“It is no coincidence that these antisemitic demonstrations appear 48 hours after the first anniversary of the Hamas attack against the State of Israel, because they express the same terrorist ideas: eliminating the Jewish people,” Victor Garelik said in a statement.
What’s really striking here is how graffiti like this targets a monument to Simon Bolivar someone who’s celebrated for unifying people and fighting for freedom. It’s like taking a symbol of liberation and using it to spread hate, which feels especially twisted. This kind of vandalism isn’t just about antisemitism; it’s about trying to undermine the values that places like this monument stand for.
