One of the graves that was vandalized belonged to Gavriel Dawit, a drowning victim whose body was recently returned to Israel in a deal with Lebanese terrorists. Another belonged to a mother of seven children who immigrated to Israel.
The vandals had sprayed neo-Nazi slogans on the graves, including “Death to Jews” and “Patrol 36.” “Patrol 36” was the name used by a group of young neo-Nazis who were recently caught in Petach Tikva after terrorizing local Jews and foreign workers for several months.
Be’er Sheva police said they would set up a special investigative team to find the culprits. Dawit’s sister, Tova Kasai, said, “Even when I grew up abroad surrounded by Xians I did not see such a cruel act. It’s a shame that this happened in Israel of all places.” [IsraelNN]
It’s great that Neo-Nazism is alive as well. As long as Jews are prohibited from praying on the temple mount, Kever Yosef is off limits, and plans are underway for more evictions.
