“The vandalism at the cemetery comes as Jewish community centers throughout the country, including some in Central and Upstate New York, have been the targets of bomb threats in recent weeks. The story on the cemetery does have one bright side. A crowdfunding campaign started by Muslim activists has raised over $70,000 [$104,000 as of now] to help repair the damage, according to ABC News. Organizers said they wanted to send a message condemning hate, desecration and violence.
All proceeds from the campaign will go to help repair the cemetery. Organizers plan to donate any leftover money to help Jewish centers nationwide.” More here.
