Vandals painted swastikas and anti-Semitic slogans on tombstones in a Jewish cemetery in eastern Slovakia, marking the third such attack about a month, police said Thursday.
The vandalism was discovered Wednesday in the eastern Slovak city of Humenne, police spokesman Igor Harajbic said. Authorities are investigating.
In two other attacks on Jewish cemeteries during the past month, tombstones were overturned or broken.
Slovakia's Jewish community dwindled following World War II, after a majority of this central European country's Jews died in concentration camps. Since then, most of the country's 620 Jewish cemeteries have been deserted and have at times become a target of attacks.

Damnitalltohell! What is the freaking problem with these idiots?
I've been on this earth for quite a while now and no Jew has ever harmed me. Where does all this bigotry come from?

Isn't that nice? Swastikas and Anti-semetic messages. I wonder if these gutless wonders would have the courage to stand up to the relatives of these people and try that nonsense. No, they are indeed gutless wonders as they sneak into a holy cemetery in a sacred resting place and pick on people who are buried and cannot fight back. That takes a lot of guts. They are truly gutless wonders and pond scum to boot. Let them try it with the relatives. Bet they would be singing a different tune tonight if they could speak at all. This is a crime against a people and it needs to be stopped!

You know, I feel the same way.
I have NEVER met a Jew that has wronged me nor have I ever known of a Jew that is deserving of such hatred.
It just doesn't make sense unless you look into the Bible and see what is on the horizon.
Genesis 12
1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Matthew 24
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

"I've been on this earth for quite a while now and no Jew has ever harmed me. Where does all this bigotry come from?" It's called "killing the messenger."
