‘Heil Hitler’ written on Jewish family’s Las Vegas home  

(JTA) – The home of a Jewish family in Las Vegas was tagged with the phrase “Heil Hitler” and a swastika in what police believe is a random attack by teenagers rather than a hate crime. Sara Attia, a mother of three, said she called police after finding the antisemitic graffiti drawn on the door of her apartment Monday, Nov. 5.She was already planning to immigrate to Israel when the incident happened, The Times of Israel reported. Attia, 27, who speaks Hebrew, said she is open about being Jewish and has no doubt that her home was deliberately targeted. But police did not consider it a hate crime. Police officers came to her children’s Chabad day school and said they would step up patrols in the area. Attia told Ynet that she is leaving the United States due to antisemitism.
