An Orthodox Jewish community in San Antonio, Texas, was targeted by anti-Semitic graffiti, Jewish media in the US reported.

Local police said that more than 30 cars, homes, buildings and other structures were spray painted with graffiti which included swastikas, “KKK,” and hateful epithets.

The graffiti was found in the blocks surrounding the local synagogue, Rodfei Sholom.

“This is where we walk our children for learning, for synagogue, where families congregate and gather to strengthen their relationship with God and with one another,” Winslow Swart, a board member at Rodfei Sholom, told My San Antonio.com.

One vehicle had the word “Jew” spray-painted on it and a large rock thrown through the driver-side window.

“(We are) outraged that in this day and age there are people who still live in their own minds and own worlds where it seems to be okay to hate people based on their religion,” said Howard Feinberg, a board member at the community.

“This criminal and cowardice act has no place in any Texas community,” said Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick in a statement.

Pastor John Hagee of Christians United for Israel said : “We consider this anti-Semitic attack an attack an assault on both Christians and Jews. This act of hatred is an affront on all people of faith. Anti-Semitism is an abomination and we must unequivocally confront it whenever and wherever it is found.”
