Another awful antisemitic graffiti incident at Whitman HS. Our thoughts are with Whitman families & staff. On Shabbat, and right before Hanukkah, it is disheartening that our Jewish community continues to be targets of hate. Have info about this crime? Please contact @mcpnews

Deeply alarmed by yet another horrific antisemitic hate incident with graffiti at Whitman HS following Nazi symbolism found yesterday on a bench at Montgomery Mall. We are coordinating with @MontCoExec, @MCPS, @mcpnews, @ADL_WashDC & @JCRCgw in response.
Hate as no place here.

Another act of antisemitism in Maryland. Today it is graffiti outside Walt Whitman High School. Yesterday it was a swastika at Montgomery Mall.
MCPD is aware and investigating.
My heart is breaking. We must end the rise of Jew hatred in our community.
