Jerusalem: Israeli police have arrested four ultra-Orthodox Jews under suspicion of defacing the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem with hate and pro-Hitler graffiti, media reports said.
The police said the suspects have also been linked to other vandalism cases in the greater Jerusalem area. They have admitted daubing the site.
According to reports, more than 10 slogans painted in black, red and white were found in Warsaw Ghetto Square and on the memorial to Jews sent off to the Nazi death camps. Some slogans praised Hitler “Thanks Hitler for the wonderful Holocaust you organised for us!” read one. “Only because of you we received a state.”
Another one said: “Jews, wake up, the evil regime does not protect us, it only endangers us.
“There will be an alternative museum to Yad Vashem – the selection,” “The Zionist leaders wanted the Holocaust”, “The war of the Zionist regime is not the war of the Jewish people” and “If Hitler hadn’t existed, the Zionists would have invented him.” were also scrawled at the site.
