Nazi Graffiti Across Israel

December 10, 2007

Subsequently, Nazi-related graffiti appeared in synagogues in the southern towns of Dimona and Eilat. Swastikas and messages praising Hitler were found on the walls of the synagogues in both attacks. Residents of several apartment buildings in the northern town of Holon found similar Nazi graffiti sprayed on the walls of their buildings. Swastikas were also spray-painted on a building in a central town square in Holon. In Migdal HaEmek, a boy, 17, was caught spray-painting swastikas on a car.

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said, “Israel, as a society, failed in educating the youths discovered to be neo-Nazis.” Police believe that there could possibly be several dozens of neo-Nazis in Israel.
