Anti-Semitism in New York

(Brooklyn, New York) Last Friday, an alleged anti-Semitic vandalism spree was perpetrated on the Jewish neighborhood of Midwood.

The vandalism, which left three parked vehicles burned and anti-Semitic graffiti spray-painted on sidewalk and bus benches, occurred Friday, a day after the infamous "Kristallnacht" raids on Jewish businesses carried out by the Nazis in pre-war Germany.

The New York Post said police had stepped up patrols in Midwood and community leaders got together to hire private security guards to help keep an eye on things.

According to Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes, DNA and fingerprint evidence is being tested.
