A swastika was left on a wall of the Horwitz-Wasserman Holocaust Memorial Plaza in Philadelphia

A Holocaust memorial in Philadelphia has been vandalised with a swastika as acts of antisemitism continue to rise across the country.

The Horwitz-Wasserman Holocaust Memorial Plaza said in a post that earlier this weekend, an unidentified figure vandalised a wall of the plaza, drawing a large swastika.

The memorial’s post described it as “a disgusting act of antisemitism that comes amid a staggering spike in anti-Jewish hatred across Philadelphia and the country more broadly”.

While the swastika graffiti has been removed from the wall, according to NBC, the organisation is asking anyone who may have any information about the vandalism to contact the Philadelphia Police Department.

    3 types of Jewish people: Rabbi’s, Brooklyn mom’s, and John Stewart.

    “Mostly just ribbing me” with stereotypes is exactly what I’m fucking talking about.

    Imagine if you said- “I’m also mostly just ribbing you. 3 types of black people: Pastors, big mamas and Charlamagne Tha God?” to a black person. Do you think that’s an acceptable thing to say to a black person? I sure as fuck don’t. So why are you saying something similar to a Jew?

      You give me a mild insult, one that I’m used to, and even the “in group” I’m a part of on the Internet also will make similar jokes about themselves. Then I just repeated what you said to me but applied to you.

      You’re mad at a mirror. And if you wanted me to believe you then you wouldn’t have done it a second time.

          I said I was queer and you then list “cishet, gay, lesbian” and some tropes associated with them. Then do one of the funniest unintentional trope for what I am, which would be bi erasure.

          You going ‘the three sexualities are het,gay, lesbian’ made me think of the one meme of “ah yes the [number] genders”.

          For whatever reason I cannot upload files otherwise I would attach the memes for you. Image search “ah yes the 3 genders” should turn it up for you though.

          Me saying that stuff, wasn’t me trying to be insulting. It was showing that I know what you’re talking about. But it wasn’t an attack. Definitely close to seeing a coworker slightly tired and saying something like “you look like you’re ready to run a marathon.”

            When did I say you were cishet, gay or lesbian? When did I say those were the three sexualities? When did I say there were any number of genders?

            You are just lying and I don’t know why.

              Don’t you think cishet people

              Saying you know I’m not cishet

              gay men go mincing around

              Swing one

              lesbians are super butch

              Swing two

              When did I say there were any number of genders

              Look at the first line in my response. CIS so you did bring up genders. Then later you got 3 things wrong, which reminded me of a meme where they get 3 things wrong. “You going ‘the three sexualities are het,gay, lesbian’ made me think of the one meme”

              You are just lying and I don’t know why.

              You’re so ready to win a competition that only you are a part of. I’m trying to have a talk and you want to fight.

                Saying you know I’m not cishet

                Lie. I wasn’t talking about you.

                Swing one

                What?

                Swing two

                What?

                Then later you got 3 things wrong,

                You mean the things I said were untrue stereotypes? Or are you actually making the ridiculous claim that all gay men mince and all lesbians are butch? Because that is fucking insulting.

                You’re so ready to win a competition that only you are a part of. I’m trying to have a talk and you want to fight.

                Then don’t lie and accuse me of insulting you.

                  How old are you? I’m in my 30’s and a mechanic. If you don’t even attempt to understand someone different then why are you talking so much on the Internet? I was referencing baseball because you said you were American.

                  I haven’t lied, I said I’m queer and your next response switched over to saying effectively “when cishet people groups you like this doesn’t it make you mad?”

                  And I will accuse you of insulting me. You obviously did, and you’re doing it more and more. From my perspective for no good reason.

                    My next response was another example I thought most people would understand. And considering the fact that my daughter is a Jewish lesbian, I thought it was a very good example from my own life.

                    It had nothing to do with you. Turn your ego down about a million notches. I don’t know anything about you, nor do I care.
