Brooklyn, NY - Shaare Torah Girls Elementary School located at 222 Ocean Parkway and the corner of Church Avenue was vandalized earlier today with anti-Semitic graffiti. “Kill the Jews” and “Nazis live here” was prominently scrawled across the yeshiva building, along with a sizeable swastika. This matter has since been referred to the Hate Crimes Unit of the New York Police Department.

“Even with an increased police presence in our communities, these vandals persist in their vile ways,” said Assemblyman Dov Hikind said. “Every hateful act they get away with only serves to embolden them, and makes them that much more likely to continue committing these kinds of crimes. They must be caught and brought to justice.”

Hikind encourages anyone with information to please contact the 66th police precinct at (718) 851-5611.

Nothing should be ignored even when it’s a joke and I don’t see why this is funny to you

ignore away, ja*koff. The next "phase" of these antisemites is outright violence against human targets, Not walls, empty buildings, and words. Tell me my genious friend- how do we ignore bullets- we will all be walking around with bullet-proof vests soon.

The building was not empty, it happened in the middle of the school day. This is very serious!

I pass this school almost everyday on the Church Avenue bus. How horrendous that these innocent little girls have to see something terrible like that on their school. How can we explain it to them? Schools have to have more security.

Attention all Jewish schools and colleges and houses of worship!
Every single one of you has a deep and severe obligation to get a top notch security surveillance system. We must catch these animals. We all have very good guesses who they are. We don't need guesses. We need those animals in jail. Cameras can be hidden very nicely and we need night vision security systems. This problem is NOT going to run away in three months. Focus funding on this extremely important goal.

WRONG; It is happening already, not just will happen.
See all the incidents that happened Sunday after the rally.

The medresh Raba on parshas Noach says that "The dove found no rest for the sole of it's foot" The medresh continues: If it would have found a resting place, it would not have returned. The medresh then compares it to the verse in Bechukosi in the toichachah. "Amongst those goyim you will not find rest to the sole of your foot." If you would find rest, you would not return. I am not ch"v a tzioni, but 2000 years of history has shown the Jew has never been safe in country, including those that he lived in for over a thousand years like germany and poland or even almost two thousand years like syria or italy. Every day we should think of some way that we can improve our conduct bain odom limokom and bain odom lichaveiro. We have constantly been reminded that when push comes to shove, the Jew will be the scapegoat and there is no-one to depend on other than Hashem.

It all started, When the Christian country Lebanon had mercy on a few Muslims and let them in. The entire country was since then taken over by these radicals in the 60's and 70's. If you give them a penny they not only want the dime, they want all of your money and want you dead. It all started when the first Muslim got his Green card to enter the United States. They now even own our President. Give it a few more years and you will all be sorry when you see the new printing on the Currency "United Muslim States of America".

These people are cowards if they want meet me on the corner of church and ocean and fight like a man that's one thing but to go and write on a yeshiva that's another a girl school at that! . who ever did this are probably little kids that do not have anything better to do then write on a high school!!! what i would do is investigate all the public high schools in the 5 mile radius and make an assembly with a police officer and claim that they have a video of the Vandals and who ever did it is going to pay the consequences and i bet the person will come foward
