Adopting the Jewish Security Model to Strengthen Faith-Based Threat Prevention  (Christopher Donohue, HSToday)
The Jewish community –after decades of sustained threat and violence –know their houses of worship are a target, with the latest example being the Manchester UK synagogue attack on Yom Kippur. But recent deadly attacks at Catholic and Latter-day Saints (LDS) churches in the U.S. have reminded us of the threat facing all faiths.
All houses of worship contend with threats ranging from active shooters to online harassment and vandalism. As religious groups seek effective strategies to identify and counter such threats, the Jewish community’s robust security system offers an effective blueprint. Jewish security organizations combine proactive intelligence, physical security, and close coordination with law enforcement to safeguard their facilities while ensuring worshippers can freely express their faith. It’s time for other religious communities to adopt this model.

Political Violence: The Rise in Leftist Terrorism  (The Week)
For the first time in more than three decades, “attacks by far-left extremists are outpacing far-right violence,” said Zachary Basu in Axios. That’s the finding of a new study from the nonpartisan Center for Strategic & International Studies, which looked at 750 domestic attacks and plots from 1994 through this summer. For almost all that period, far-right terrorism was “more frequent and more lethal”; in the past decade alone, right-wing extremists killed 112 people in the U.S., while leftist attacks killed 13. But “America’s domestic terrorism landscape has undergone a remarkable inversion since President Trump returned to office,” with at least five leftist attacks or plots recorded in the first six months of the year compared with one right-wing attack.
