The incidents occurred Sunday at the FREE Synagogue and Hanna Sacks Bais Yaakov High School.
“We’ll get through it,” Rabbi Levi Notik told WFLD-TV. “I want to thank law enforcement, they did a tremendous job. They were here very quick, had detectives here in minutes.”
Vandalism also occurred at a synagogue in Lincolnwood, WMAQ-TV reported.
A Jewish group, the Concerned Citizens League, said windows were broken Saturday at a Chicago bakery and a Kosher food store.
“No official pronouncement has been made on a possible motive, but these have all the hallmarks of hate-based crimes,” said Debra Silverstein, a member of the Chicago City Council.
Police in Chicago were investigating.
This is to be expected in MAGA country, probably the same white supremacists who attacked jussie smollet.
Our mayor is a deviant black female. In a press conference, instead of focusing on the issue at hand, she managed to spin the attack back to herself- If they’re coming after the Jews, they’re gonna come after me too!
What a jerk.
Anti-semitism visible to all – except for those who refuse to see.
Unfortunately, the Chicago area politicians and even the state leaders refuse to acknowledge and pay sufficient attention to this.
They have arrested a suspect, who we know is a black guy, because none of the news reports mention his race, if he was a white guy they would be calling him a white supremacist neo nazi. The same media re still ignoring the Islamist hostage attack in Texas by calling the attacker a British national and ignoring teh fact that he was an islamist.
