Hamas posters posted at U.S. synagogues

LOS ANGELES (JTA) — Police in California are investigating as hate crimes the posting of anti-Israel and pro-Hamas placards at two synagogues.
Three letter-sized, hand-written signs were discovered Tuesday at Beth Jacob, an Orthodox congregation in Irvine, Calif. One poster proclaimed, “Gaza– The New Shoah” and a second read, “Hamas Recognizes Israeli Genocide.”
Similar posters were found on the same day at the nearby Reform Congregation Shir Ha-Ma’alot.
Kevin O’Grady, Orange County regional director for the Anti-Defamation League, condemned the “targeting of temples to express anger toward Israeli action in Gaza.”

Fousesquawk comment: Why is this not being reported by the mainstream media-as usual? Where are the voices of CAIR? Where are the voices of the Islamic Society of Orange County?
This is unacceptable. Not in our country. Not in America.
Can you imagine the outrage if pro-Israeli posters were put up in a mosque. There would be wall-to-wall, hour-to-hour, non-stop media coverage. The President would get involved and Congress would hold hearings.
