PITTSBURGH, PA – A swastika was painted on a Duke University mural honoring the 11 victims of last month’s Tree of Life synagogue shooting in Squirrel Hill. The large red swastika was painted over a Star of David on the mural being displayed on the campus in Durham, NC.

“That such a craven and cowardly act of vandalism – a desecration of a memorial to individuals who were killed because they were Jewish and practicing their faith – should happen anywhere is extremely distressing,” Duke president Vincent Price wrote in a letter to the campus community. “That it should occur in such a visible, public location at Duke should be a matter of grave concern to us all.”

A reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the vandal who spraypainted anti-Semitic vandalism on an Irvine synagogue now stands at $10,000, city officials announced Wednesday.

The Irvine City Council on Tuesday night approved a $5,000 reward to match the one put up by the Anti-Defamation League earlier this month.

Last month, 11 Jewish-Americans were murdered in the most deadly attack on Jews in United States history. Still trying to understand why anti-Semitism remains prevalent, government freshman Julia Stern never thought she would be a victim of this hatred, until she was.

Dear Colleagues, I write you this morning with a deep sense of frustration and sorrow: last night, a tribute on the East Campus Bridge to the victims of the Tree of Life Synagogue massacre was defaced by a large, red swastika. That such a craven and cowardly act of vandalism – a desecration of a memorial to individuals who were killed because they were Jewish and practicing their faith – should happen anywhere is extremely distressing. That it should occur in such a visible, public location at Duke should be a matter of grave concern to us all.

The recent mass shooting in a Pittsburgh synagogue is a devastating reminder that anti-Semitism is flourishing around the world.

Until recent years, many Jews in America believed that the worst of anti-Semitism was over there, in Europe, a vestige of the old country.

American Jews were welcome in universities, country clubs and corporate boards that once excluded their grandparents. They married non-Jews, moved into mixed neighborhoods and by 2000, the first Jew ran for vice president on a major party ticket.

So the massacre on Saturday of 11 people in a Pittsburgh synagogue, by a man who told the police when he surrendered that he “wanted all Jews to die,” was for many a shocking wake-up call.

“This kind of evil makes me think of the Holocaust and how people can be so cruel, that there is so much evil in the world, still,” said Moshe Taube, 91, a retired cantor from Congregation Beth Shalom in Pittsburgh and a survivor of the Holocaust.

The total debt shouldered by Americans has hit another record high, rising to $13.5 trillion in the last quarter.

Defense Secretary James Mattis has nearly wiped ISIS off the face of the earth.

He is one of the best military minds in history.

And he just arrived at the border with a plan to stop the caravan.

The Caravan’s Threat To America

It is the job of the military to protect against all enemies,both foreign and domestic.

And it’s becoming clear that one of those enemies is the caravan coming from South America.

There are criminals and gang members in the caravan.

They are using women and children seeking asylum as a shield to gain sympathy.

And that’s why President Trump is calling it an invasion.

Like any other invasion, it is the job of the military to defend the country.

So the military is on the border ready to fight back.

They are placing barbed wire and setting up perimeters.

To lead this operation, Defense Secretary James Mattis has arrived at the border.

He is running a full-scale military operation to prevent the caravan from entering.

Mattis’ Plan To Stop The Caravan

Upwards of 12,000 people will arrive at the border as soon as this weekend.

They are both walking across the country and taking shuttle busses.

Already, small segments of the caravan are arriving.

WASHINGTON – The Trump administration on Friday voted for the first time against a United Nations resolution that condemned Israel’s occupation of the Golan Heights.

While the resolution passed easily through the UN General Assembly, with 151 “yes” votes and only 2 “no” votes, the American position represented a policy shift that could also have implications for the future. The U.S. has previously abstained from voting on the move.

The only other country other than the U.S. who voted against the resolution was Israel itself. Israel has been lobbying the Trump administration and Congress to recognize its sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which were captured from Syria in the 1967 Six Day War. So far the administration has stated it is not considering such a move, but the UN vote on Friday could hint at a change on that front.

A man shocked theatergoers and alarmed members of Baltimore’s Jewish community when he shouted a pro-Nazi and pro-Trump salute during a performance at the Hippodrome Theatre on Wednesday night.

The incident, during which the man shouted “Heil Hitler, Heil Trump,” was especially notable because it took place during intermission of a performance of “Fiddler on the Roof,” a musical about a Jewish community in tsarist Russia.

The Hippodrome is hosting the national touring production of the Broadway revival, directed by Bartlett Sherr, through Nov. 18.

“Fiddler on the Roof” tells the story of a milkman Tevye, his wife and five daughters. The musical is based on series of stories by Sholom Aleichem and was adapted for Broadway in 1964.

Throughout the show Tevye often breaks into songs and monologues, sharing his thoughts on love, tradition, wealth and faith. Russia becomes increasingly hostile toward Jews as the story progresses, prompting the family to leave for other countries by the end of the musical.

The show — notable at the time for focusing completely on a Jewish community — was a hit and nabbed nine Tony Awards, including best musical.

Audience members told The Sun the man who shouted the anti-Semitic salutes did so during intermission, immediately following a scene that depicted a wedding interrupted by a pogrom — an attack on Jewish people which can range from destruction of homes or property to outright massacre.

The word pogrom is Russian, meaning “to wreak havoc, to demolish violently,” according to the Holocaust Encyclopedia published on the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Anti-Semitism is currently at an all-time high in the United States.
