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.

      I said I was queer and you then list “cishet, gay, lesbian” and some tropes associated with them. Then do one of the funniest unintentional trope for what I am, which would be bi erasure.

      You going ‘the three sexualities are het,gay, lesbian’ made me think of the one meme of “ah yes the [number] genders”.

      For whatever reason I cannot upload files otherwise I would attach the memes for you. Image search “ah yes the 3 genders” should turn it up for you though.

      Me saying that stuff, wasn’t me trying to be insulting. It was showing that I know what you’re talking about. But it wasn’t an attack. Definitely close to seeing a coworker slightly tired and saying something like “you look like you’re ready to run a marathon.”

        When did I say you were cishet, gay or lesbian? When did I say those were the three sexualities? When did I say there were any number of genders?

        You are just lying and I don’t know why.

          Don’t you think cishet people

          Saying you know I’m not cishet

          gay men go mincing around

          Swing one

          lesbians are super butch

          Swing two

          When did I say there were any number of genders

          Look at the first line in my response. CIS so you did bring up genders. Then later you got 3 things wrong, which reminded me of a meme where they get 3 things wrong. “You going ‘the three sexualities are het,gay, lesbian’ made me think of the one meme”

          You are just lying and I don’t know why.

          You’re so ready to win a competition that only you are a part of. I’m trying to have a talk and you want to fight.

            Lie. I wasn’t talking about you.

            Swing one

            What?

            Swing two

            What?

            Then later you got 3 things wrong,

            You mean the things I said were untrue stereotypes? Or are you actually making the ridiculous claim that all gay men mince and all lesbians are butch? Because that is fucking insulting.

            You’re so ready to win a competition that only you are a part of. I’m trying to have a talk and you want to fight.

            Then don’t lie and accuse me of insulting you.

              How old are you? I’m in my 30’s and a mechanic. If you don’t even attempt to understand someone different then why are you talking so much on the Internet? I was referencing baseball because you said you were American.

              I haven’t lied, I said I’m queer and your next response switched over to saying effectively “when cishet people groups you like this doesn’t it make you mad?”

              And I will accuse you of insulting me. You obviously did, and you’re doing it more and more. From my perspective for no good reason.

                My next response was another example I thought most people would understand. And considering the fact that my daughter is a Jewish lesbian, I thought it was a very good example from my own life.

                It had nothing to do with you. Turn your ego down about a million notches. I don’t know anything about you, nor do I care.

                  me - “I’m queer”
                  You - “Gay people be like”

                  So when someone brings something up about themselves, and then you go and talk about that thing it’s up to the other person…to be psychic? If you just want to monologue then I recommend starting a YouTube channel. This spat has nothing to do with my ego.

                    This is lunatic behavior. You’re inventing attacks upon yourself just to victimize yourself. No one said shit about you but you took it personally and got angry over literally nothing. It is astounding how much you’re trying to double down on something no one said. You are tilting at windmills, Don Quixote. Have fun with that.
