As the Israel-Hamas war continued for more than a month, a Jewish cemetery was damaged in the United States. In Australia, attacks on Jews continue, including one Jewish person being assaulted by a pro-Palestinian mob.
According to Fox 8, a Fox Network-affiliated TV channel in Cleveland, USA, on the 12th (local time), the Chesed Shel Emet Jewish Cemetery, located west of Cleveland, Ohio, was damaged. In the cemetery, several gravestones had Nazi swastikas spray-painted in red. Accordingly, cleaning work was carried out that day.
In response to the incident, the Jewish Federation of Cleveland said in a statement: “It is truly disgusting that anyone could have so much hatred for the Jewish people that they would desecrate a cemetery.” “It was at a level that never existed before,” he said. “We will continue to fight hatred against all communities with unwavering resolve,” he added.
The Jewish Federation of Cleveland later expressed its gratitude on Facebook, saying that about 20 people had participated in removing the spray from the cemetery.
Meanwhile, according to Israel’s Ynet News on the 12th, a Jewish man was seriously injured in an assault by Hamas supporters in Sydney last week.
The 44-year-old man said that while walking through a playground, he tore down a sign advertising overdue pro-Palestinian protests. He then said a man approached him, asked him if he was an Israel supporter, and said, “I will kill you.” Then, pro-Palestinian people came and attacked the man, calling him a ‘Jewish dog’, and the man had to be hospitalized for four days.
In addition, the third attack occurred at Jewish schools in Montreal, Canada, in less than a week until the 12th. No one was injured or killed, but the front of the building was damaged by gunfire, posing a threat.
In addition, starting with the ‘Star of David’ being painted on buildings in Paris and its vicinity, on the 4th, an incident occurred in Lyon, a city in southeastern France, where a Jewish woman was stabbed at home by an assailant disguised as a delivery person. Additionally, anti-Jewish incidents are gradually increasing, such as in Los Angeles, where a Jewish man died after being hit in the head by a megaphone while arguing with a pro-Palestinian protester.
