DNEPROPETROVSK, Ukraine – Anti-Semitic slogans have again appeared on a concrete wall at one of the busiest intersections of Dnepropetrovsk. The graffiti was left on the wall of “Salut” Works operated by Ukraine’s State Committee for State Material Reserves. In addition to “traditional” anti-Semitic slogans, which have been appearing lately in Dnepropetrovsk in relation with the current conflict in the Middle East, anti-Semites added a new “scrawl:” “Palestine for Arabs; Babiy Yar for Yids.” This was most probably the response of a group of anti-Semites to the pro-Israeli rally which took place last week in Dnepropetrovsk and included thousands of the city’s residents.
The Jewish Community of Dnepropetrovsk has repeatedly requested state agencies to stop the activity of anti-Semitic organizations in Dnepropetrovsk. However, nothing has been done so far. In this last case the walls of the State Committee of Ukraine have been vandalized. The Jewish Community hopes this fact will awaken the corresponding agencies to the plague of anti-Semitic hooliganism in the city.
