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.

    If by “we” you mean Americans, then we certainly do have a lot to do with funding and supplying Israel’s genocide machine. I’m not justifying what happened, just pointing out that our leaders are making us complicit in all this shit.

      I didn’t fund anything. No one asked me whether or not I wanted to fund Israel. But I get shit for it anyway because of who my ancestors are.
