A swastika was left on a wall of the Horwitz-Wasserman Holocaust Memorial Plaza in Philadelphia
A Holocaust memorial in Philadelphia has been vandalised with a swastika as acts of antisemitism continue to rise across the country.
The Horwitz-Wasserman Holocaust Memorial Plaza said in a post that earlier this weekend, an unidentified figure vandalised a wall of the plaza, drawing a large swastika.
The memorial’s post described it as “a disgusting act of antisemitism that comes amid a staggering spike in anti-Jewish hatred across Philadelphia and the country more broadly”.
While the swastika graffiti has been removed from the wall, according to NBC, the organisation is asking anyone who may have any information about the vandalism to contact the Philadelphia Police Department.
I’ve been to Israel multiple times, I can read Hebrew (with nearly no understanding of what I’m saying) and I didn’t cheat for my bar mitzvah.
All that being said, I find most Israelis in the United States insufferable. In Israel, you’ll find far more people who are far more fun, but most of them in a semi-tolerable way. I’ve got a lot of Israeli family who I love and adore and recognize their flaws.
Anyway, I feel that your assessment is skewed due to a small dataset, but if you expanded the dataset, you’d find that you weren’t really that far off…
Except for the sesame halvah. You gotta find the right kind, and then it’s delicious. There’s no middle-ground, though.
