More attacks against Jews in Britain
From today's Ha'aretz, we have not one, but two scary reports of crimes against Jewish people and their property:
First there is the case of the German rabbinical student, who was also gay, found in pieces wrapped in plastic, on a London sidewalk.
Read about it here: Body of missing rabbi trainee found in London
And then's there this:
Welsh synagogue heavily damaged by vandalism
What is particularly troubling about this story is that it indicates that anti-Semitic attacks have spread beyond the major civic centers like London and Manchester (where their University fires its faculty for just being "Israeli") to the hinterlands of Britain.
The vandals that hit the Swansea, Wales synagogue tried to burn it down, left "excrement" and destroyed a 300-year-old Torah scroll.
