Dozens of cars, homes tagged with anti-Semitic graffiti in San Antonio Jewish community

SAN ANTONIO — A Jewish community on the North Side woke to widespread anti-Semitic vandalism Wednesday morning that included spray-painted swastikas, “KKK” lettering and other hateful slurs.

“(We are) saddened and outraged,” said Howard Feinberg, a board member of the Rodfei Sholom Congregation, located near Northwest Military Drive and Huebner Road. “When we were finishing our morning prayers around 7 a.m., we became aware that in the neighborhood around our synagogue, there was a lot of graffiti of the anti-Semitic and racial nature.”

More than 30 cars and homes were tagged with hateful graffiti sometime overnight, according to the San Antonio Police Department.

An anti-Semitic crime has not been reported in San Antonio in the past two years, according to the Anti-Defamation League, a national group that tracks such incidents.

“This is where we walk our children for learning, for synagogue, where families congregate and gather to strengthen their relationship with God and with one another,” said Winslow Swart, another board member at Rodfei Sholom, over the hum of a pressure washer cutting through graffiti.

A Arab oil interest nation has been building up within Texas for decades.

It seems to me the only vocal anti-Semites these days are the left themselves.

I ask because I really do not know. Do Jewish families not keep dogs to patrol outside activities at night?

My canines have alerted me to multiple nocturnal events that I confronted and prevented. My Boxer has an arrest to his credit.

I there much of a track record in the U.S. for fake antisemitic vandalism?

I know that there's tons of fake anti-black and anti-gay vandalism. Pretty much all such incidents on college campuses, for example, are fake.

But anti-Jewish vandalism as far as I've heard tends to be real, and is usually committed by far-left BDS types, or by imported or locally-grown Muslim "youth".

Texas Tea Party types should reach out and help them patrol @ nights. Build some bridges, it would be good....

In a suburb? What, to bark?

Without exception those are false flag operations. The burning of black churches is almost invariably traced to an insurance fraud scheme.

But anti-Jewish vandalism as far as I've heard tends to be real, and is usually committed by far-left BDS types, or by imported or locally-grown Muslim "youth".

Anti-Jewish vandalism and violence is a far different case. It's real and growing under the hussein regime which had not only sanctioned it but is, more than likely, actually actively orchestrating it. The KKK involvement can't be denied since the Klan remains -- to this day -- just another wing of the DemonKKKrat party. The anti-Jewish and anti-Catholic platform of the Ku Klux Klan is even more pronounced than its objections to individuals of a certain hue. There's no doubt in my mind that the mobilization of the Klan to attack Jewish people and sites comes directly from the White Hut. They're fellow 'RATs after all.
