Swastikas found in Brooklyn

Swastikas were found in two areas of Brooklyn on the first two days of 2008.On Wednesday, a large swastika was found painted on the door of a Brooklyn senior center, which also doubles as a synagogue. An anti-Semitic phrase was also painted there.

A day before, two swastikas were found painted on a home in Borough Park, the Brooklyn community with the highest concentration of Holocaust survivors in New York.

"It's amazing that 60 years after the Holocaust, we are still dealing with people who paint swastikas," state Assemblyman Dov Hikind, the son of a Holocaust survivor who represents Borough Park, told the New York Post.

Blogmaster's retort : When NY State Assmblyman Dov Hikind remarked in amazement that swastikas are still being painted on Jewish homes and Synagogues in New York, he has obviously forgotten his days standing next to Rabbi Meir Kahane (OBM) (MURDERED IN NY BECAUSE HE WAS A JEW) and his personal days in the Jewish Defense League. I guess the memory fades as you climb higher on the political and social ladder!
