This hate began at home.
A privileged teen from an affluent New Jersey suburb bragged about being “the biggest antisemite in America,” ranted about how he wanted to murder his artist mom’s Jewish friends and posed in his $1.2 million family home with swords and knives, according to shocking new court docs related to a major ISIS-linked terror network uncovered by the NYPD and FBI.
Milo Sedarat, 19, the son of a noted Iranian-American poet and a mother who hosted a local podcast, raged online about how he wanted to carry out mass executions of Jews, and wanted to run down pro-Israel demonstrations in multicultural Montclair, the US Attorney’s Office in New Jersey alleged in a complaint unsealed Thursday.
Via direct messages and social media, Sedarat, 19, and another unidentified man traded sickening antisemitic chats, according to the complaint.
“I can’t wait for the day I get to execute like 10 yahood,” he said, using what investigators say is an Arabic term for Jewish people.
Former Montclair High School football standout, Tomas Kaan Jimenez-Guzel, 19 — whose mother is a UN diplomat in charge of female entrepreneurship — was also arrested as part of the plot.
He allegedly wanted to carry out a Boston-bombing style attack that would make him so famous he’d have a wikipedia page and a Netflix special, according to court docs.
Jimenez-Guzel was trying to flee to Turkey with the plan to cross into Syria and join ISIS when he was arrested at Newark Liberty International airport earlier this week, the feds said.
Sedarat’s alleged threats of violence were closer to home.
Feds say he told his own mother that her Jewish friends “deserve to die.”
In response, he later whined, that she took away his samurai swords.
He also raved about carrying out mass executions on Jews, according to chats obtained by federal agents.
“Line up like 500 Jews and execute them in front of their wives and family. Then take all their wives [as] slaves. Imma have like 10 yahood slave girls inshallah,” he said, using the Arabic term for “God willing.”
Sedarat’s father, Roger, is an award-winning Iranian American poet and a professor at Queens College in New York City.
His mother, Janette Afsharian, is a former stockbroker turned local artist, and a four-time Emmy nominated creative director and multimedia producer, according to her LinkedIn profile.
The family lives in a three-story Victorian home built in 1899 on a quiet street off Upper Mountain Avenue, one of the wealthiest streets in Montclair lined on both sides with breathtaking historic mansions.
Neighbors described them to The Post as a “good family.”
But somehow, the former wrestler who attended the highly-regarded Montclair High School and seemingly had every advantage in life, wound up going down a dark path of hatred and violent ideation.
During a direct message exchange in January, authorities said Sedarat made comments like “filthy rat Jews need to be eliminated,” and “I’m the biggest antisemite in America.”
A few months later he followed that up with the proclamation that “everyone hates the Jews now,” and “I hope a second Holocaust happens to them.”
Last November, Sedarat expressed fear to his friend that his mother might somehow stumble upon his hateful messages, and said he tipped his hand by telling her that her Jewish friends “deserve to die.”
He also claimed his mother’s Jewish friends were “brainwashing her into being a Zionist,” and said he was going to “stab them with my sword.”
Sedarat sent numerous black and white images of himself to the unnamed recipient via social media in which he brandished a knife, a sword, or both. Some featured him dressed in all black and wearing a balaclava.
Other photos Sedarat shared featured him practicing shooting at a gun range, both with a handgun and a rifle.
Investigators said law enforcement believed he had purchased “knives, tactical gear, and other equipment online” and in one direct message exchange complained that his mother had hidden one of his Katana swords.
He once bragged that he always carried a knife and ski mask in his bag, and said that if he ever saw a Jewish Rabbi while walking the streets of New York City “[you know] what’s gonna happen … I would be fine with getting shot or going to prison … If I get to take him out,” he said.
“We need to do a 9/11 to [Tel Aviv],” he said in another exchange highlighted by law enforcement.
“Imagine being the guy who sends the missiles to Israel. Like Hezbollah guys … I wish we had missiles like that. It’s not the same tho. Even a gun … I wanna kill them with [a] sword. Look them in the eyes as I take their women and stab them,” he said.
“Imagine capturing like 509 Jews and executing them with a sword. Would be so satisfying.”
Acting US Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba announced the charges filed Wednesday against Sedarat and two other individuals who were part of a group chat along with two teenagers and a juvenile arrested in Michigan last week connected to an alleged ISIS-inspired Halloween terror plot — which they codenamed “Pumpkin.”
The suspects were allegedly gearing up for an attack on LGBTQ friendly bars in the Detroit suburb of Ferndale, Michigan, and had acquired numerous guns and over 1,600 rounds of ammunition.
