Anti-Semitic Graffiti Persists in D.C.'s Chinatown; Vandals Paint Swastikas, "Jew" on Images of Rats

Anti-Semitic graffiti has appeared for the fifth time this month at one of the busiest intersections in the Chinatown section of Washington, D.C., the Forward website reports today (August 23, 2016).

Earlier this month, vandals repeatedly painted the word "Jew" on the images of rats appearing on an outdoor Chinese Zodiac public art display. Yesterday, swastikas were discovered painted on the street nearby.

D.C. police are offering a $1,000 reward through Crime Solvers for information that leads to an arrest in the graffiti.

The incidents are being investigated as hate crimes.
