I wanna pivot for a sec and talk about why vandalism at Jewish cemeteries isn't a harmless prank. This is the Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague.pic.twitter.com/WrOPAYVzsm

To see Jewish cemeteries so desecrated here is to see the same genocidal glee that the Nazis partook in. It is abhorrent beyond words.
This is not leftist hysterics. This is beyond spraypainting swastikas badly. This is violence and desecration. Don't let this slip you by.

And since this thread is getting legs, here's a thread on the experience of what you see before the cemetery:https://twitter.com/EmilyGorcenski/status/828181302893502465 …
After the war, Jewish people said "Never again". Today, we think "Never again wonder how a nation could slide into this"
Absolutely not meant to minimize (I already retweeted your tweets). Just want to say reminded me of:https://twitter.com/b9AcE/status/833866488419385346 …
I hope I did not offend. It was not my intention. These are difficult subjects...
No offense taken, those images are awful
Thank you. I'm sorry either happened.
Czechia's problems with Jewish cemeteries continue. The cemetery in the city of Prostějov was destroyed by the Nazis.
A restoration project funded by an American Jew has turned up many gravestones: http://bigstory.ap.org/article/0cb97aef5f1d435a815b6f57846acb88/search-jewish-tombs-lost-wwii-brings-back-heritage …
Many were used as building material, etc.
The town hall listed the cemetery as a heritage site, and a protest was filed in opposition: http://praguemonitor.com/2016/12/01/ministry-insists-jewish-cemetery-being-heritage-listed …
This dispute evoked so many and such strong anti-Semitic sentiments that experts were (for some reason) shocked.
This will be a fun exercise for me to read and translate and learn, thank you.
My pleasure, let me know if you need help with any thorny bits. :)
