Swastikas Sprayed on Synagogue Walls in Kiryat Motzkin

by Yehuda Ariel

Swastikas and slogans slurring religious Jews were scrawled on the walls of a synagogue in Kiryat Motzkin last week. The Chief Rabbi of the city, HaRav Dovid Meir Druckman, said that this occurrence is the direct result of incessant incitement against religious and chareidi Jews.

Members of the Kiryat Motzkin main synagogue arriving there to daven on Monday morning 27 Kislev were shocked to discover that two swastikas had been sprayed on the synagogue walls. This is the second time that anonymous vandals have defaced the synagogue in this way. Additional graffiti was scrawled on the walls of the adjacent Menachem LeTzion synagogue. Members of the synagogue complained to the police, who took a long time to appear on the scene.

Rabbi Druckman said that he cannot understand why official bodies have disregarded this incident. He says that this is a very serious crime and that the anonymous vandals must be apprehended.
