FBI investigating over a hundred gravestones vandalized at Jewish cemeteries 

Going after graves is such a wild act. Like what justification do you have to vandalize the dead?

To vandalize a cemetery is beneath contempt. Despicable.

Are they so scared to fight actual people that they have to go after literal dead people? Cowards act as cowards live.

Disagreement w/Israeli policies is understandable. Plenty of Israelis disagree as well. But vandalizing Jewish (or any) graves is a cowardly act.

Taking on the dead takes a special kind of cowardice.

Disgusting, sad state of the nation.

No matter perspective this is unacceptable to do to ANY grave anywhere.

How is this resistance?

Demons working hard these days.

Why would people do this? How could this benefit anybody?

That is a hate crime!

This is a hate crime and should be treated as such to the fullest extent of the law. Maximum fines. Maximum sentences. This is not mere vandalism.

This offends me to my core. Not only are they gravestones, but some of those belonged to elders who have passed on great stories before they died.

What do these idiots plan to accomplish by vandalizing a cemetery?

Literally the lowest of the low

As caretakers of a very old cemetery I can explain a few things for comments I keep seeing that are lacking empathy or putting the blame on anyone but the vandals: - Most cemeteries, in particular old cemeteries, are cared for by volunteers usually on their own time and dime. And it’s a lot of work and cost. - Often times, especially in rural areas, you are not tending them everyday… part of that whole volunteer thing… but only when the grass needs mowed, weeds trimmed, graves dug, etc. And yes, folks can get sick, injured, travel, and so forth and might not be there for a few days. - June 25th was the last known time a caretaker saw the cemetery undamaged. Today the damage was found by someone connected. The person or people who help take care of the cemetery might have been ill or traveling, or whatever that they were not there for those few days. It’s not that long. You’re talking a week or slightly over. Most cemeteries, especially if it is dry, don’t need mowed only once a week. That’s why they are asking for reports of anyone that visited the cemetery since then so they can better determine when the damage was done. It seems no one reported the damage prior to that time period; so maybe there were no visitors or passersby who noticed. - Most cemeteries, obviously, cannot afford trail cameras, let alone security cameras or security. 🙄 Lots are sold, not rented, and the “tenants” are obviously not capable of paying rent for maintenance and security. Most cemeteries don’t even have donations to help with maintenance and upkeep except for the volunteers who do so at their own cost. - The only ones to blame are the vandals.

Israeli, Palestinian, or any other nationality, no grave should be vandalized.

This is Rich suburban kids for Palestine 😮!!!.

Totally disgusted

"We're not antisemitic, we're just antizionist"

There’s always some losers!!!!!!! who think it’s cool to vandalize a cemetery😢

People are so ridiculous. Pity the person who did this, for they can’t be in a good place in their mind and heart.

Such disrespect.

Oh, I wonder what certain cult group is responsible for this….

Teach your children to be tolerant and understand people.

Oh, FFS, leave the dead alone. Cemeteries are NOT your playground. What sick little people.

Wow, thats a new level of dispicable. Regardless of whatever you feel towards anyone. they're dead. Why would you do that to a dead person basically. Just wow...some crazy levels of hate in this world.

We know who did this. All those Hamas sympathizers. How disgusting.

Was it the "free palestine" crowd doing this?

Reprehensible people to do something like this.

despicable

Such a sad life you have to have if youre destroying graves

“ Religion of Peace ” and “ Queers for Palestine ” at it again 🏳️‍⚧️☪️🏳️‍🌈👶🏾❤️👳🏿‍♀️

That is some sick people.

Please Lord come quickly 🙏 evil has taken hold of many

“It’s totally just about zionism and totally not about having an excuse to openly hate jews guys 🙄”- the cope of slacktivists

This is unacceptable

likely palestinians, especially HAMAS... awful.

No respect for the dead. 😡

This is the kind of thing that took place in Germany before WWII and it says a lot about exactly who and what these people really are.

I hate it how so many people are proud of their antisemitism stance and take pride in words that led to much more than this crime.

Whoever can be so disrespectful to so many graves of the departed, is a disgusting excuse of a human being. People like this make me sick! 🤢

This is heartbreaking

I’m so tired of all this hate and division. Can’t we put our energy towards something positive?

It used to be NAZlS that did this, now it's LGBTQ+21A

I’ve been saying for years antisemitism is getting worse in America, but many of my non-Jewish friends didn’t believe me. Well, now I hope they believe me, even though they stopped talking to me on October 7 while my people were getting murdered just an hour away from me because somehow being scared in my shelter makes me a “terrorist” to people who have known me personally for a very long time and should know the truth by now. The world is upside down.

Not even the dead are safe anymore

In the south, when somebody does something like that, we call it… Plum sorry…. That’s just about as low as it gets.

this is beyond sick.

These vandals have no life.

Religion of peace or woke college students?

Absolutely Disgusting.

Tf? 8 days unnoticed? Thats bs

"THE RELIGION OF PEACE STRIKES AGAIN" -Sun Tsu The art of war

God help the lack of humanity currently on this planet

Yep, we all know exactly who this was

How stupid does someone have to be to desecrate deceased people’s graves like this? Unbelievable!

