    One of the businesses targeted on Friday was an auto shop called Shalom Tire and Auto Repair.

    Jexit is believed to stand for Jews Exit, a play on Brexit, which stands for Britain’s exiting the European Union.

    In December, the slogan was painted on a wall of the American Federation of Teachers headquarters located in the District of Columbia, according to the Washington Post, and the group, which has a Jewish president, called it anti-Semitic.

    Washington, D.C. police said they have been discussing the graffiti with groups knowledgeable about hate crimes, including the Anti-Defamation League, the Post reported. The police also have discussed it with leaders of the local Jewish community but note that there is no consensus on whether or not it is anti-Semitic.

    The term has been used on anti-Semitic websites as a slur, the Jewish Journal reported.

    We need to ban free hate speech. If you call tnat democracy then it has no virtue.
    The only time it should be allowed is if a group or sect physically killed us in a severe attack like Muslims and 9/11. Any other violent hate speech including against blacks need to be banned

    Haters hate. They don’t care who, like vicious dogs that don’t care where their master got the raw meat he tossed to them, so long as they can rip it to shreds and taste some blood.
