A swastika was left on a wall of the Horwitz-Wasserman Holocaust Memorial Plaza in Philadelphia
A Holocaust memorial in Philadelphia has been vandalised with a swastika as acts of antisemitism continue to rise across the country.
The Horwitz-Wasserman Holocaust Memorial Plaza said in a post that earlier this weekend, an unidentified figure vandalised a wall of the plaza, drawing a large swastika.
The memorial’s post described it as “a disgusting act of antisemitism that comes amid a staggering spike in anti-Jewish hatred across Philadelphia and the country more broadly”.
While the swastika graffiti has been removed from the wall, according to NBC, the organisation is asking anyone who may have any information about the vandalism to contact the Philadelphia Police Department.
“Mostly just ribbing me” with stereotypes is exactly what I’m fucking talking about.
Imagine if you said- “I’m also mostly just ribbing you. 3 types of black people: Pastors, big mamas and Charlamagne Tha God?” to a black person. Do you think that’s an acceptable thing to say to a black person? I sure as fuck don’t. So why are you saying something similar to a Jew?
You give me a mild insult, one that I’m used to, and even the “in group” I’m a part of on the Internet also will make similar jokes about themselves. Then I just repeated what you said to me but applied to you.
You’re mad at a mirror. And if you wanted me to believe you then you wouldn’t have done it a second time.
