.. so they put a Palestinian being arrested as the cover picture. Assholes.

Specifically a picture of the target who was going to have their house burned. If they insisted on a photo of the target they could have found a different picture.

It seems to me that publishing her picture online puts her at further risk. Maybe they should put her door number up there too ..

I mean i guess I’m just glad the headline wasn’t “FBI stops NYPD from preventing plot to firebomb Palestinian….” at this point honestly. I know theres great people at the FBI working tirelessly for everyone in this country… but looking at whose in charge of everything in this country and my statement stands.

Is it different than how they framed the attempted IED bombing at the anti-Muslim protest outside Gracie Mansion?

Well done NYPD, protecting someone that I'm sure they don't agree with politically. Law enforcement as it should be.

Thats why i remain suspicious of the whole thing. Where i\`m from you can make a petrol bomb in half a minute & land that petrol bomb on a house in half a minute .. The chances of being caught are remote. Who the hell takes weeks? (Weekslong Undercover Operation) & talks about it online? .. If this is a genuine story its my guess that the person concerned (attempted firebomber) is of very limited intelligence.

That's regularly the case. If your average criminal had average intelligence, law enforcement would be in big trouble.

Have you ever thrown a ball? .. If so how long did it take? Did it take weeks of planning? Your gonna have a very frustrated dog in the park if its gonna take you weeks of planning before you can throw it a stick.

A_Nonny_Muse Mar 27, 2026 +10

Well, it's got to be just the right stick. Not any stick will do, you know. It has to be just the right length, and thickness, be just the right age, and a non-toxic wood. Can't have splinters or be too smooth. Can't be one that makes me nervous wondering what to do.

It's not just the act of making and throwing the molotovs though. He spent time picking a target and theorizing with the rest of the extremist group he's a part of (a group of Jewish Defense League copycats), finding an accomplice to help carry it out (who turned out to be an undercover cop), securing a passport and pre-planning transportation to Israel, and then actually going in person to his target's residence to scope it out and make a plan of attack. It wasn't just some dude going, "F*** it, I'm gonna go bomb this b****'s house". It was a methodically planned out terrorist attack, which does take a decent amount of time to execute if someone wants to make sure it actually works (the bungled IED at the protests outside of the NYC mayor's residence being case it point).

SgtSniffles Mar 27, 2026 +9

Lol. It's not a question of intelligence. Most people who get "caught" planning stuff like this don't go to sleep in Normal People Land(TM) and wake up the next morning and see something that sets them off and decide to go do a thing and then go do it within a day or two. The ones who do, yeah, generally succeed and are difficult to catch. Instead, most people are first introduced to approximate ideas and search for or form groups where they can express, investigate, or just f*** around. It becomes more a more involved cosplay until one day it isn't but by that point, some agency already knows you exist and is waiting for you to cross that line. You get charged with conspiracy, spend 8-10 in prison, and *presumably* are surveilled for the rest of your life.

A_Nonny_Muse Mar 27, 2026 +3

A lot of competent cops try to make friends with as many area bartenders as they can. Because there's always a good chance that some drunk moron is going to start boasting about his crime. Bartenders hear it all the time. And when something bothers the bartender, they should have a cop friend they can call with their "hot tip". A lot of cases break wide open like that.

The_Bitter_Bear Mar 27, 2026 +2

Lots of people mouth off online and get caught. Hell, people are getting caught for planning shit using AI as well. A lot of people who commit crimes aren't the smartest.

But then why wasnt he arrested on suspicion of carrying out a Domestic Terrorist Attack? .. They already had the evidence of the plot.

1

BansheeEcho Mar 28, 2026 +1

Because they wanted to secure a higher sentence for him and made sure they had definitive proof that he was actually going to do it. It's a choice of "Do I want to put a potential terrorist in prison for 5 years or life?".

MonoBlancoATX Mar 27, 2026 +305

So... are we allowed to call this "domestic terrorism"? Or are we still pretending like Palestinians don't exist or have any rights?

When it’s a terrorist who was planning to flee to a foreign country and who was radicalized by organizations that receive funding from that country we usually call it state sponsored terrorism.

NeuterTheUninformed Mar 27, 2026 -11

I'm not mad for your ignorance. Being a cop is like any other f****** job except your funded by the community. Its not the most dangerous job in the US You have qualified immunity Takes less than a year to be an officer You can test too high to become an officer I'm mad your stupid ass thinks cops give a shit about YOU but I'm not mad about that. Just make sure you tell them how much you care about them when you call 911 and it takes 1 hrs for them to show up. If cops are not legally required to help you.. what exactly is it that they do for society? Let me guess were peace keepers not peace makers /s

The Trump administration, who has control of the FBI, says protesters of ICE are domestic terrorist abd already 1 person been convicted of it, which is BS. Declaring Anti-fa a domestic terrorist group and then ties your enemies to it gives you that charge.

