Police in Florida have arrested a man after he made antisemitic social media posts, including threats to murder Jews.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Department  arrested Paul Thomas Morris, 26, on June 14 in Boca Raton, Florida, after two of his friends reported social media threats to law enforcement.

When Detective C. Wells arrived at Morris’s residence, he spoke with the suspect’s roommate, who showed him social-media postings of Morris’s that included vowing to attack a synagogue and murder all the Jews, according to a probable cause affidavit that the sheriff’s office shared with JNS.

Morris allegedly wrote on Instagram: “I want Hitler to come back to kill all the Jews.”
