More than two dozen Madison families woke up to vulgar language and ethnic and racial slurs spray-painted on their property Saturday.

At least 30 west side homes – including garage doors, driveways and vehicles - were vandalized overnight, according to Madison Police Officer David Dexheimer. The complaints came from areas west of Gammon Road, including Colony Drive, Millstone Road, Harvest Hill Road and others. The damage is estimated at well over $10,000.

“I think we're talking about felony types of damage,” Dexheimer said.

While most of the damage included profane language and explicit drawings, several contained racially-based and anti-Semitic slurs and swastikas. Some of that property damage, located on Brule Circle, has neighbors in the community calling the incident a hate crime.

"Everyone in the neighborhood is pretty upset,” says Jim Stein, a neighbor who has lived on the street for 18 years.

Stein woke up Saturday morning to see “F--- Jews” written on a garage door right across the street. Later in the day, once the snow cleared, a swastika was visible on the driveway.

"It was, of course, extremely disturbing to me," said Stein, who is the president of the Jewish Federation of Madison. "This is anti-Semitic to the extent people feel comfortable equating Jewish people or the Jewish religion with sexual terms and sexual parts of people’s bodies."

Antisemitism will always be deeply ingrained in the left, because they are mostly atheists. WHY?

Well Christians make horrible anti-semites because being one violates one of the ten commandments.

Honor thy Father and Mother, which can also interpreted as “Honor your elders”.

Judaism is essentially the “elder religion” of Christianity.

While we may not always agree with our parents, we still as good Christians respect them and treat them with respect. The same goes for our elders, we respect them even if we don’t always agree on everything with them.

Atheists, or at least most of the ones I have know and known of, seem to always hate their parents and hate religion and religious laws, thus they will never “Honor their Elders”, they always “Rebel DIRECTLY AGAINST their Elders”, gee, didn’t someone else rebel against their parent a long long time ago...?

I think this “rebel against parents subconsciously” thing drive a great deal of anti-Semitic behavior in the left.

Anyone familiar enough with Madison to speculate on the chances that this anti-Semitic graffiti is being perpetrated by Moslem youth? Towns where large universities are based seem to attract enough radical Moslem youth to cause these ugly incidents. That would be my first thought anyway.

I’ve got no opinion, yet. The neighborhood where this happened is upper-middle class. Whoever did this had to make an EFFORT to do this - as in drive there to do it; it’s not near Campus at all.

But, being Madistan, it’ll be another unsolved crime due to ‘political correctness.’ THAT much, you can count on.

Could just be liberals. They’ve longstanding support for a multitude of radical organizations, including a failed but still ongoing effort to make Rafah a sister city and the usual Palestinian student organizations. Could be anyone

By using that term "Madistan," do you imply there's a large enough Muslim presence in the city to make Islamic radical activity something to be winked at by law enforcement? Same attitude as is common now in western Europe?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

No, we just call it, ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan’ with all the Commies roaming around freely...the Muslim population isn’t huge. Yet.
