Iman Abdul, a 27-year-old woman from Brooklyn, was arrested for allegedly making terroristic threats against Leon Goldstein High School for the Sciences, which serves Jewish students. Reports indicated that she posted a social media threat which included a location screenshot of the school. She faces charges including making a terroristic threat and aggravated harassment and has pleaded not guilty. Advocacy groups have called for her prosecution, highlighting the severity and potential escalation of antisemitic threats in the community.
"If anyone needs a public school in NYC to attack for whatever reason... Lexus driving Israhell [sic] loving Zionists [sic] all attend here," Abdul allegedly wrote, sharing a screenshot from Google Maps of the high school's location.
"A map. A pin. A call to harm Jews, fellow New Yorkers, children, teachers. This isn't just dangerous. It's evil. Jew-hatred doesn't stop with a threat. It escalates. We need immediate and unequivocal action," Tova Plaut reportedly told The Post.
