Hamas posters posted at U.S. synagogues

January 2, 2009

LOS ANGELES (JTA) — Police in California are investigating as hate crimes the posting of anti-Israel and pro-Hamas placards 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.”

Fousesquawk comment: Why is this not being reported by the mainstream media-as usual? Where are the voices of CAIR? Where are the voices of the Islamic Society of Orange County?

This is unacceptable. Not in our country. Not in America.
