Rome – Antisemitic graffiti appeared on Thursday in Rome’s Jewish Quarter and in the city’s Trastevere district – the latest in a series of acts of hatred against Jews to have occurred in Europe since the outbreak of the war between Israel and Hamas.
The graffiti featured the Star of David and a swastika connected by an ‘equal’ sign.
It was sprayed on walls in Piazza di Monte Savello, in Via di Monte Savello and in Piazza delle Cinque Scole, a short distance from the Great Synagogue of Rome.
Carabinieri police are investigating.
The graffiti comes after four stumbling stones, placed in memory of deportees to Nazi concentration camps, were recently vandalized in the area of the Rome ghetto.
