Police are investigating swastikas and other antisemitic graffiti found in the left-wing beach town of Santa Monica, California, which prides itself on its “progressive” politics. The local Santa Monica Daily Press reported: The Santa Monica Police Department (SMPD) is actively investigating multiple reports of anti-Semitic graffiti discovered in various locations throughout the city, including the Pico neighborhood (2100-2300 Pico Blvd) marking sidewalks, trees and light posts. In a statement, the SMPD expressed its unequivocal condemnation of these hateful acts. “This behavior deeply offends the values of our inclusive community and will not be tolerated.”

Racist and hateful graffiti including multiple swastikas and a school-shooting threat were found on the wall of an elite Manhattan high school last week, authorities said Monday. The disturbing graffiti included the messages “I Hate Blacks” and “I will shoot up the school,” cops said. They were found on a restroom stall at The Beacon School on West 44th Street near 11th Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen on Thursday, cops said. The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force is investigating the troubling vandalism, and no arrests had been made by Monday evening, police confirmed.

Attendees at the Oct. 4 ‘Free Palestine’ march were more focused on repeating anti-Israel slogans than helping liberate Gazans from Hamas.It usually takes 10 minutes, 15 at most, to get downtown from southeast D.C. On Saturday, it took over an hour. Traffic was at a standstill, and the metro was overflowing as protesters descended upon the nation’s capital to attend the People’s Forum “Free Palestine” march.The largest “pro-Palestine” protest in American history was centralized at Freedom Plaza — just a block away from the White House — but spilled into the surrounding areas as thousands of protesters splintered off into...

The owner of the iconic Jewish New York City deli that was vandalized with a swastika after expressing support for Israel was outraged to learn Wednesday about more hateful symbols found nearby. Jeremy Lebewohl, owner of 2nd Ave Deli, scrubbed off the anti-Semitic graffiti on his Upper East Side storefront a day after a tenant alerted him the eatery was defaced with the hate symbol. But Lebewohl told The Post he couldn’t believe even more swastikas were discovered on the corner of 75th Street and Second Avenue by a reporter.

As we witness the erosion of classically liberal societies and the rising tide of antisemitism, it becomes evident that leftist influences have played a significant role in fostering not only divisions but also the spread of Islamic hatred towards Jews. In recent days, Germany has seen more violent Jew-hatred, reminiscent of its dark Nazi past. The Star of David has been brazenly graffitied on the doors of Jewish homes in Berlin, marking a horrifying echo of anti-Semitic persecution during the Nazi era. This deeply troubling development is a grim reminder of the consequences when hatred is left unchallenged. This global...

Democratic New York Rep. Dan Goldman refused to explicitly condemn Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s refusal to speak out forcefully against Hamas’ terrorists attacks. Fox’s Hillary Vaughn confronted Tlaib over reports Hamas terrorists were chopping off Israeli babies’ heads and burning children alive. Tlaib refused to comment despite several opportunities. Tlaib also put out a statement saying she grieves “the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost yesterday, today, and every day.” “As long as our country provides billions in unconditional funding to support the apartheid government, this heartbreaking cycle of violence will continue,” Tlaib wrote. Fox & Friends’ Lawrence Jones asked Goldman...

A gunman fatally shot three Black people with an assault rifle covered with swastikas inside a Jacksonville, Florida store in what police are calling a “racially motivated” attack on Saturday. The victims were described as two African-American men and a woman, who were slain by a white male, who shot himself to death before he could be apprehended. The unidentified shooter was earlier seen lurking around the campus of a nearby historically black college before the attack— and he detailed his hatred of black people in one of “several manifestos,” law enforcement said.

A Florida man is facing multiple charges after he allegedly staged a pair of house fires and claimed they were racially motivated attacks when he fell behind on home payments. George Carneiro was arrested in connection with the March 13 blazes that caused “extensive property damage” at two newly built, vacant homes he owned in Clay Hill, the Clay County Sheriff’s Office announced on Tuesday. The incidents were initially investigated as hate crimes after deputies found signs with swastikas and emblazoned with the words “Latinos are not welcome” at the scene, WTLV reported. Officials now believe that Carneiro staged the...

