A swastika was left on a wall of the Horwitz-Wasserman Holocaust Memorial Plaza in Philadelphia

A Holocaust memorial in Philadelphia has been vandalised with a swastika as acts of antisemitism continue to rise across the country.

The Horwitz-Wasserman Holocaust Memorial Plaza said in a post that earlier this weekend, an unidentified figure vandalised a wall of the plaza, drawing a large swastika.

The memorial’s post described it as “a disgusting act of antisemitism that comes amid a staggering spike in anti-Jewish hatred across Philadelphia and the country more broadly”.

While the swastika graffiti has been removed from the wall, according to NBC, the organisation is asking anyone who may have any information about the vandalism to contact the Philadelphia Police Department.

    me - “I’m queer”
    You - “Gay people be like”

    So when someone brings something up about themselves, and then you go and talk about that thing it’s up to the other person…to be psychic? If you just want to monologue then I recommend starting a YouTube channel. This spat has nothing to do with my ego.

      This is lunatic behavior. You’re inventing attacks upon yourself just to victimize yourself. No one said shit about you but you took it personally and got angry over literally nothing. It is astounding how much you’re trying to double down on something no one said. You are tilting at windmills, Don Quixote. Have fun with that.

        They called me a liar and said my ego is over inflated. How is that not an attack on my person?

        This went downhill because I explained to them that what they did something to me is less than a paper cut, but I brought it up because they lumped me in a group I’m not a part of, the thing they were complaining about. I was calling them a hypocrite, not that my feelings were hurt.

          After you attacked them. That was self defense.

      I don’t care if you’re queer. I really don’t. Maybe you want me to, but it has not mattered to me one bit this entire time.

        I never tried to make you care. I was using that experience of becoming a monolith as a way to relate to you.

          Well I must say, using antisemitic stereotypes and repeatedly insisting I insulted you when I told you I did nothing of the sort is a really great way to relate to me. Great job there.

            You really need to look in a mirror more.

            You started this by lumping me into a group I’m not a part of, the thing you were complaining about. And I then just repeated it back at you, but with your character. If you don’t like it then don’t do it.

              Yet again, I didn’t lump you into anything. This isn’t about you. Stop making it about you. You are irrelevant.

                me - “I’m x”
                you - talks about thing involving x

                I’m willing to say you just lucked wrong. But it is fairly reasonable to say that the average person would assume you’re talking about them. People aren’t psychic.

                Then on the scale of how you took my response apparently a smiley face means this is the ‘worst iteration of anger’? And apparently ribbing means ‘stabbing you as hard as I can’, and not ‘you did the thing and I’ll play back’

                You aren’t perfect. Pretending like you are is silly.

                  And pretending like you didn’t say something antisemitic is also silly. Especially when you took great umbrage to an insult I never made.

                    I didn’t take great umbrage. That was 3 lines out of 30. And also once again sandwiched between me agreeing with you mostly.

                    Also once again, if you’re saying I said something antisemitic, then you said something homophobic first.

                    Once again, you’re arguing against a mirror.

                    Weird, I thought reminding people worked :/
