The all-female staff at Clifton's Palestinian American Community Center received about 30 calls including slurs, death threats and threats of sexual abuse.
Local police are investigating dozens of vulgar calls that overwhelmed a Palestinian community center in New Jersey on Tuesday and included Islamophobic and misogynistic rhetoric, as well as death threats and threats of sexual abuse. Members of the all-female staff at the Palestinian American Community Center in Clifton said they had opened the facility on Tuesday to begin the new semester of its Arabic program for children, prepare for an advocacy meeting with Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and get “ready to continue serving our great community.” “Unfortunately, we instead were all met with violent anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, and Islamophobic rhetoric, all coupled with [vulgar] misogyny and threats of sexual abuse,” the center said in a statement.More Related News
