Presumably a false flag according to anti-semitic conspiracy theorists.

anti-semitic conspiracy theorists.
So is that conspiracy theorists who are anti-semitic, or is it theorists about anti-semitic conspiracies, or is it people who are against semitic conspiracy theorists or...
I vaguely remember George Soros being mentioned with respect to anti-semitism, but I can't remember which side he was on.

It appears George Soros is not liked by Netanyahu. Who decides what constitutes anti-semitism - the Jews at B'Tselem or the Netanyahu government?

JAFFA, Israel — As a Holocaust survivor, a successful financier who embraces free market capitalism and a philanthropist who champions liberal democracy, George Soros should be a darling of the Israeli establishment. But Mr. Soros has failed the only litmus test that seems to count for Israel’s current leadership: unconditional support for the government, despite its policies of occupation, discrimination and disregard for civil and human rights....
...Through his Open Society Foundations, Mr. Soros also contributes to the Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem and the anti-occupation group Breaking the Silence, which have been subjected to a growing delegitimization campaign by the Israeli government.

Soros is a democrat, and Trump supporters can't stand him. They believe he organised (and paid) coach loads of people to turn up and demonstrate when Trump first took office. Whether there's any truth in that who knows.
It is interesting timing though - just before the mid-term elections.

Has nothing whatsoever to do with this.

I feel the need to point out that the reports of these bombs aren’t just Trump critics, they are people Trump has openly insulted and lied about. My feeling is that this isn’t so much about silencing Trump critics and pleasing him by eliminating those Trump has accused of being anti American.

I wonder if Trump knows who is planting these devices?

I doubt it. That’s not the point. He’s incited it.

Nothing would surprise me about that awful man, but you are correct in saying he incited it.

Someone has been arrested in connection with these bombs.

Trump and his toadies are suggesting that it's a false-flag (tiresome cliche beloved of conspiracy nuts) operation by Democrats, to give the right a bad name.

As one would expect from Trump and his mob.

And people will believe it, just like they believe that the screaming children and parents at the border crossings are actors, not families distraught at being separated from each other.

The man they have arrested appears to have been a Trump supporter.

That won't shut up the right-wing conspiracy nuts. They'll just say he's a patsy.
