Indiana Woman Charged With Ramming Her Car Into “Jewish School” Actually Run By Antisemitic Hate Group

Indianapolis’s Fox affiliate reports:

IMPD officers arrested a woman, who they labeled a “terrorist,” after she drove her car into a building that she thought was a Jewish school. However, the building is used by the Israelite School of Universal and Practical Knowledge which has been labeled an antisemitic hate group.

Ruba Almaghtheh, 34, was arrested on a preliminary charge of criminal recklessness. Almaghtheh told officers she was watching news coverage of the Israel-Hamas war on television and decided to plan an attack on the building because she was offended by the “Hebrew Israelite” symbol on the front of the building.

However, the Anti-Defamation League defines the Israelite School of Universal and Practical Knowledge as an “extreme and antisemitic” sect of the Black Hebrew Israelites. The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated the Black Hebrew Israelites as a hate group.
