In 2021, I made a cartoon lampooning how anti-Zionist claim not to be antisemitic by showing a grasffiti artist painting "Free Palestine" on a synagogue and claiming he is not antisemitic.
This wasn't satire. It was prophecy.
Since I made that cartoon, and especially since October 7, we have seen many cases of "anti-Israel" vandalism and protests specifically at synagogues.
It happened at least twice over the past couple of days.
The most recent happened on Friday at Austin's Congregation Beth Israel, "Death to Israel!" with a swastika:
And in
Hot Springs, AK, also April 23, "No peace as long as Israel exists":
But these have been happening with alarming frequency since October 7. Here is only a sample:
Lyon, France, October 2023, a synagogue was vandalized with Arabic graffiti that reads “Victory to our brothers in Gaza and “Glorious Gaza”.
Mercer Island (Seattle area), Washington – Herzl-Ner Tamid Congregation (November 22, 2023), "Shame on Israel":
November 2025, Sofia, Bulgaria synagogue:
This is not even close to all of them. Not to mention the anti-Israel protests that have been targeting synagogues as well.
Yet even when they attack synagogues, they claim they aren't antisemitic. And the media still takes those claims seriously.
Antizionism is just a type of antisemitism. And these prove it.
