Minneapolis synagogue vandalized with hate symbols
Minneapolis police are investigating after hate symbols were painted on a synagogue on Monday morning.
Surveillance video from Temple Israel showed a person painting swastikas on a pillar outside the synagogue on Emerson Avenue South at 7:19 a.m.
Minneapolis police say the suspect, pictured below, was wearing a white hoodie with the hood up, a black face covering, black jogger pants, and tan boots. They spent less than two minutes at the temple and left in a silver Honda Civic.
Officials say a hate symbol was painted on the pillar and on one of the wooden doors.

Antisemitism is one of those things that shows the horseshoe nature of the political spectrum.

When hate is embraced or tolerated, it is emboldened. Ive seen antisemitism increase over the last year, yet too few have spoken out against it, opting for the safety of silence. No matter ones ethnicity or race, when any group is targeted, its on all of us to condemn it.

Emboldened by Trump.

(6,397 posts)5. And what makes you think this was a Trumper.
When the largest massacre of Jews since the holocaust happened, people took to the streets to celebrate people. Many of them were on the left.
Antisemitism is a cause that unites the far left with the far right.

I think it's FAR more likely it came from one of those moronic college protesters who think that vandalizing property is perfectly okay.
