Hoax Confirmed: Swastikas and a Burnt Torah Scroll in the Levlov Synagogue in Jerusalem (2017)
Yet another so-called ‘anti-Semitic hate crime’ has occurred, this time in Jerusalem of all places.
To wit:
‘On Wednesday morning, the Levlov Synagogue in the central Jerusalem neighborhood of Nachlaot was vandalized: its holy books were charred and four swastikas were spray-painted on its walls in an apparent hate crime.
An area search by local law enforcement revealed more swastikas painted on the entranceways of two apartment complexes.
Lau, along with fellow Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef and Religious Services Minister David Azoulai, said that such desecration cannot be tolerated, and encouraged police to do all they can to find the guilty party.
"I’m calling on the law enforcement authorities to use all the means at their disposal and bring the desecrators of the synagogue to justice," Lau said, Jerusalem Online reported.
"I was horrified to hear about the disturbing act of vandalism committed in the Lelov study hall in Jerusalem. This is a serious attack against all of us. It is hard to believe that a terrible hate crime like this against religious Jews could take place in the heart of the State of Israel," said Israeli Interior Minister Aryeh Deri, according to Israel National News.
A 38-year-old Jerusalem resident was arrested on suspicion of being involved in the vandalism on Wednesday.’ (1)
Who was this ‘38-year-old Jerusalem resident’; you could be forgiven for thinking that it was an Arab Islamist militant or an evil Nazi who did such a thing, but you would be wrong.
As World Israel News has reported the reality is that the ‘38-year-old Jerusalem resident’ is ‘a 38-year-old Jew said to be mentally unstable and who reportedly committed similar acts in the past.’ (2)
So basically, a crazed jew with an vendetta against Judaism in general and the Levlov synagogue in particular performed this so-called ‘anti-Semitic hate crime’ not an Arab Islamist or an evil Nazi.
You’d never know it from the reporting in the mainstream media though!
