Jeffrey Stevens is a freelance journalist living in Fort Wayne, Indiana, who focuses on Israel and the Palestinians. He has a great hatred, it appears, not just for Israel, but for all Jews, and indeed for any pro-Israel officials in the American government. That hatred is so great that he has been making death threats, promising to kill all the Jews in Fort Wayne, and any government officials, including CIA agents, whom he finds support the state of Israel. He made these threats in a message to the Fort Wayne Police Department, which naturally led to his present state, in prison and waiting to be tried. More on this bizarre creature can be found here: “‘Death to the Zionist’: American Journalist Arrested After Threatening to Kill Jews, Zionists, and Federal Workers,” by Jack Elbaum, Algemeiner, February 21, 2024:
After making death threats against Jews and government officials, a freelance journalist for the Dearborn, Michigan-based publication The Arab American News, was arrested earlier this week and now faces up to five years in federal prison.
Forty-one-year-old Jeffrey Stevens, who lives in Indiana, was charged with one count of making threats using interstate communication, which carries a maximum punishment of five years in prison.
He reportedly wrote “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,” in a Facebook message to Indiana’s Fort Wayne Police Department. He continued, “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.”
According to an affidavit, he also threatened to “shoot every pro-Israel U.S. government official” and “make sure that every CIA member who is pro-Israel is eliminated.”
He claimed he had “strong Palestinian, Hezbollah, and Iranian contacts.”
In December, Stevens also allegedly wrote “People will remember me. I am going to be the pro-Palestinian who finally had enough that i started eliminating CIA operatives. You will only be remembered as one of the many bitches who were slaughtered. I am going to make sure that every CIA member who is pro-Israel is eliminated. I am so confident that I will give you my phone number, and there is nothing you can do about it because you are a botch [sic]. I will f**k you up.”
In other words, he’s brain-addled. But that only makes him more dangerous.
He admitted to making such threats during an interview with the FBI in early February, according to reports. He claims that he was drunk when he did so.
But it appears he made several death threats at different times. Are we to conclude that he was conveniently drunk every time? And even if he had been drunk, the extreme anti-Israel and anti-Jewish animus he expressed is no different from the views in his numerous anti-Israel articles, so the authorities should take his threats seriously.
Stevens has written more than 40 articles for The Arab American News, mainly about Israel-related subjects.
In a statement to The Algemeiner, the paper’s publisher, Osama Siblani, wrote that “I really don’t know the person very well. I spoke to him couple of times he mentioned to me that he was working for the Jerusalem Post in Israel and he is now in Indiana and would like to submit articles for publication to The Arab American News for no charge. I accepted to review and publish what is acceptable to our publication at no charge. And that was the case.”
It is implausible that Osama Siblani would have accepted articles for the Arab American News from someone who claimed to have written for the Jerusalem Post. Siblani is suggesting that he is a true moderate when it comes to Israel, perfectly willing to accept articles from someone who has written for a well-known Israeli paper. And he makes much of the fact that he did not have to pay Stevens for his articles, but says nothing about their content, both of those articles he published and those he turned down, which might have been sufficiently unhinged for Siblani to have a duty to report Stevens to the authorities. We know that he did not.
Siblani pointed out that “We have not published anything from Mr. Steven’s [sic] since sometimes [sic] in November last year.”…
Given Stevens’ articles, wouldn’t Siblani have been sufficiently uneasy to have someone on his staff check on Stevens’ social media posts?
“As for the threat he made, of course, they are his and we vehemently disagree with them and totally and unequivocally condemn these threats against anyone,” Siblani noted.
He also made clear that “Mr. Steven’s [sic] is not our employee and he never was. He was simply one of many contributors. We won’t accept any further submission[sic] from him. We are totally shocked and disappointed that he resorted to these kind [sic] of threats even though reports indicate that he was intoxicated when he made them, still that is not an excuse.”
Osama Siblani is now trying to distance himself as best he can from the death-threatening Mr. Stevens. He wants to make us believe he had no idea of Stevens’ views, hardly knew him, may have published a handful of articles. For god’s sake, he published forty articles by Stevens in the Arab American News, many of them dealing with Israel and its many sins.
At trial, we may learn more about what Osama Siblani knew, or should have known, about his frequent contributor, Jeffrey Stevens. Stevens will likely be in a federal prison for five years. As for Osama Siblani, there is a possibility he could be charged with misprision of felony, if it is determined that he knew about Stevens’ death threats against both Jews (a hate crime), and government officials and did not report them. He’s not out of the woods yet.

“Making threats”, and thinking that in today’s milieu he could get away with it.
carpediadem says
People usually do. Why would he think differently?
Istanbul_Chick says
I’d bet my right arm this creep belongs to stormfront. White supremacists and mo’s mad minions have been “buddies” for years through their mutual hatred of “da Jews!”
I hope this pig does serious prison time.
ElderlyZionist says
That might be some kind of German nationalist tri-color flag he’s holding. But I think it’s a Yemeni national flag that he’s got upside down.
James Lincoln says
Yes, ElderlyZionist, it sure looks like the Yemeni flag.

You always know a pro-pally leftist:the keffiyeh.
And no understanding of the fact that it is hamas that desire the genocide of the Jews {See Gharqad tree hadith}and the destruction of Israel.
Inane slgans and flag waving. are normal for the lefties.
I hope the botch enjoys prison.it’ll probably f*** the botch up
Who owns Israel?
{muslims and lefties don’t get it.
allah of the kaaba is NOT the Biblical God.Israel does not belong to allah
Lefties are most likely illiterate on such matters}
“MY Land”
Jeremiah 2:7
“you do not own it.It belongs to God”
Leviticus 25 v 23
You cannot destroy Israel.You can’t have it.It belongs to God.The Jews are entitled to dwell in Israel.But they don’t actually own Israel.
In fact any nation that trys to destroy Jeruslam will itself be destroyed..by God.
{Zechariah 12 v 11]
There is a reason God gave us Biblical Prophecy!
Joel 3 is an interesting read in yhe light of last oct 7th:you will see God is just and does bring catastrophe on the killers of the innocent see Joel 3 :19-21
Jews/Christians:You need to know prophecy
