The Jewish Defense League (JDL) is a Jewish religious-political organization, whose stated goal is to"protect Jews from antisemitism by whatever means necessary". It was classified as "a right wing terrorist group" by the FBI in 2001. According to the FBI, the JDL has been involved in plotting and executing acts of terrorism within the United States.[1]
Extortion
According to a release of documents by the FBI in 2011, the JDL tried to extort Tupac Shakur and Eazy-E.[2][3][4] People of the organization issued death threats against the rappers and then sent intermediaries to demand protection payments.[5] An offer would have been made to protect the victim and family, bring them to a save haven and then “convince the victim they have worked a ‘deal’ out... and the threats cease. The victim then pays the subjects for the protection services rendered.”[6]
