Rats infest New York synagogue

[yankeedoodle]

Here's a good one; jews in New York have their kippahs in a twist because, after "Pittsburgh," they found "Die jew Rats We Are Here" inside their synagogue.  First of all, who gets inside the synagogue except jews and rats?  Anybody/anything on the security cameras except jews and rats?

Secondly, what self-respecting "anti-semite" is going to use a word like "rats?"  Kikes or blood-suckers, maybe, but not "rats."    Sounds like somebody attending the synagogue has been watching old Jimmy "you dirty rat" Cagney movies, or hanging out with the mafia, who may have called him a rat once or twice.

The words "Die Jew Rats We Are Here," "Jews Better Be Ready,""Rose" and "Hitler," were discovered on the second and fourth floors of the temple, NBC New York reports.

'Jews Better Be Ready': Political event canceled over anti-Semitic graffiti in Brooklyn synagogue

A political debate at a synagogue in Brooklyn was canceled amid security concerns after anti-Semitic slurs were discovered scrawled on the walls of the building's stairwell including, "Jews Better Be Ready."

"Broad City" star Ilana Glazer was scheduled to interview journalist Amy Goodman and New York state senate candidates Andrew Gounardes and Jim Gaughran to discuss how politicians actually serve the local community. However, before the event opened its door, anti-Semitic messages were discovered on the stairwell of Union Temple in Brooklyn Heights at approximately 8pm Thursday.

The words "Die Jew Rats We Are Here," "Jews Better Be Ready,""Rose" and "Hitler," were discovered on the second and fourth floors of the temple, NBC New York reports.

"She didn't feel comfortable ushering 200 people into the enclosed space; potential sitting ducks,"attendee Kathryn Gonzalez posted on Facebook.

Organizers were forced to cancel the event amid fears of a copycat attack following the Pittsburgh massacre last Saturday at the Tree of life synagogue in which 11 people were shot dead and the perpetrator shouted: "All Jews must die!" It marked the deadliest anti-Semitic mass shooting in US history.

This latest incident is one of many alleged cases of anti-Semitic vandalism in the aftermath of the Pittsburgh mass shooting: vandals scrawled a swastika and racial epithet in Brooklyn Heights and a synagogue in California was defaced with the words "f**k Jews" on Wednesday.

Last month a man was charged with assault as a hate crime after beating an orthodox Jew in broad daylight in the middle of Borough Park street.

The Union Temple case is being investigated by the NYPD's Hate Crimes Unit, but no suspects have been named or arrested thus far.

You know it's a hoax when it already has CONTROVERSY.   

Twitter: Oops, we didn't really mean for you to 'Kill all Jews'

Twitter has apologized for offending New Yorkers with the trending hashtag #KillAllJews after racial and anti-Semitic epithets were found scrawled on a Brooklyn synagogue wall before a scheduled political event.

The phrase was initially believed to be among those found written in black marker on the wall of Union Temple Thursday night, but the NYPD confirmed that the graffiti actually read, "die Jew rat," "end is now," and "Hitler," among other Anti-Semitism 101 slogans. A custodian claimed to have seen "Kill all Jews" written on a door, and the inaccurate phrase was picked up and amplified by Twitter users.

"This phrase should not have appeared in trends, and we're sorry for this mistake," a Twitter spokesperson told media outlets. "This was trending as a result of coverage and horrified reactions to the vandalism against a synagogue in New York. Regardless, it should not have appeared as a trend." The statement was conspicuously absent from the company's Twitter feed.

Comedian Ilana Glazer, of HBO series Broad City, had been scheduled to hold the fourth and final segment of her Generator series at the temple, which is located in Brooklyn's Prospect Heights neighborhood. The graffiti was found shortly before the event was due to start at 8pm.

Glazer was supposed to interview Amy Goodman of Democracy Now, along with Democratic state senate candidates Andrew Gounardes and Jim Gaughran. Instead, she sent the assembled crowd home, appearing visibly upset as she spoke to the audience.

The trending hashtag appeared on Twitter less than a week after an anti-Semitic gunman opened fire inside Pittsburgh's Tree of Life synagogue, killing 11 people. Reports from police at the scene suggest he yelled something similar before running into the building.

Twitter's terms of service don't permit profanity or "hate speech" targeting users on the basis of racial, ethnic or religious identity on its platform, and hundreds if not thousands of users have been kicked off for much less. Last month, hundreds of accounts were suspended for posting the "NPC" meme after complaints that it was "dehumanizing."

Following the shooting last weekend, media rushed to blame social media platform Gab, where the suspect had shared his hatred for Jews and President Trump. He also had accounts on Twitter and Instagram, though those platforms escaped media scrutiny. Gab has since lost its domain name and web host and founder Andrew Torba claims his family has been threatened.
