Dimona, Israel – Municipality workers today were shocked to discover dozens of swastikas sprayed on a monument for late Member of Knesset Yuri Stern and Dimona residents who fought in the Red Army against the Nazis during World War II.

Some of the Nazi symbols were also sprayed on the municipality building. Police opened an investigation and said they expects to make arrests soon.
Municipal inspectors and patrol teams spotted the graffiti during the morning hours, and quickly cleaned up both locations.
The municipality was enraged by the incident, and Dimona Mayor Meir Cohen said it was “an atrocious act,” adding that he hoped “those responsible would be arrested as soon as possible and brought to justice.”
Residents of the southern city were also deeply upset by the act of vandalism. “I was simply mortified,” Dudu Gozlan told Ynet.
“Here of all places, in a monument commemorating heroes of the Jewish people, we see such an ugly phenomenon. These acts are spreading around, and all that is left for me to do is pray for it to stop,” he added.
A similar event was reported in the south earlier this month, when an Ethiopian woman’s grave was vandalized at the Beersheba cemetery.
The perpetrators sprayed the slogan “death to niggers” and swastikas on her gravestone. The woman’s relatives filed a complaint with the police, in which they said they spotted graffiti written in Russian around the area.
That’s what happenes when you allow goyim to immigrate to Israel. Hashem yeracheim
Dimona! Anything to do with the nuclear plant?
#1 is right #2 is just picking a fight. The fact is every time they make an arrest for shul burnings or swastikas it’s non religus or non jewish Russians. Non jewish people that hate us can stay in a wooden shak on a farm in Russa.
