TODAY'S ANTI-SEMITISM

From today's Jewish Telegraphic Agency:

A swastika was painted on a building housing Jewish students next to the UCLA campus.
The graffiti was painted Tuesday on the front of the Bayit, a cooperative housing site. University police are investigating the incident as a possible hate crime. The Bayit displays a Star of David in a front window.

Sixty-five gravestones were desecrated in a Jewish cemetery in eastern France.
The vandalism took place in the city of Sarreguemines between Sunday and Tuesday afternoon, local police believe. The headstones were overturned and one grave was partially opened. A swastika was engraved on a mailbox at the entrance to the Catholic cemetery, 600 yards away from the Jewish cemetery. France’s two central Jewish groups, CRIF and the Consistoire, condemned the actions. A police investigation has been opened. France’s interior minister, Dominique de Villepin, telephoned Roger Cukierman, president of CRIF, and pledged to find those responsible.

A British politician said she was the target of anti-Semitic taunts.
The Labor Party’s Oona King, who represented her heavily Muslim London district in Parliament until she lost her seat in last week’s general election, said she was called a “yid” and a “Jewish bitch” during the election. King is the daughter of a Jewish woman and a black man who left the United States during the Vietnam War. “The fact that my mother was Jewish came up all of the time, in a quite disturbing way,” she told the Times of London. King lost her seat to George Galloway, a controversial figure who was ejected from Labor and started his own party, Respect. Galloway denied any knowledge of the alleged slurs.
