PHILADELPHIA -- Police say scores of headstones have been
vandalized at a Jewish cemetery in northeast Philadelphia.
A police spokeswoman said preliminary estimates are that 75 to
100 graves were damaged at Mount Carmel Cemetery in the
Wissinoming section of the city.
Police said a vandalism report came in just after 9:30 a.m.
Sunday.
The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia lists Mount Carmel
as a Jewish cemetery in northeast Philadelphia.
Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon called the
damage reported in Philadelphia “shocking and a source of worry.”
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf called the vandalism “a cowardly,
disturbing act.”
“We must find those responsible and hold accountable,” he
tweeted.

“WE ARE SICKENED, SICKENED, SICKENED,” the Anne Frank Center for
Mutual Respect, which addresses human and civil rights issues
across the U.S., tweeted following reports about the vandalism.
The organization called on President Donald Trump to deliver a
speech about his intentions to combat forms of hate, including
anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.

As CBS Philly reports, the incident comes less than two weeks
after another cemetery, the Holy Redeemer Cemetery in the city’s
Bridesburg neighborhood, was vandalized. A man walking his dog
found more than 30 tombstones knocked over.
Amid mounting calls for action, Trump addresses anti-Semitism
Police have not drawn any connection between the two incidents.
The damage also comes less than a week after a Jewish cemetery
in suburban St. Louis reported that more than 150 headstones
were vandalized, many of them tipped over.