>On Thursday, the undercover officer and Heifler met at Heifler’s Hoboken residence, the complaint said. Heifler was carrying a large bottle of Everclear, a liquor with a high alcohol content level and had other components to make the Molotov cocktails at his home, the complaint said. >According to the complaint, Heifler reiterated that some of the Molotov cocktails would be thrown directly into Kiswani’s residence, while others would be thrown at cars. >After they built eight Molotov cocktails, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at the residence and recovered the eight Molotov cocktails, the complaint said. A preliminary analysis by FBI bomb technicians tested positive for the presence of ethanol and concluded that the Molotov cocktails were destructive devices, the complaint said Did the undercover officer make the plot happen?

The man already expressed desire to bomb someone and was more than happy to make the bombs. This ain't entrapment. Absolutely no one forced him to go down this path.

37

DrEpileptic Mar 27, 2026 +15

Those dastardly officers entrapping me by catching me seeking out how to make a bomb and escape. If only I didn’t show intent and desire before they discovered me on forums/asking around. And if only I didn’t have so many searches logged on my devices prior to it- they never would’ve known!!!

15

Outlulz Mar 27, 2026 -2

It's not illegal to simply want to bomb someone. You can fantasize about whatever you want. The question of entrapment is always did the officers encourage them to do something they would not have done had the officers not egged them on and if the officers aided them in ways that would have deterred them otherwise. Hopefully the answer is no.

-2

DrEpileptic Mar 27, 2026 +4

No. The question of entrapment is whether or not the person would have intended/desired to do it had they not been convinced to do so. It’s not illegal to want to bomb someone in your mind. It is illegal to voice that in public. It is illegal to act on that thought by researching how best to do it and attempt to coordinate an effort to do it. Law enforcement giving you the means to find it when you’re already searching for a way to do it, is not entrapment. Looking to do it is, by definition, a demonstration of intent, no matter who helps you look. Entrapment is a very specific legal term with a bunch of laws relating to what entails entrapment. In very much the same way, not everything is murder, or manslaughter, or even self defense. Intent matters. Premeditation matters. Following through, or attempting to, on a planned action and intent matters. Officers engaging them doesn’t change their intent and premeditation. Officers engaging them and convincing them to do something they never demonstrated intent for in the first place; that is what entrapment is. That’s why entrapment arguments almost always fail in courts. And from a personal perspective, not a legal one: no amount of convincing from someone else would make me, or any other normal person, want to firebomb someone. This is the same level of thinking as trying to argue that politicians get tricked into being pedophiles. Sorry. No amount of convincing or persuasion would ever make me, or any other normal person, f*** a child.

>It is illegal to voice that in public. Not totally because of free speech and the line between true intent and hyperbole is fuzzy. But I get what you mean and thank you for the breakdown.

DrEpileptic Mar 28, 2026 +2

You’re right that it’s not totally illegal. You can yell it as you please in public if it can’t reasonably be taken seriously and is very clearly a joke. But you can’t do it in a theatre or near a a school. You also can’t really use the exact words “I want to firebomb x.” Someone might not take you seriously, but it is actually a chargeable offense depending on context (which is where intent and all the rest comes into play yet again). Legally, you could be charged with criminal assault off of that alone. Would be a felony iirc. In a similar manner, if you say you want to bomb or shoot someone, and then show up near them, and they’re aware you had voiced that, they’re actually allowed to defend themselves, even if you didn’t intend to do it. It might vary by state because of self defense laws, but it’s generally considered a serious criminal threat that warrants self defense if it’s declared and then you appear near them (partly because the other person has no way of knowing you’re serious and can only really reasonably interpret that you mean harm in some manner).

Sarazam Mar 27, 2026 -1

We don't know what the group chat was like, or what was said, but there certainly can be a situation where just the officer attempting to get someone to give more details can move someone to go through with it. A typical group chat maybe the guy says "I'm gonna burn down her house" and everyone either laughs in response or moves away from that idea, or gives other absurd idea's but doesn't let the guy ruminate on it. Someone could respond "I'll release my dogs on her" and although also violence, doesn't make the original person think people are taking it seriously. However an undercover in there may simply ask "how are you gonna burn her house down" and this gives the perpetrator the impression that there is some group support for the idea, that they will be given praised from within their group for doing so, so they escalate further. Each situation where a normal person may de-escelate by changing the topic or outright putting the idea down, the undercover just continues asking for details, which makes the person plan more and feel as though their actions are supported. Also note that this guy just bought Everclear bottles and was going to light them on fire, he wasn't making some elaborate bomb like the previous bomb attacks.

Entrapment is the FBI's way of doing things nowadays. At least in this case it seems the perpetrator already had the Everclear.

I don't know why you are downvoted. They are openly associated with and often identify with the designated terrorist group Jewish Defense League. Now that Israel is engaged in several vicious wars and has an extremist leadership encouraging and engaging in blatant acts of terror, US authorities should pay close attention to neo-fascist groups like Betar and JDL.
