A synagogue in North Miami Beach in Florida was vandalized with spray-painted swastikas and the word "Hamas," the JTA (Jewish Telegraphic Agency) website reports today (July 28, 2014).
The attack on Congregation Torah V'Emunah came early this morning, according to local reports.
The epithets were discovered slightly more than a day after cars owned by a Jewish family in Miami Beach were egged and smeared with cream cheese while the family attended Shabbat services at their local synagogue. The vandals also wrote "Jew" and "Hamas" on the back of the cars, parked in front of their home in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood of Miami Beach.
"Everyone was shocked," said family daughter Rachel Shakib. "No one knew what was going on, we're like this is America, this is Miami. Why would we be targeted here? We're supposed to be safe, free from anti-Semitism."
