Swastikas in Queens

NY1

Four swastikas showed up on the walls of the Jackson Heights branch of the Queens Library Thursday.

At least one more was painted on the library branch in East Elmhurst, and another was etched on the door of a synagogue on 88th Street....

.... Police believe the incidents in three separate locations are related. They are being investigated by the hate crimes taskforce. Local leaders plan to hold a news conference Friday to denounce this kind of hateful vandalism.

WE must realize that with economic hardhip anti-Semitism will rise. I REFUSED TO COVER UP THE SWASTIKAS PAINTED ON MY SYNAGOGUE TWO YEARS AGO and left them on for a week for everyone to see. There were 9 incidents of swastikas in my town and no one was every caught. Hatred must not be tolerated. RABBI DR. BERNHARD ROSENBERG
