Memorial for Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting Victims Vandalized at Pomona College
“I find it frustrating that all Jewish issues have become so politicized on our campus”
What is wrong with people? Who could justify such a hateful act?
The Jewish News Syndicate reports:
Memorial for Pittsburgh synagogue victims vandalized at Pomona College
A mural at Pomona College that reads “Antisemitism exists. Acknowledge it” in remembrance of the deadliest attack in American Jewish history has been defaced at least twice.
Just days after the shooting, which killed 11 people at the Tree of Life*Or L’Simcha Synagogue in Pittsburgh, the word “Antisemitism” was erased.
Sometime later, the memorial was vandalized with the words “Palestine exists. Acknowledge it,” and a Palestinian flag was painted.
Pomona alum Katherine Dolgenos shared images of the mural defaced and expressed her disdain in a Facebook post, which she gave JNS permission to quote: “This mural has nothing to do with Israel. Its message should not be controversial in any way. I loved my time at Pomona, and I love the Claremont Colleges, but their inability or unwillingness to address anti-Semitism is ridiculous.”
“I find it frustrating that all Jewish issues have become so politicized on our campus,” Pomona junior and Alpha Epsilon Pi member Sam Lushtak told JNS. “Students feel like they can’t be active as Jews, even with something as simple as having Shabbat, without being forced into getting involved in politics, especially with this controversial issue that often gets very personal if you don’t hold a certain narrow set of beliefs.”

They tell us there is no such thing as antisemitism, and to prove it they vandalize a memorial to Jews HY”D who were murdered solely for being Jews.
They tell us Jews use false accusations of antisemitism to silence critics of Israel, and to prove it they vandalize a memorial to Jews HY”D who were murdered solely for being Jews by painting it over with their criticism of Israel.
“Who could justify such a hateful act?”
Any Muslim could. Jews are, according to the Quran, the worst of created peoples, the descendants of pigs, and the greatest in enmity to the believers (Muslims).
Antifa is alive and well at Pomona.
