(Israel National News) The grounds of a synagogue in the Boston suburb of Sharon was vandalized with bizarre amorphic symbols that allegedly “look like” swastikas:
Congregants of Temple Sinai in Sharon, Massachusetts, located about 25 miles south of Boston, discovered swastika-like graffiti splashed over the large Star of David in the pavement near the synagogue’s front entryway as they arrived for Friday night Shabbat services. They reported it to the Sharon police department, which is investigating the incident.
Two similar markings made with a sticky liquid substance were found in the plantings in the mulch beds on either side of the building, according to a police department statement posted on its Facebook page, along with photos of the vandalism. The town has a sizeable Jewish population and is home to several synagogues.
“While these markings were easily removed with soap and water, we imagine that their presence may remain in your minds, hearts and spirits,” synagogue president Cindi Crutchfield wrote to congregants and shared with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. Crutchfield offered congregants support from clergy as well as from mental health professionals who are members of the temple.
In an earlier email sent to congregants by Rabbi Joseph Meszler, the rabbi encouraged people to attend religious services, and various synagogue programs planned for the weekend. “We will share in a prayer for strength when faced with adversity: Am Yisrael Chai – the Jewish people lives. This is not only a chant of defiance but also a statement that we should continue to lead our lives fully, without fear,” Rabbi Meszler wrote.
“Synagogues are increasingly becoming ground zero as anti-Semites continue sending messages of hatred to Jews,” Robert Trestan, regional director of the New England Anti-Defamation League, told JTA.
Of course, if you give a group of Jews Rorschach Tests, they will probably see subliminal “swastikas” in most of them, so it should surprise no one that this alleged graffiti is being reported to the police as a potential “hate crime,” even though it looks nothing like a real swastika.
And sadly, Jews have been so traumatized by their own non-stop reporting of every alleged incident of “antisemitism”, it’s no wonder that even some blotches on the pavement now require onlookers to seek psychiatric care.
How is it possible that Jews can “live without fear” if the ADL and every other Jewish watchdog group is constantly reminding them that they are about to be victims of a sudden, irrational and violent pogrom for no reason whatsoever? No only that, none of these reports of “antisemitism” include the caveat that over 70% of all reported “hate crimes” turn out to be hoaxes.
But then again, if they don’t treat the hoaxes as real, how can they keep the average Jew living in fear for their lives? And a fearful Jew is a controllable Jew.
I would be appalled to know how much law enforcement paid to investigate such little things for a people who feel they are more entitled then the rest of us. I got my fence cut, two cameras stolen and some old appliances I did not care about beat up by a Jewish neighbor who paid two thugs. NOT ONE COP CAME HERE TO INVESTIGATE. Only entitled people get such tax money to investigate and yes they are huge drama queens and love it!

Hippies in the 60’s attained a ‘heightened state of consciousness’ when experimenting with Psychedelic drugs. I’m sure those seeing NS emblems in every nook and cranny are those (now grown up) hippies with a permanent ‘heightened state of consciousness’.
I wonder if the early Bolsheviks noticed the hated emblem on the reverse of their 250 Rouble (Kerensky) note? Coincidentally, Kerenski’s mother was Jewish.
Yeah, it looks like someone, maybe a maintenance worker, spilled something on the floor, but Jews are so used to being victims that they automatically assume the worst. “Janitor Spills Something On Floor at Synagogue” isn’t going to get much worldwide sympathy….
From Wkipedia: “Sharon is home to 7 synagogues, 9 churches, and one of the largest mosques in New England.” Also, 14% are immigrants from (((Russia))). Sounds like a tolerant and diverse area, not likely to harbor anti-semites.
Curious that another series of anti-semitic incidents in Sharon MA was found to be done by one of their own: https://www.jta.org/2018/06/04/united-states/man-arrested-repeated-vandalism-sharon-mass-eruv
Despite getting the lion’s share of a DHS grants to fund security cameras at religious institutions believed vulnerable to terrorism, vandals at jewish facilities seem to elude the authorities and ADL offers of rewards for information (as far as I can tell) go unclaimed.
