Synagogue Vandalized in Miami Beach
Arutz Sheva ^ | 7-28-14 | AFP and Arutz Sheva Staff

Nazi swastikas and the name of the Islamist movement Hamas were spray-painted in red on the entrance to a Jewish synagogue in Miami Beach, local media reported Monday.

The vandalism, which authorities were investigating as a probable "hate crime," was discovered by a neighborhood watch patrol where the Torah V'Emunah synagogue is located.

Yona Lunger, a volunteer patrol member, said she did a double-take when she came upon the graffiti.

"I saw this and then I stopped and I said, 'Wait a minute. What am I seeing here?' and then I backed up again and I looked again and I immediately sent a text to the two supervisors," she told Miami's Channel 7 news.

Television images showed swastikas and the name "Hamas" spray-painted on the synagogue's columns.

The incident followed another on Saturday in which a Miami Beach family found their cars covered in eggs and the words "Hamas" and "Jew" written on the windows.

"I mean, honestly, it makes you question if it's safe to walk around wearing your yarmulke, like how safe you really are in America," said Josh Rosenberg, one of the family's neighbors.

Anti-Semitism in the US and worldwide has skyrocketed since Operation Protective Edge, Israel's self-defense operation in Gaza, began 21 days ago

Must have been. I've looked at it from all four angles and I don't see a swastika.

It’s not a hate crime in 0b0z0’s world.

Not a “hate crime” - it was not committed by white Christians.

But yeah, dyslexia probably plays a large part in the world view of these vandals.

If it wasn’t for the “Hamas” spay-painted under the Swastika, we’d already have several MSM stories blaming this on the Tea Party and “right wing hate.” With the Hamas, that will probably take another day or so.

Media won’t report this..they only report if something is done to one of their precious mosques..otherwise its not worth reporting since its done to a Jewish site..by the way, that has to be the worst graffiti Ive ever seen..Ive seen better graffiti in South Central

Could be extremely smart vandals; just that they were mentally exhausted from their perilous journey across the Southern border.

It’s interesting that this anti-Semitic attack took place in the Congressional district of the Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

It’s not surprising that Democratic President Obama’s pro-Hamas sentiments are being expressed around the country, particularly at synagogues.

Will the members of the vandalized synagogue fight back or are they as pro-Hamas as their Congresswoman?

Yona Lunger, a volunteer patrol member...

It's come to this? That one must patrol one's synagogue or church (our own church was recently vandalized) in AMERICA?

We don't allow this behavior in Mordor.

I think the Synagogue patrol should take VP Biden’s advise and carry shotguns and if necessary use them.
Problem solved.

Biden said to shoot them out the window. Waste of ammo. Headshots work better.
