3 Ultra-Orth. Jews Accused of Defacing Museum; Painted Hateful Slogans on Holocaust Museum

The Forward (Jewish) website reports today (June 26, 2012) that three haredi Orthodox Jewish men have been arrested for spray painting anti-Semitic and anti-Israel graffiti on the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum in Jerusalem.

The ultra-Orthodox Jews -- ages 18, 26, and 27 of Jerusalem and Bnei Brak and reportedly of the Neturei Karta sect -- were arrested today, and admitted to the crime, which occurred earlier this month.

They are also suspected of being connected to vandalism attacks at Ammunition Hill on Memorial Day and on memorials in the Jordan Valley.

The slogans written in Hebrew included: "Hitler, thank you for the Holocaust," "If Hitler did not exist, the Zionists would have invented him," and "The war of the Zionist regime is not the war of the Jewish people."
