Freelancer for Michigan Anti-Israel Publication Threatened to Kill Jews, Feds Say

Jeffrey Stevens, who lives in Ft. Wayne, Ind., allegedly sent messages to both local police and the CIA saying he was going to kill Jews and American government officials who supported Israel, the Detroit News reported Monday, citing an affidavit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana. Stevens writes for the Arab American News, based in Dearborn, Mich., an anti-Israel publication whose publisher President Joe Biden's administration has courted for support.

"I am going to kill every Jew in ft. Wayne, and there is nothing you can do to stop it because you are stupid n—ers," Stevens allegedly wrote to the Ft. Wayne Police Department's Facebook account in November, per the Detroit News. "I am going to make sure I kill every one of you, especially the dark ones, and there is nothing you stupid n—ers can [do] about it."

Days earlier, he allegedly wrote to the CIA via its website that he would "shoot every pro-israel US government official in the head," the outlet reported.

What was Stevens' excuse? According to the Detroit News, he claimed that he sent the messages while drunk. The Arab American News admitted that they had run some of his material, but that he didn't work for them -- and hinted that his hatred was too vitriolic to run more of his work.
