A dual U.S.-German citizen was arrested and charged for attempting to carry out a firebombing attack on the U.S. Embassy Branch Office in Tel Aviv last week. Joseph Neumayer, 27, was taken into custody by federal agents on Saturday at JFK International Airport, just hours after being deported from Israel, where he allegedly attempted to ignite a violent act against American diplomatic personnel. According to a criminal complaint unsealed in Brooklyn federal court, Neumayer posted a disturbing call to action on Facebook on May 19: “Join me this afternoon in Tel Aviv, we are burning down the U.S. embassy.” He included additional statements expressing hostility toward the United States and President Donald Trump.
