Antisemitic graffiti was found on posters critical of Israel pasted to a utility cabinet at the intersection of Old Georgetown Road and Grand Park Avenue near Pike & Rose yesterday, December 9, 2023. Swastikas and genocidal messages about Israel, and a numerical code used by Neo-Nazis, were among the things written onto the posters. A reader forwarded these photos of the posters and graffiti, which appeared just two days after a menorah was toppled outside a synagogue in Olney at the start of the Chanukah holiday.
I think the message is wrong but come on this is hardly graffiti… someone wrote on a flier with a pen. No need to sensationalize it.
ReplyDelete6:31: This is the first time I've ever heard that the seriousness of hate speech can be determined by the medium used to write it.
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely correct, Robert. This is alarming.
DeleteI’m not saying the language isn’t appalling or despicable, it is. But the medium used to write the message definitely determines how seriously to take it. If you think all messages are equally as serious, then you can go find some really big stories written on the side of gas station bathroom stalls! You should go take some photos of those messages too
Delete6:31, although it might look like one at first, the flyer is not one of the earlier kind (around whose removals controversies have surfaced) that depict individual hostages taken and still held by Hamas.
ReplyDeleteTake a closer look at their text (click on the images): these entire flyers could themselves be called anti-Semitic.
The Squad and the Ivy League presidents would be proud. Well, the soon to be former presidents anyway.
ReplyDeleteThe great preponderance of anti-Semitism in this country is from the left as demonstrated by the testimonies before a Congressional committee of the presidents of Harvard, U Penn and MIT.
ReplyDeleteAll the goings on around here the past 48 hrs and this is what you choose to post and comment on? SMH
ReplyDeleteIt's really all about the degradation of society and consequences our 'ruling 'majority'' fail to understand.
