The FBI has warned several local police agencies that White Supremacists are planning to spread the coronavirus to police officers and Jews.
According to ABC News, the FBI’s office in New York issued a report stating the racist hate group is planning to spread the virus in hopes of infecting their victims. They have encouraged their members to contain their body fluids in a spray bottle and attack Jews at places “they may be congregated, to include markets, political offices, businesses and places of worship.”

Various message boards targeting Jews blamed them for spreading the coronavirus and causing massive shutdowns globally as reported by Michael Masters, the head of Secure Communications Network.
“From pushing the idea that Jews created the coronavirus virus to sell vaccines to encouraging infected followers to try to spread the illness to the Jewish community and law enforcement, as the coronavirus has spread, we have observed how white-supremacists, neo-Nazis, and others have used this to drive their own conspiracy theories, spread disinformation and incite violence on their online platforms,”

Maters said despite the pandemic, Jews and law enforcement will always become the source of hate from white supremacy groups.
“As the economic situation remains fragile and civil society disrupted, the potential for the followers of hate to act becomes more likely … and more deadly.”
