When have Jews in America ever carried out revenge for things like this other than just getting the guys arrested?????? Jews are the chosen people and a light unto the nations. Jews are supposed to set a good moral example.

You give them too much credit. My guess is that it was dumb ass kids that have no clue what that swatstika represents, raised by ignorant bigoted parents, that did the deed.
If they catch them, they should be forced to do community service in and around senior citizen homes that cater to Jewish clintele

I'm just writing a response here, while reading posts, and haven't done any kind of research.

The way this chosen people concept has been understood, or misunder-stood for a long time, as I understand it* is the way, as I perceive it, that is stated above**, and the way I've heard it described, with some resentment in their voices, by some individuals who are not Jewish; as in, "You're Jewish? God's chosen people right?"

I don't know the scripture citation, but my rabbi told us (confirmation class I think), that yes, it did mean, (as a written account as history in the Old Testament) God said he was holding the Jewish people to a higher standard, but not because we were better than any of the other nations. And the higher standard was really, being observant of all Jewish religious practices, and scripture teachings - that was a way to show respect towards God.

And by being observant of religious practices and teachings, as it was recounted in the OT, there would be the potential (my understanding here, and maybe a stretch) for individuals, by observing God's teachings to become more moral and empathetic towards each other, and ultimately treat all people with the same respect, Jewish or not Jewish - that's what I think the light unto the nations means, not some kind of putting ourselves on a metaphoric pedestal to conciously teach or show others, who are not Jewish, what ethics and morals should be. A final point, this event if communication between humans and God did take place, occurred a few thousand years ago, when the world and these early nations were a very different place, with a very different mindset.

OK that's a mouthful, some run-on sentences, starting sentences with "and" (no gold stars for that), and repitition. Just trying to respond, as a first impression, with my thoughts on this.

Some may think it's partially right, or partially right for the wrong reasons, or not right at all, that I'm in the wrong neck of the woods, or up to my neck in sand, in the Negeve. Just my two cents.

*no, I never wrote for Monty Python
** not meant as a personal put down, I'm writing why I understand it differently.

It's likely going to turn out to be the usual suspects, "school kids" but we really need to do something about the parents who are feeding them from the hate monster.

My guess is that it was dumb ass kids that have no clue what that swatstika represents, raised by ignorant bigoted parents, that did the deed.

That was my first reaction, too, except a rabbi at the scene pointed out that the orientation of the symbol was correct, and dumb ass kids usually rotate them to be square and/or mess up on the bends in the arms of the cross.

Our friend's kids have since said that there have been some teenagers who have been harassing them and telling them things about Hitler at the playground recently, so I'm thinking there's a connection. Or at least hoping so, since the only thing worse than one Nazi is more Nazis...

fiogf49gjkf0d
Typically when the cops catch up with the perps (we've had quite a few similar over the years around here) they tend to be early high school age, and their parents tend to be white supremacist sympathizers. At least in our neck of the woods, the cops lean on the parents pretty hard once the perps are found. We don't tolerate hate here. And the kids are sent to real counseling and do some time too.
