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.

    And pretending like you didn’t say something antisemitic is also silly. Especially when you took great umbrage to an insult I never made.

      I didn’t take great umbrage. That was 3 lines out of 30. And also once again sandwiched between me agreeing with you mostly.

      Also once again, if you’re saying I said something antisemitic, then you said something homophobic first.

      Once again, you’re arguing against a mirror.

      Weird, I thought reminding people worked :/

        I said absolutely nothing homophobic whatsoever. That is a scurrilous lie. In fact, I very blatantly talked about stereotypes of gay men and lesbians. Note I never once even implied you were either because I don’t give a shit what you are.

        You, however, said:

        3 types of Jewish people: Rabbi’s, Brooklyn mom’s, and John Stewart.

        Which is just blatantly antisemitic. You cannot quote one single homophobic thing I said. You just imagined I was talking about you as if you matter to me, which you don’t.

          If you want to take the worst possible interpretation of what I said then I’m just going to do the same to you.

          If you’re saying I said something antisemitic, then you said something homophobic first.

            I quoted what you said that was antisemitic. You can’t quote what I said that was homophobic because I said nothing homophobic. The one time you tried, you dishonestly took what I said out of context as if I was saying that all gay men DO mince around and all lesbians ARE butch when I was saying THE EXACT OPPOSITE. I don’t know why you did that.

            Again- you said something antisemitic. I quoted it. You cannot quote a single homophobic thing I said. Not a single thing.

                Your paraphrased conversation is in no way homophobic. That’s why it’s paraphrased and not a quote.

                And I did quote an antisemitic thing you said, so you’re lying again. I think I’ll just report you for trolling and move on.

                  See now I’m quoting you saying something homophobic. Amazing what happens when you want to attack something.

                  I’ll just do the same, once again, you’re mad at a mirror.

                    I will be responding to you both, and ask very nicely that you shut this argument down. Moderators don’t want to play man in the middle, and you’re both using the reporting feature to try to win this argument. This stops now, or you both get a week vacation from !news.
