The graffiti “Kill a Jew” also appeared on containers across the city of Mostar.
A symbol for the Croatian Nazi Ustasha, the U, along with the Star of David was also drawn next to the slogan at the Theater fence.
The Croatian media is attributing the appearance of the graffiti to extremist Bosnian Muslims who are upset over Israel’s intervention against Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
“Almost every time when something is happening in the Gaza strip, we in Mostar are having such problems,” said a representative of the Jewish community in Mostar.
He also said that, across Mostar, posters have appeared with a map of Israel and a word Palestine written over the territory.
“These kinds of incidents, by rule, happen on the left coast of Mostar,” said the representative of the Jewish community of Mostar, who wanted to remain unidentified.
The left side, or the western side, is where Bosnian Croatians live. Croats were allies of Hitler in the second world war and ran several concentration camps in the Balkans were they were murdering Serbs, Jews and Gypsies.
Authorities in Mostar rarely took initiative to remove the anti Jewish public outbursts and Jews had to appeal to the authorities often or take their own initiative to remove the message of hate.
These graffiti in Mostar are but the latest in many anti Jewish demonstrations held across the region.
The genius who drew the swastika doesn’t know that the arms are supposed to face clockwise. Such brilliance is only found by Moslems.
