Late Friday night, Indianapolis police say 34-year-old Ruba Almaghtheh intentionally drove her car into a building, that she thought was a Jewish school, as a terrorist act meant to hurt Jewish individuals due to the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.
As it turns out, she actually crashed into a building owned by an antisemitic hate group. Whoops!
From Fox 59:
According to a police report obtained by FOX59/CBS4, police were called to the building around 11:30 Friday night to investigate a hate crime. Officers said Almaghtheh backed her car into the building while several adults and children were inside.
Almaghtheh told officers she was watching news coverage of the Israel-Hamas war on television and decided to plan an attack on the building because she was offended by the "Hebrew Israelite" symbol on the front of the building.
Black Hebrew Israelites!
You know, the group of African-Americans who believe black people are the real Jews?
The group is so antisemitic that the far-left Anti-Defamation League and Southern Poverty Law Center BOTH call them a hate group.
No (and I have to say it), this isn't a Babylon Bee article!
Police said Almaghtheh passed by the building a couple times and called it the "Israel school."
IMPD said she made reference to "her people back in Palestine" and told officers, "Yes. I did it on purpose."
You know what's even wilder? This Black Hebrew Israelite building belongs to an even more extreme branch called the "Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge" (ISUPK).
The ADL (again, nearly as far left as one can imagine) says this about the ISUPK:
The Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge (ISUPK) is an extreme and antisemitic sect of Black Hebrew Israelites (BHI) who believe that they are the only true BHI group because of ties to early organizations.
She targeted the most extreme of the extreme antisemites.
According to the report, Almaghtheh was interviewed by detectives and admitted to committing the "hate crime" during her courtesy phone call with a family member.
Good luck in prison, lady!
