probably done by good ol' russian scum. People caught doing this shit should be immediately stripped of their citizenship and should be deported to whatever shithole (escuse my language) they came from. (and the only reason I'm not calling for execution is because I'm in a good mood today  )

[BK]

Uh, how does this keep on happening at the same shul? After the first and second and third time why didn't they start up a patrol or something?

[British_chabadnik]

why do u assume its the russians?

[BK]

There are lots of Russians in that Tel Aviv, Rishon LeTzion, Petach Tikva area... But there are also plenty of Arabs too...

[British_chabadnik]

maybe they shouldnt be given citzenship in the first place

catch the asshole, beat them and deport them. 
This is what happens when we don't follow the torah and expel the goyim (not jsut arabs) If Israel isn't run by the troah not only does it become lie the galut in culture, but it even becomes as unsafe as the galut
what a pathetic excuse for the one nation where the Jews could feel safe and be free from persecution.

p.s. this on the same day that i got a white supremecist anti-semitic newspaper on my doorstep
i expect it here in galut, i guess i cant expect much more in "the Jewish state" either

Maybe it was self-hating Israeli-born teenagers. You know, the arsim type that try to be "cool" and always have to think about what to pierce next or what tattoo to get next.

Where do you live in Galut that they would put that on your doorstep? Was it mailed or just left?

[ahavatyisrael1]

i like in a suburban city in New England (im not gonna get more specific), which has an insane amount of Jews.  My local public school is 40% Jewish.  This isnt exactly what we expect here.  Over pesach a swatztika was painted on a holocaust memorial outside of my chabad, twice.  Again in this suburb with tons of Jews.
It jsut goes to show that Jews aren't safe anywhere in the exile.  its not just England and France that are anti-semitic.  Esav Soneh at Yaakov, we arent safe in Galus.
And apparently were not all that safe is Israel either.

If the public school is 40% Jewish, then Jews must be a majority including private schools. I think the public high school I went to was 60% Jewish but that figure might have included Non-Jewish "half-Jews". I was the most observant out of them all. Most of them were the typical Reform type that don't keep kosher. There was one kid whose mother had a Conservative "conversion" to marry his dad who said the reason I didn't shave during The Omer is because "there's a Jewish holiday he made up". His mom was definintely unsincere because he got a tattoo and I asked him what his parents thought so he said his mom likes it and she has one too. He said they also celebrate X-mas with his mother's goyishe family.

Do you go to that public school? How old are you?

You asked,

why do u assume its the russians?

  And another asked  why it could not be just plain self-hating Jews.

My reply is just that the average Israeli Jewish "self-hater," as well as the average Israeli Arab, is not likely to use Xtian symbols.  The swastikas that were given publicity were accompied by plain old crosses too.

BTW, the rally at the Great Synagogue Thursday evening was attended by thousands of Jews, but I did not notice a single non-religious Jew there, other than the mayor of Petah Tiqwa.

One interesting point was made by Harav Amar, the Rishon Lezion and Chief Sefardi Rabbi of Isreal, as well as a former rav in Petah Tiqwa--we must examine ourselves, including the state of Shabbat and Yomtov.  His good friend, the mayor of Petah Tiqwa, bears a great deal of responsibility for the commerce that goes on in PT on Shabbat.  I wonder if the hint was intentional and if it was understood by Ohayon.

Wonder why Amar didn't mention the fact the ones heading the Rabbinate didn't do lift a finger to stop the flow of slavic xtians who drew the swastikas and to fix the law of "return"...

That reminds me of Rav Tzvi Pesach Frank who headed the Jerusalem rabbinate on early days of the state and resigned from his post after a single remark of kfira made by Ben Gurion. Today's rabbinate heads won't resign even when sinagugues are destroyed by the goverment, not to mention their bosses are virulent antisemites and mumarum l'hachis (Omri Sharon was de facto the one who gave orders to the rabbinate after his father (ys"h) aborted the ministry of religions. Omri wouldn't even wear kippa on funerals)

[Kreplach]

Thank Ben Gurion for including in the law of return(schizophrenic document, according to the Rav) that all you need is 1 Jewish grandparent in order to become a citizen. What an assinine rule and it's hurting us badly. Most of these people drink till they drop, collect checks and don't give a hoot about Israel. And I'll go further, they have contempt for the state, because when you give and give to someone who takes it for granted they come to despise you. Especially when you modify or cancel their aid. It's commonly called "familiarity breeds contempt"
