Vandals spray painted anti-Israeli slogans and an as yet unidentified phrase written in Arabic, on the doors and walls of a Chicago area synagogue early Saturday morning in what local newscasters are saying is a possible hate crime. I suppose it’s possible the synagogue was vandalized with the deepest respect for the Jewish faith, and concern for their spiritual well being, making it a Love crime.

I call it Jihad.

The police have yet to even verify that the Arabic writing is indeed Arabic writing, but the link above shows video of the writing that should be all the verification viewers need. Hate crimes against Jews has been on the rise in America and abroad for several years now, fueled largely by the mainstreaming of “anti-Zionism” by leftist groups and the alliance of Marxist organization with radical Islam.

Communists, National Socialists and Islamists are joining together to overthrow the freedom loving peoples of the world, and as their ideologies intermingle Jews are the first to bear the brunt of their fury. Will Americans stand with their Jewish fellow citizens against this rising tide of hatred, or like the Chicago police turn a blind eye to it?

UPDATE: San Francisco Synagogue defaced with swastika. Love those liberal values! h/t LGF

UPDATE: Atlas Shrugs has more on the wave Synagogue vandalism, including one in Yonkers, N.Y. and another in Long Island. New York is being hit by a wave of anti-Semitism? If this doesn’t wake Americans up nothing will
