    The article is poorly written. Wray’s comments were talking about “violent domestic extremists targeting Jewish or Muslim communities, such as…”

    He does elsewhere talk about the specific rise in antisemitism and disproportionate recent increase of threats against Jews, including as called for by foreign terrorist organizations.

    So the overall article theme isn’t incorrect.

    But his primary focus was on how events in the Middle East might lead to violence against Americans, and was discussing both Jewish and Muslim Americans in the part of his speech those examples were pulled from.
