Chicago Jewish day schools receive bomb threat

January 1, 2009

(JTA) -- A Jewish day school in Chicago received a bomb threat in the mail.

The letter, received Wednesday in the Chicago offices of the Associated Talmud Torahs and the Ida Crown Jewish Academy, threatened Jewish day schools in Chicago and in the suburbs, WBBM newsradio 780 reported.

The police bomb and arson squad is investigating.

Also Wednesday, the sidewalk in front of a Jewish preschool in Ventura County, Calif., was defaced with swastikas Wednesday for the third time in 2008, according to the Ventura County Star.

The sheriff's office is investigating the incident as a hate crime, according to the newspaper.

Meanwhile, the San Francisco Holocaust memorial was defaced with graffiti referring to Israel, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. It is the second time in the last few months that the memorial, which features 11 life-sized bronze figures of men, has been defaced. Earlier this year vandals drew swastikas on the figures.

Hamas posters posted at synagogues

January 2, 2009

LOS ANGELES (JTA) -- Police in California are investigating as hate crimes the posting of anti-Israel and pro-Hamas posters at two synagogues.

Three letter-sized, hand-written signs were discovered Tuesday at Beth Jacob, an Orthodox congregation in Irvine, Calif. One poster proclaimed, "Gaza-- The New Shoah" and a second read, "Hamas Recognizes Israeli Genocide."

Similar posters were found on the same day at the nearby Reform Congregation Shir Ha-Ma'alot.

Kevin O'Grady, Orange County regional director for the Anti-Defamation League, condemned the "targeting of temples to express anger toward Israeli action in Gaza."

I read about this quite ironic that Hussein Obama hasn't said anything about this either.
