Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
Two Maryland teens were arrested and charged with painting anti-Semitic messages on a synagogue, a home and buses.
The targets of the anti-Semitism were located in Potomac and Rockville, Maryland suburbs near Washington, D.C.
Police believe the teens, both 16, are responsible for other incidents in April, Bethesda Now reported.
The teens were arrested May 6 for incidents that occurred between April 18 and 21. The anti-Semitic messages included swastikas and the phrase “All Jews Burn.”
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
