A rabbi in Canada said the anti-Semitic graffiti spray-painted on the door of her Ottawa home was the result of feelings “unleashed” by Donald Trump.
A bright red swastika and the word “kike” were painted on the home of Rabbi Anna Maranta on Nov. 14. The home also hosts prayer services.
Maranta posted a photo of the graffiti on Facebook with the message: “This is what has been unleashed by the American President Elect, and those that support him.”
A rash of hate incidents including swastikas has occurred in the United States since Trump was elected last week.
In Montreal that same day a swastika was discovered on the wall of Hof Kelsten, an iconic Jewish bakery located a block away from the memorial site for the late Jewish-Canadian music legend Leonard Cohen. — jta
