A 21-year-old Florida man has been charged after he threatened to kill Jewish people.
According to court documents unsealed by the Justice Department on Wednesday night, Deep Alpesh Kumar Patel, from Sarasota, Florida, reportedly called the World Jewish Congress in New York City and allegedly left a threatening voicemail.
Part of Patel’s alleged voicemail goes thus:
“If I had a chance, I would kill every single one of you Israelis. Every single one of you! Cause mass genocide of every single Israeli.”
Stonix News gathered that when police officers interviewed Patel at his home, he confirmed that he made the call but denied threatening anyone.
The complaint filed by the U.S Attorney for the Middle District of Florida reads:
“When the officers asked Patel to describe the content of the telephone calls, he explained that he had called Jewish centers to express his family’s anger with Israel for the genocide of the Palestinian people.
“Patel stated that he did not intend to scare of threaten anyone, but that he wanted to use the harshest language possible to convey his anger.”
Patel’s lawyer, when contacted by our source, didn’t immediately respond for comment.
