Hundreds help remove anti-Semitic graffiti |
|
DENVER, Colorado (AP) -- About 300 people of different faiths turned out to clean up a synagogue vandalized with swastikas and Nazi symbols on the eve of the Jewish holiday Purim.
So many people showed up Sunday at BMH-BJ Congregation, where vandalism had been discovered the day before, that people had to stand in line for a turn with a brush and a can of paint thinner.--snip-- more http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/Central/03/08/synagogue.graffiti.ap/index.html

1. Right on. Tolerance and compassion CAN beat hate, sometimes |
|
Of course, hate will always win out in the end, but we can slow it down a little.

...I'm an old-skool Presbyterian WASP---my family's been in this country since the 1620s---who recently married a Jewish woman, and frankly, I'm ready to start kicking major ass about the anti-Semitism that's rearing its ugly head. Again.

4. Cool! If they'd had some petunias and trowels, all those people in line |
|
could have planted those around while they waited for the paint thinner - building all clean, spring landscaping done, and lots of people with new friends :)

I thought these sort of things only happened in "Old Europe" because of the French gene of anti-semtism
were we lied to ?
