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.

    How old are you? I’m in my 30’s and a mechanic. If you don’t even attempt to understand someone different then why are you talking so much on the Internet? I was referencing baseball because you said you were American.

    I haven’t lied, I said I’m queer and your next response switched over to saying effectively “when cishet people groups you like this doesn’t it make you mad?”

    And I will accuse you of insulting me. You obviously did, and you’re doing it more and more. From my perspective for no good reason.

      My next response was another example I thought most people would understand. And considering the fact that my daughter is a Jewish lesbian, I thought it was a very good example from my own life.

      It had nothing to do with you. Turn your ego down about a million notches. I don’t know anything about you, nor do I care.

        me - “I’m queer”
        You - “Gay people be like”

        So when someone brings something up about themselves, and then you go and talk about that thing it’s up to the other person…to be psychic? If you just want to monologue then I recommend starting a YouTube channel. This spat has nothing to do with my ego.
