News: Vandals turned a Jewish family's menorah into a swastika

Serpentine

Quote:

When Naomi and Seth Ellis’s young sons said that they wanted lights on their house in Chandler, Ariz., like all their neighbors’ Christmas decorations, the parents knew what to tell their three Jewish boys: Yes.

One trip to Lowe’s, $100 worth of PVC pipe, nine solar-powered lights and a coat of shiny gold paint later, the Ellises had a shining 7-foot-tall Hanukkah menorah on their lawn.

But on Friday morning, the Ellises had something new to tell their boys, and they weren’t sure how to say it.

After the boys went to bed on the sixth night of Hanukkah, someone dismantled their special menorah and turned it into a giant swastika.

With that logic it could be an anti Israel liberal who did that....

Anti-Israel is not the same as anti-semitic.

Liberal social politics are about tolerance so you're not really a 'liberal' if you would do something like this.

Judaism =/= Zionism.

Israel is a sign of Zionism.
The menorah is a sign of Judaism.

Of course anyone of any political belief can be an antisemite, but the almost non-existing amount of nazis who subscribe to leftist ideology in the US probably gives a hint who did this...

You don't need to be a nazi, which is an national ideology, to be anti-semitic. You can be very well deep in the left and hide your anti-semitism behind pretty words.

So disrespectful.

Don't be dense, dear, there's neo-nazis all over the US who don't have German roots who subscribe to the pro-white message. To many of them, white Jews are not white and these people, by large, congregate in the right of the political spectrum.
