More than 30 cars and houses in a Jewish community in San Antonio, Texas were spray painted early Wednesday morning with swastikas, “KKK” and racial slurs.
Rabbi Aryeh Scheinberg told the San Antonio Express-News newspaper that they noticed the swastikas and racial slurs around 7 a.m. after morning services at the Rodfei Sholom Congregation had concluded.
Most of the vandalism was limited to cars and signs surrounding the synagogue in northern San Antonio, according to the newspaper. At least one car had a large rock thrown through the window.
The Rodfei Sholom Congregation is an Orthodox synagogue which provides services for about 300 families.
“(We are) outraged that in this day and age there are people who still live in their own minds and own worlds where it seems to be okay to hate people based on their religion,” Howard Feinberg, a board member at the synagogue, told the newspaper.

Texas is toxic to young minds.
America has captured the market on bigotry. More bigots per capita in the USA than in any other nation in the world, far surpassing Germany in the early 1940’s.
San Antonio once was a wonderful city. But, of course, it’s in Texas, where hate and guns and racism and ethnic struggles have been going on since the beginning of the USA and Mexico, if not a for two or three hundred years before.
Kudo’s to Christians and Jews that unite to fight bigotry in any form, and they should. Were there members of the Islamic faith in that video? I missed that.
Bottom line, this atrocity in symbolism was probably a couple of teenagers with a can of spray paint, but we may never know.
Yes, this was most likely a couple of dumb teenagers, but don’t let that stop you from over-generalizing about millions of people who didn’t do anything wrong. And in reality, San Antonio is still a wonderful city, despite your attempts to smear it based upon actions that a small minority of racists do across the country. If this happened in New York or Ohio, would you still feel smug in insulting the members of those states, or just Texas?
And for the record, I suspect that America had far more bigots per capita in the early 1940’s than it does now, while your claim that we have more bigots than Nazi Germany is entirely stupid. Why people insist upon inserting absurd hyperbole into serious issues is beyond me. You’re not helping.
Most likely the work of people who would identify as Tea Party patriots and supporters of the GOP.
You know the GOP those staunch supporters of the state of Israel.
Some one please tell…what beef do these assholes have with Jews? They are all employed, very few on welfare, and aside from Sammy Davis Jr. they are all white. So what the fuck? Can you hurt a Jew more than to paint a swastika on his home? What is the basis for such fanatical hate?
