing attitude of racial intolerance in the United States, but probably no specific group or person was responsible for the threats. She implored readers to “stand up … before it’s your children they come for”.[7]
Suspects
In March 2017, two persons were arrested on separate charges of making a number of the bomb threats:American journalist
Juan M. Thompson, a former journalist for The Intercept, was charged with responsibility for at least eight of the incidents.[8] According to media reports, Thompson had called in the threats in an attempt to frame a woman whom he had previously dated.[9] …
They should also mention that Thompson was left of center and black, but that at least is a good start.
Israeli-American man
A 19-year-old Jewish Israeli-American named as Michael Ron David Kadar, was arrested in March 2017 in Ashkelon, Israel and charged with responsibility for “dozens” of the threats.
He’s not Jewish, Steve, he’s Misunderstood.

And yet, incredibly, the NYT never mentions the convict’s name nor that he is Jewish.
Both of the previous articles in the NYT, March 23 and 24 2017, prominently mention that he’s Jewish, so I doubt there is some conspiracy afoot here.
"The hoax calls appear to have started in the spring of 2015, when he would have been about 16. Between April 2015 and March 2017, prosecutors said, he called about 2,000 institutions, claiming that bombs had been planted or threatening an imminent shooting attack, prompting evacuations and bringing out the police and emergency services."
2,000 calls!
This creep is responsible for the entire phenonemon!
All of it!
And the NYT admitted it!
Wikipedia used weasel words to describe "dozens" of calls.
Bullshit.
The Israeli prosecutors themselves said between 2015 and 2017 he called 2,000 institutions with bomb threats!

I’m certainly glad that the NYT ran a large article and that the Israeli court was tough on him. I’m no fan of the NYT, but credit where credit is due. As far as his name is concerned, no one will remember it anyway. And since the headline describes him as American-Israeli, what else would he be but Jewish? A Palestinian would never be so described.
Out of curiosity, what % of Unz.com have ethnically id’d themselves on this website?
For example I’ve always assumed that Paul Craig Roberts is a White Amerian Christian, but I don’t recall this site explicitly identifying himself as such.

Of course you can pretty much make assumptions especially when its obvious (eg American-Israeli as the NYT article says)
If someone made assumptions, and incorrect ones at that, it was the Anti-Defamation League, according to the source of the Wikipedia article.Replies: @Anonymous, @slumber_j
Soon after the perpetrator was caught in Israel (I wonder how much pressure FBI had to exert for this to happen) we were told by media to never mind that he was Jewish and Israeli. His actions were ant-Semitic, the fear of Jews in synagogues and community centers was real so we should concentrate on rising anti-Semitism.
Apparently Kadar suffers from autism. Perhaps that’s why the NYT didn’t name him.
Kadar’s crime was not anti-Jewish or ‘antisemitic’.
He was trying to defame white people by making Jews seem like victims.
His ilk need to apologize to white people.
And the fact that he was able to do it on such a huge scale means that Israel tolerates and even encourages that kind of thing.
But media will spin it was ‘self-loathing Jew attacking Jews’.
No, he is a Jewish supremacist who tried to defame white(and maybe Muslims).
He is Anti-whitite.

The Israeli court WAS NOT tough on him.
Compare the punishment received by Juan Thompson in an American court:
Thompson PLED GUILTY (thus saving the State the time and expense of taking him all the way thru a trial) to 2 criminal charges and was sentenced to 5 years in prison.
Kadar on the other hand:
Forced the Israeli court to try him all the way to a FINDING OF GUILTY on HUNDREDS of charges and received 10 years in prison.
Per wikipedia:
“In June 2018, he was convicted on HUNDREDS (emphasis added) of counts including charges of extortion, publishing false information that caused panic, computer offenses, and money laundering.”
Moreover, the Israeli court made no serious attempt to seize the money he amasssed in his criminal enterprise. Thus Kadar profited from his crimes and the ill-gotten money (in the form of Bitcoin, now estimated to be worth $800k) will be available to him and his parents.
Watch for more leniency, and an early release, as this matter fades from public memory.

Hey Tyrion! I think your analogy of a Nigerian-American does not match the particulars of the story, and here is why. In this case, the facts of religious and cultural affiliation are crucial to the story and just leaving them to the readers assumptions fails to give the religious issue the clarity it deserves. Even if one assumes (correctly as it happens) that the guy is Jewish, there is also the matter of his purpose in his crimes. If the NYT really wanted clarity, their article’s first line would say “A Jewish man has been convicted for making false flag anti-semitic bomb threats, acts which were wrongly blamed on whites.”
The Pittsburgh shooting makes all of this irrelevant. Jews really are under violent siege by Nazis.
Recall that our FBI traced the threats back to Israel and brought it to the attention of the Israeli government.
Israel has better cyber security capabilities than we do. Hell, our government contracts with their companies for their technology.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/gilpress/2017/07/18/6-reasons-israel-became-a-cybersecurity-powerhouse-leading-the-82-billion-industry/
The Israeli authorites already know.
The fix was in the moment Israel asserted jurisdiction over the case despite the fact that Kadar is a U.S. citizen and his victims were U.S. entities.
Imagine there was a series of attacks on mosques. They finally catch the guy, and it turns out his name is Mohamed al-Shariah from Saudi Arabia.
Imagine a report on this that at no point spells out that the culprit is Muslim, just giving us his name and that he’s a Saudi. Or even hiding his name, because the poor dear happened to be underage at some point. Wouldn’t there be something missing in such a story?
Usually news stories spell things out a bit for clarity, at the risk of being pedantic. It’s true, NYT readers are all high IQ men and women of the world with an acute knowledge of all facets and reporting conventions of Israeli or Saudi society, but still… they might stoop to enjoy a good ironic gotcha.
If they said he was Saudi I’d know he was Muslim, as would everyone.
Actually, the most plausible inference is that an Arab Israeli or a Palestinian (who also are Semites) was the perpetrator.
Uh, half of Israel’s population is Gentile. And these attacks were anti-Semitic. So, yeah, concealing the Jewish identity here is a lie by omission.

Anyway, showing that is facile as obviously they do this and you, and anyone else looks ignorant for asking for evidence. Have you never read anything they write on the subject?

Yes and Gaza. They are self-administered and have been for decades. It isn’t controversial to exclude their populations from Israel’s. It’d be highly controversial the other way around. Especially with Hamas and Fatah…
Then somebody would find a way to claim that the NYT doing so would also be part of a grand conspiracy or whatever…

I'm as annoyed as a lot of you, that the once-useful but now thoroughly corrupt ADL was able to make political hay out of these threats. But that still doesn't merit 5, or 10, years in prison.Replies: @Anonymous, @Trevor H.
Best of all, the real victims are goyishe white people, who are defamed 24/7/365 by the MSM.
"The hoax calls appear to have started in the spring of 2015, when he would have been about 16. Between April 2015 and March 2017, prosecutors said, he called about 2,000 institutions, claiming that bombs had been planted or threatening an imminent shooting attack, prompting evacuations and bringing out the police and emergency services."
2,000 calls!
This creep is responsible for the entire phenonemon!
All of it!
And the NYT admitted it!
Wikipedia used weasel words to describe "dozens" of calls.
Bullshit.
The Israeli prosecutors themselves said between 2015 and 2017 he called 2,000 institutions with bomb threats!

Thanks for emphasizing the point about the number of offenses. Seriously, I hadn’t really considered the implications. Not to mention that the actual number is doubtless even more than what he was charged with. It’s also sobering to consider that this guy is just one who got caught.
Great point.
