(Jewish Group) Spate of antisemitic incidents across U.S. causes concern
Antisemitic posters, flyers and graffiti have littered different parts of the United States over the past week, with most stating Holocaust denial and preaching neo-Nazi sentiments.
The most recent incident was in Santa Monica earlier this week. Antisemitic graffiti saying the “Holocaust is a lie” was found on a well-known bicycle path in the city, and on a bridge alongside the words, “Why have Jews been kicked out of 109 countries?” and “Nationalism or extinction.”
On its Facebook page, the American Jewish Committee in Los Angeles wrote: “We are reminded that antisemitism continues to be a plague in our society.”
A police report has since been filed by AJC Los Angeles with the Santa Monica Police Department, and the city said it has since removed the graffiti, according to The Jewish Journal.
This is the second such incident in the city since last week, when a swastika and “Holocaust is a lie” were found on a frequented pedestrian bridge. The graffiti was quickly removed by the city.
