I'm going to join the pile-on because it's so absurd. What do you call bomb threats to 54 Jewish Community Centers?https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/834092248799154180 …

I question whether those incidents can be cited as evidence of a society-wide, statistical uptick in anti-semitic sentiment.

You won't see stats until a few months or a year down the road, but it is objectively true this was not happening before.

'Thing A wasn't happening as much until very recently' sounds like evidence that something has changed.

Can we at least get basic info as to the perpetrators of the bomb hoaxes before constructing grand narratives?

There is zero problem with this narrative: anti-Semitic incidents are on the rise.

So you know for a fact that there were more incidents in February 2017 than February 2016?

Yes. In February 2016 there were not dozens of bomb threats phoned in to Jewish Community Centers.

The bomb threats are obviously bad. Whether the resulting alarmist, lazy media narrative is justified: doubtful.
