‘Getting worse and worse,’ Israeli-American Council says after headquarters vandalized with swastikas

When JNS visited the national headquarters of the Israeli-American Council in the leafy Los Angeles neighborhood of Woodland Hills on Monday morning, the area around the modernist building had already been cleaned up, after an antisemitic vandal spray painted swastikas, “burn” and Nazi “SS” bolts on Sunday morning.

A security guard checked JNS into the parking lot. But even with tight security, “some employees didn’t come to work today, because they don’t feel safe,” Tamar Nissim, Los Angeles regional director for the nonprofit, told JNS. Frightened community members are “thinking of moving out,” she added.

“We are very appalled by this vile, antisemitic act,” Nissim told JNS. “It’s getting worse and worse, and we really think that there’s something more deep that we need to address here