On Friday, a man was arrested by Atlanta police after allegedly spray-painting swastikas on rainbow crosswalks in midtown. He has since been identified as 30-year-old Jonah Sampson. According to the City of Atlanta Police Department, Sampson is accused of defacing the rainbow crosswalks on two occasions, once on Wednesday and again on Friday. The crosswalks, which sit at the intersection of Piedmont Avenue and 10th Street, were installed following the 2016 Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida. As Fox News reports, a spokesman for Atlanta mayor Andre Dickens called the incident "disgusting," and applauded those who worked to remove the...

In the months before Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, an oligarch with Russian ties allegedly paid for locals to paint swastikas around Kharkiv, sources say. The effort, according to the sources, was part of a false flag operation to exaggerate Ukraine’s Nazi presence at a time when Putin was using it as a pretext for war. The alleged plot, according to multiple sources, involved Pavel Fuks, a real estate, banking, and oil magnate who, the sources claim, was co-opted by Russian security forces to participate. Through intermediaries, Fuks allegedly offered between $500 and $1,500 for street level criminals to vandalize...

It’s a pattern that’s almost algorithmic by now. Hateful graffiti or messages are used to deface a public place. Outrage ensues. Liberals publicly flog conservatives — especially those who support former President Donald Trump. The guilty party turns out to be someone diametrically opposed to conservative ideology. There was a bit of a deviation from the norm after the arrest of a man who allegedly sprayed swastikas on the entrance Union Station in Washington, D.C.’s, one day after Holocaust Remembrance Day. Usually, these things are the work of hoax artists. In this case, it turns out to be a Hispanic...

Nazi Arab: 1930s, 1940s & beyond Hitler was clear about his disdain for the Arab world, writing in Mein Kampf: "As a völkisch man, who appraises the value of men on a racial basis, I am prevented by mere knowledge of the racial inferiority of these so-called 'oppressed nations' from linking the destiny of my own people with theirs".[1] And the Grand Mufti al-Husseini has said "that after the Jews, the Germans would destroy the Arabs— he knew this."[46]In the 1930s, Arab students returning from studying in Europe were determined to found the Arab Nazi party.[2]In February, 1932, the predominat...

Sort of a proverb: If you look for something hard enough, you'll eventually find it — even if it's not really there. During our current moment, public discourse is obsessed with racism. In a population in excess of 300 million, there have to be some particularly hateful people. But racism is not the reason for the lower standard of living endured by the descendants of slaves who were freed by the Civil War. One of the smartest of the 300 million is a descendant of those slaves, Thomas Sowell. Dr. Sowell has written several books, one of which is titled...

Two German WWII tombstones at a Texas veterans cemetery — each bearing Nazi swastikas — have been removed and replaced with new ones that do not use the symbol. The 1943 gravestones belonging to German prisoners of war Alfred Kafka and Georg Forst at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery featured an Iron Cross with a swastika in the middle, and the phrase, “He died far from his home for the Leader (Führer), people and fatherland.” Cemetary workers removed the stones on Wednesday.

Jewish students at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign have filed a complaint with the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, alleging students facing an “unrelenting campaign” of anti-Semitic harassment. According to a release from The Louis D. Brandeis Center, the complaint details incidences dating back to 2015 including numerous swastikas found on the Urbana campus, Jewish ritual items such as menorahs and mezuzahs vandalized and windows of Jewish fraternity houses smashed by bricks. …

WASHINGTON — The US Veterans Administration will not replace three tombstones of soldiers who fought for Nazi Germany inscribed with swastikas in its military cemeteries, calling them “historic resources.” A group that advocates for religious freedom in the military on Monday called on the VA to replace two World War II-era POW headstones in Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio, Texas, inscribed with swastikas inside a German cross, and the phrase, “He died far from his home for the Führer, people, and fatherland.”

Responding officials found swastikas tagged on three vehicles, the garage door of a home and a stop sign, officials said in a news release. Investigators were interviewing neighbors and “following up on leads.” Officials do not believe the incident is a hate crime and it is being investigated as vandalism.
