Antisemitic Graffiti in Beverly Hills

• Views: 4,329

Over the weekend, homes and stores in Beverly Hills were defaced with anti-Jewish and anti-American graffiti: Beverly Hills homes and stores defaced in graffiti attack.

About 15 homes and stores were vandalized over the weekend with graffiti attacking various religious, political and minority groups, police said Monday.

The graffiti was found early Sunday on upscale homes, two clothing retailers and a Pottery Barn store, which included statements hostile to President Bush and Jews, police Lt. Mitch McCann said.

No synagogues, mosques or other religious institutions were damaged and the vandalism lacked any specific patterns, McCann said. Police were investigating the incidents and no arrests had been made, he said.

The attacks, which targeted sites between Sunset and Santa Monica boulevards, coincided with the Jewish new year, Rosh Hashanah.

UPDATE: A reader in Los Angeles informs us that, contrary to the report above, synagogues in LA were indeed defaced over Rosh Hashanah weekend:

I can attest to the fact that there was indeed graffiti spray painted on walls of at least two synagogues that I personally passed by on Sunday on Pico Blvd. One was Aish HaTorah at Pico and Doheny and the other was Bnai David a few blocks east on Pico. I did not see what had been written and on Sunday Bnai David had covered it with a sheet so that people going to shul for the second day of Rosh Hashanah would not have to see it.