Its a spit in the face to WW2 veterans now it seems they fought for nothing

How did it go unnoticed for 8 days? Not only should the vandals feel ashamed, but so should she and the groundskeeper

No cameras? Sad state of the country.

Now this is just disgusting. Even if it’s hallowed grounds they still do such a cowardly act.

Disgraceful. So sorry.

_"It's not antisemtisim, it's anti-zionism, trust me bro."_

If disrespecting grave stones is "antisemitism " then what israeli Army destroying the cemetries and vandalizing the innocent dead bodies in cemetry called?

Never understood the beef against this group

Some people have no shame. Absolutely disgusting 😢

I'll bet there were cameras. The culprits will be caught and sent to prison.

“Free Palestine!!” *proceeds to desecrate a cemetery*

It's not the who it's the fact that it happened how low can we go not much lower 😢

yeah i dont care what religion you are, and or what religions you dont like, why do you have to disrespect the dead thats someones relative…

From the River to the Sea people. 😢

What a disgrace.

angry hateful people

Disgusting behavior.

The people in Israel has nothing to do with the people in America. There's no reason to do this

Its 9/11 on Daily basis in Biben's America

Unacceptable. I hope the people who did this are held accountable.

I feel for the families 😢

This is just wrong. I hope whoever did this is brought to justice

“We’re not antisemitic we’re antizionist”

I don't know whose the jerk or jerks who did this, but this is disrespectful and cowardly.

Whatcha doing there Rabbi?

In Surabaya City Indonesia, there is a Jewish cementery that still standing but the Synagogue is demolished in 2013.

Do these places not have cameras?

Local cemeteries there need to set up some trail cameras if they can afford to.* When the old cemetery our family has cared for over the last six decades as a promise to a man born in the late 1800s was vandalized, we spoke to a local police officer. No FBI ever got involved. As far as I know any of the times cemeteries have been vandalized or stolen from only state police got involved. Our cemetery has graves from hundreds of years ago, but stones from the late 1800s back. We have veterans from multiple wars buried here, as well as families including children. Some stones were damaged in the 1960s, in multiple instances. Twenty years ago someone stole the sign we got the township to finally put up. It wasn’t even up a couple of days. A few months later someone proceeded to bust or knock over most of the stones. They stole about a dozen, including a large stone for a War of 1812 veteran and some footers, some of which were for children. Evidence from the ruts and tracks indicated they used a vehicle, likely a truck, to ram into some to break them off and load them up. A state police officer came out, a newspaper after I wrote and submitted an article about it… which they put under opinion for some reason. The poor police officer showed up to up our farm one day during milking, all excited. Someone had called about finding a stone in the ditch and he went and retrieved it in the hopes of restoring the stone. When he opened the trunk, my dad felt terrible breaking the news to him that it wasn’t one of ours and that meant another cemetery had been vandalized. My dad, grandpa, and I spent weeks, during Spring planting of course, digging out the bases to level them and clean them up. Traffic that went by would freak out after slowing down to see what we were doing and then gas it like we were ghosts or something. Even some folks we know who were walking at the time warily hurried by. None of them ever set foot into the cemetery, alone offered to help. A company that makes stone carvings and tombstones offered to help us patch them with stone epoxy, but first we had to restore and level the bases for those that were left. They were able to help us restore even some of the older damaged ones as best we could. They were great. The VA had two new stones made for two veterans; one for the one that was stolen and another that was damaged. A local VFW funded getting a large foundation boulder from the old school engraved at the stone company for a sign with a map and engraving that honored the veterans; since those things and their flags get stolen too. We even had a man contact me who maintained an old cemetery in his area. He offered advice and tips, and told the story of how they caught the vandals there and he insisted the judge put them to work helping him restore everything. And they did. Hopefully there are kind folks in that area who will help restore the stones. *This cemetery and other local ones need to get some trail cameras or enlist the help of folks who already have some to use. If they set them up in a place more obscure and difficult to steal, hopefully they can have documentation if another destruction happens. Unfortunately, given our experience that did happen here. It wasn’t even to the closest cemeteries either, but in the same county. Tech wasn’t around or as affordable as it is now, so maybe they could get some feasible options. It won’t stop it, but it could help document it for evidence.

And then the world wanders why America is falling apart.

Many may not agree with both the Israeli and Palestinian governments, but vandalizing graves and harming innocent civilians is disgusting.

This is being done by deplorables who are going to be surprised that there is KARMA!

Is it really that easy to knock over big, heavy gravestones like that?

No graffiti? No messages such as "free palestine" or anything like that? Any empty beer cans or cigarette butts in the area? It's a puzzle.

FBI: we have concluded that the criminals are not guilty and that Trump supporters are to blame.

Here's a hint; it's a democrat.

a jewish cemetary was vandalized... could it be some palestian/hamas supporters did it?

These protesters are doing a great job of making me agree with everyone who is against them

It is good to see that the top comments agree that it is a terrible, despicable act

Vandalizing graves does not make America great again. But it gives a courageous Proud Boy something to do.

This is SHAMEFUL

Pure hate crimes

Yikes no one in the world should be happy about this. Horrible. What a disgrace

Even our graveyards aren't safe any more 😳
