The FBI director said that was in part because 'the Jewish community is targeted by terrorists really across the spectrum' including homegrown violent extremists, foreign terrorist organizations, and domestic violent extremists.
Wray said that the FBI is tackling the rise in antisemitism through a series of law enforcement efforts including joint terrorism task forces, hate crime investigations, and intelligence sharing.'This is not a time for panic, but it is a time for vigilance,' Wray said addressing public fear over the rise in hate crimes. 'We shouldn't stop conducting our daily lives – going to schools, houses of worship, and so forth – but we should be vigilant.
