A New York man is accused of allegedly threatening to bomb a Brookline hotel that flew a Palestinian flag while a U.S. representative was staying there.

Daniel Freundlich, 45, of Brooklyn, allegedly made several calls to the Iris Hotel in Brookline, asked if the hotel was a “Jew free zone,” and said that he would “make sure something blows up” if he stayed there, according to a Brookline police report.

Freundlich faces one felony count out of Brookline District Court of making a bomb or hijacking threat, court records show.

The Iris Hotel first started to receive provocative phone calls in mid-April when management raised a Palestinian flag on the building’s flagpole, according to a police report. This caused “an uproar” in the Jewish community and prompted a protest outside the hotel.
