Florida Park Hit With Anti-Semitic Graffiti

(JTA) — Anti-Semitic and satanic graffiti was spray-painted throughout a park in central Florida.

The graffiti at the part in Wedgefield, Florida, was discovered by parents on Wednesday morning.

Orange County officials said that park employees on Wednesday worked to clean and cover up the graffiti, under a local policy to remove defacement of public property within 24 hours, local ABC affiliate WFTV 9 reported.

Among the epithets in the graffiti was “Gas the Jews.”
