Yet another Jewish cemetery vandalized

(IsraelNN.com) Twenty-six gravestones have been vandalized in a Kazan, Russia cemetery, according to a May 26, 2005 report by the local news agency Intertat.ru. [I couldn't find the original.]

Swastikas were painted on several of the tombstones on the morning of May 25, including that of the recently deceased head of the Jewish community, Leonid Sonts.


This report at Arutz Sheva is the only one listed at Google News. Nothing whatsoever at Yahoo News about it.

I DID find articles, however, about swastikas on cars "and other surfaces" in Queens (NYC); on flags at soccer games in Argentina; a home in Houston; inside an apartment in Arkansas; on a road in Lufkin TX; on the walls of a Hispanic market and restaurant in Tennessee; on CFI (Chicago Friends of Israel) posters in the library at the University of Chicago; on a memorial to Polish soldiers in Berlin; on tennis courts in Norristown PA; on about a dozen tombstones at the Washburn Street Cemetery in Scranton PA; synagogues in Geneva and the Ukraine; on houses, apartments and cars in New Brunswick Canada; on the Herzog House in Ireland (residence of Israel's former chief rabbi of Ireland, Halevy Herzog, whose son Chaim became Israel's sixth president) [Also this month in Ireland: on the gates of the Central Synagogue, at the Jewish Museum, at a home for Jewish Senior Citizens and on the gates of two -pardon me, the two- Jewish cemeteries], on a bridge in a park in Spring Lake/Ferrysburg MI; in the prison cell of a former UN official -a German national- who committed suicide at the NY upstate correctional facility; carved into the sides of cars in Sharon MA; and one, perhaps unintentional, on the ceiling at the Twin Cities Metrodome.

If I'm not mistaken, these were all in the last month or so. At least the stories about them are current. All I did was search Google News for "swastikas." Got more than I bargained for - I suddenly feel very tired. No, I think I feel sick.

Just think, I probably only scratched the surface.
