"Anti-Zionist" groups silent on anti-Zionist vandalism at Maryland synagogue

On Tuesday night, the Shaare Tefila synagogue in Olney, MD was defaced with anti-Zionist graffiti.

The acronym "AZAB," short for "All Zionists Are Bastards," was painted on the synagogue's main sign, and a sign that is anti-hate as well as a sign supporting Israel. The main sign also had a swastika, and the pro-Israel sign said "Genocide." 





Suddenly, all the "progressive" voices who claim to be against antisemitism are struck mute when the attack on a synagogue is done by one of their own.

Neither JVP, SJP nor IfNotNow condemned the vandalism, even their campus or local branches. 

The one interesting exception is CAIR-Maryland. Even though the vandalism is clearly anti-Israel, it chose to pretend that it was "Neo-Nazi Vandalism." 

AZAB is a variation of the progressive, anarchist "ACAB" - All Cops Are Bastards. It is not used by right wing antisemites at all. CIAR knows this - it linked to one of the news stories that did not mention the acronym at all. 

One other prominent person commented - to complain about Jews "weaponizing" antisemitism when they are the victims of a hate crime. Imani B., a social media influencer with hundreds of thousands of followers, posted on Threads that it was "probably an inside job" that had nothing to do with "Isntreal."




Anyone who denies that anti-Zionism is a form of antisemitism is a liar.
