Pro-Israel Summit in Dallas Canceled Because of Security Threats

When things like this happen, it is almost always because of violent threats from the left.

The Jewish News Service reports:

Major pro-Israel summit in Dallas canceled due to security threatsA major pro-Israel conference slated to begin in four days in Dallas that had 1,000 committed attendees postponed the event “indefinitely,” citing “escalating terror threats.”The decision came after organizers had already changed venues for the Israel Summit, which draws major Christian and Jewish pro-Israel speakers, because of security concerns. It was set to take place from June 9-11.“This is America in 2025. A pro-Israel conference scheduled for Dallas this week, where I was scheduled to speak, which sold over 1,000 tickets, was forced to cancel because of threats from violent Jihadists,” stated David Friedman, a former U.S. ambassador to Israel.“Law enforcement was completely cooperative, but the threats were of a nature that required cancellation,” Friedman said. “When the president says we need to take our country back, this is a good example of what he means.”Josiah Hilton, show host for the Israel Guys, which was to co-host the event with HaYovel, stated that just 10 days before this year’s event, local police and intelligence officials in Dallas notified organizers that it had been elevated to a “high-threat event.”That meant that they would have to develop “a mandatory security plan with a substantial budget estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars,” and their original venue was no longer feasible, according to Hilton.At the time, organizers believed that security concerns were due to the recent murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington.The organizers were able to quickly secure what Hilton called a “new and significantly safer location just north of Dallas.” At the new site, there was to be “top-tier private security, with additional support from local law enforcement and coordination with the Texas governor’s office.”
