New Zealand - Jewish graves desecrated

Karori Cemetery was the target in an attack. Six graves were desecrated - some with stencils and some in freehand - and all in vivid blue paint.

Together with the usual anti-Semitic phrases such as "Hitler RIP," "Rot you filth" and "Juden swine," the vandals wrote phrases such as "Terror State Israel Burn," "Schouten - Rotem is ZIONIST PIG" and "DE BRES YOU SWINE – OUT." leaving no doubt that the perpetrators' ire had been set off by Hank Schouten's front-page article about new, Australia-based Israeli Ambassador Yuval Rotem under the banner headline "I need a Maori."
