Local News Jewish community in Philadelphia saddened, outraged by vandalism at Weitzman National Museum
Red graffiti can still be seen spray-painted over the Israeli flag that's hanging on the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia's Old City neighborhood. The museum said this vandalism, which happened early Monday morning, is the second incident in two weeks. "Appallingly, vandalizing Jewish institutions has become a daily occurrence in America. The Anti-Defamation League reported over 9,000 cases of antisemitism just this past year. Unfortunately, the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History has become part of that statistic," Dan Tadmor, the president and CEO of the museum, said.
