The youngsters kicked off the anti-Semitic spree at 1 p.m. Thursday when, armed with a magic marker and a smoke bomb, they scrawled a swastika on a wall at the United Hebrew Center on East Broadway, police said. They set off the smoke device, too, before bolting.
An hour later at the Bialystoker Synagogue, the teens drew another swastika and wrote the slur "k---" on a wall. They later hurled eggs at the house of worship, cops said, as was reported here on VIN News).
The kids - a 15-year-old Asian male and a 16-year-old black male - were charged with aggravated harassment, criminal mischief and reckless endangerment, all as hate crimes.
"This is a desecration of God, no matter what your religion," said Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, who has attended the Willet St. synagogue since he was 4 years old.

The terms "youngsters" and "kids" portray them as lovely but misguided teenagers. Young, anti-Semitic thugs, is a more accurate description!!!

The question remains - where did these youngsters learn to hate Jews? Thier parents, perhaps? Raboisai! How many of our neighbors are silent anti-semites! It's a scary thought! On a different note - may we merit that they be punished to set an example and serve as a warning that racial and religious hate is not welcome on the LES!
