Are United Monroe Activists Suspected In Jewish Cemetery Desecration?
Does The Hate Speech By United Monroe Activists Make Them Suspects In The Desecration Of Temple Beth Shalom?
It has finally happened. The cryptic Nazi rhetoric of Emily Convers and her United Monroe activists has led to violence. Someone has desecrated Temple Beth Shalom in Warwick over the weekend on the eve of Yom Kippur.
Vandals spray painted swastikas on the walls that the gates of the cemetery. They also scrawled the words “Heil Hitler” and the letters “SS,” for the Nazi Schutzstaffel.
Members of the 70-year-old synagogue are heartbroken because of the damage. Rabbi Rebecca Shinder, who has led the congregation for 11 years, said "This is not just about the swastikas and Nazi Germany. It represents hatred and persecution of the Jewish people throughout the centuries. It’s a symbol of hatred and intimidation.”
Journalists from as far away as Jerusalem are writing about the incident. They have also asked Shinder if the vandalism was the work of kids. She said, “I don’t know if it is or it isn’t. Which is worse? I don’t know. But neo-Nazism is, unfortunately, alive and well in Europe and here.”
