(Anti-Defamation League) According to data released by ADL on Sunday, at least 12 white supremacists have been arrested for terrorist plots, attacks or threats against the Jewish community in the year since the attack on Pittsburgh's Tree of Life synagogue. The U.S. experienced 780 anti-Semitic incidents in the first six months of 2019. In at least three cases - in Monroe, Washington; Lehighton, Pennsylvania; and Las Vegas, Nevada - ADL's Center on Extremism provided critical intelligence to law enforcement, leading to investigations and arrests. Since the Pittsburgh shooting on Oct. 27, 2018, white supremacists have targeted Jewish institutional property on at least 50 occasions.
