"Toronto we have a problem" - Toronto Yeshiva Defaced with Anti-Semitic Graffiti.


"Toronto we have a problem" - Toronto Yeshiva Defaced with Anti-Semitic Graffiti.(INN).Students at the “Mishkan HaTorah” Yeshiva in Toronto, Canada, were shocked when they arrived in the early hours of the morning to find that the building was covered with anti-Semitic graffiti.
This is the second time in a short period of the time that the building has been defaced.
During the last incident, police who arrived the scene reportedly did not adequately apprehend the perpetrators who were trying to instill fear among the students.
Yeshiva officials filed a request with local police forces to increase security around the premises in order to strengthen students' sense of security and prevent further attacks.
In November 2011, the Beth Tikvah Synagogue in Toronto was sprayed with the words “Islam will rule” and a swastika was painted on the building’s exterior.
The Canadian Council for Israel and Jewish Advocacy said at the time that measures had been implements to increase the security at the synagogue.
“We will remain vigilant in the wake of this disturbing and offensive event,” Shimon Fogel, CEO of the Canadian Jewish organization, said at the time. Read the full story here.

New York Post commenters - "If The Holocaust Was So Bad, Why Are There Survivors?"





New York Post commenters - "If The Holocaust Was So Bad, Why Are There Survivors?"HT: JawaReport....Because the only good holocaust is complete genocide. These are the same people who become outraged if one dares to link Islamic terrorism with Islam. You'd think antisemitic vandalism - swastikas (albeit, backwards) - would solicit outrage and calls to find the culprits. Unfortunately, among New York Post commenters, a hate crime is of little concern.Hmmmmm....... Guess who they're voting for? Read the full story here.

Iraqi-American woman beaten to death in California in possible 'hatecrime'.


Iraqi-American woman beaten to death in California in possible 'hatecrime'.(TGM).A woman from Iraq who was found beaten next to a threatening note saying “go back to your country” has died, and police are investigating the possibility of a hate crime.
Hanif Mohebi, the director of the San Diego chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said Shaima Alawadi was taken off life support Saturday afternoon.
“The family is in shock at the moment. They're still trying to deal with what happened,” said Mr. Mohebi, who met with family members.
Ms. Alawadi, a 32-year-old mother of five, had been hospitalized since her 17-year-old daughter found her unconscious in the dining room of the family's suburban San Diego house on Wednesday, Police Lieutenant Steve Shakowski said.
“A hate crime is one of the possibilities, and we will be looking at that,” Lt. Mark Coit said. “We don't want to focus on only one issue and miss something else.”
The daughter, Fatima Al Himidi, told KUSI-TV her mother had been beaten on the head repeatedly with a tire iron, and that the note said “go back to your country, you terrorist.”
Addressing the camera, the tearful daughter asked: “You took my mother away from me. You took my best friend away from me. Why? Why did you do it?”
Police said the family had found a similar note earlier this month but did not report it to authorities.
A family friend, Sura Alzaidy, told UT San Diego that the attack apparently occurred after the father took the younger children to school. Ms. Alzaidy told the newspaper the family is from Iraq, and that Ms. Alawadi was a “respectful modest muhajiba,” meaning she wears the traditional hijab, a head scarf.
The family had lived in the house for only a few weeks, after moving from Michigan, Ms. Alzaidy said. Ms. Alzaidy told the newspaper her father and Ms. Alawadi's husband had previously worked together in San Diego as private contractors for the U.S. Army, serving as cultural advisers to train soldiers who were going to be deployed to the Middle East.
Mr. Mohebi said the family had been in the United States since the mid-1990s. He said it was unfortunate that the family didn't report the initial threatening note.El Cajon, northeast of downtown San Diego, is home to some 40,000 Iraqi immigrants, the second largest such community in the U.S. after Detroit.Hmmmmm.......No word about possible break in......Let's hope it's not a 'covered up honorkilling'.Read the full story here.
