Israel Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial attack: Three held

Three ultra-Orthodox Jewish men have been arrested in Israel, suspected of defacing the national Holocaust memorial with anti-Zionist graffiti.

One of the slogans daubed in paint on the walls of the memorial read: "If Hitler had not existed, the Zionists would have invented him."

The suspects have admitted vandalising the site, a police spokesman said.

Suspicion for the attack had fallen on radical ultra-Orthodox Jews who oppose the creation of the state of Israel.

Also occasionally embraced by other anti-Zionists.

People need to be aware of who they are and what they stand for.

Perhaps this will open some eyes.

They always seem to be at the front of protests against Israel in the US and elsewhere.
