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.

    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.

          They called me a liar and said my ego is over inflated. How is that not an attack on my person?

          This went downhill because I explained to them that what they did something to me is less than a paper cut, but I brought it up because they lumped me in a group I’m not a part of, the thing they were complaining about. I was calling them a hypocrite, not that my feelings were hurt.
