1. It's a shame...

I live not far from the synagogue and didn't hear a thing about this until I read the article on Ynet. The local news media has ignored the story. Anti-semitic incidents occur all of the time in the metro-d.c. area and the leftist media yawns. Now, if it this had happened to a mosque...
2. A childish prank..
RJK ,   canada   (04.20.11)
oh so similar to what began in Germany and other countries in the '30,s. I suppose children did it, based upon statements uttered by some of those who referred to the 2 culprits of the Itamar atrocities by...as stated by relatives of the 2 animals who killed the entire family..."but, they're just kids". And, these 2 were stated by the arresting individuals as being 19 & 20 yrs. old!! Yep, just kids...when it suits ones purposes, huh? Yet the damage done is on par with ANYONE capable of committing such. All one really requires is-the disire to do so and the physical and mental capacity to complete the process. Age? Whats that really got to do with it???
3. simple solution...

file an insurance claim to recover the loss and costs of damage repair.

This Synagogue is not in Washington D.C. Jews are fine and peaceful in our city, its spring and its beautiful.

First catch them, hold them for trial, and use them as an example Insurance can come afterwards I really admire your non-existent address, it's as non-creative as all your posts are, the ravings of a madman, who doesn’t have the courage to get physically involved himself, using a computer as a refuge for his ravings
6. #4 Rob and addendum to your correction

I took place in Maryland, they have a video of a car that was near the scene let them catch these momserim and put them out of circulation for a long, long time There's a reward, sure as shooting, they'll be turned in for it "Montgomery County police are investigating four vandalisms in Rockville and Potomac they say may be hate crimes. Fourteen windows were shattered with a BB gun early Monday, said police spokesman Officer Howard Hersh. Police are investigating the shooting spree as a hate crime because targets included a synagogue and two Jewish-owned businesses on the first day of Passover, he said. One window of both Robert Bernard Jewelers and Lacy Couture Apparel in the Potomac Woods Shopping Center in Rockville were shot with a BB gun around 1:19 a.m., Hersh said. Six windows at Beth Sholom Congregation in Potomac were also discovered shot at 7:30 a.m. Rockville City Police discovered six windows were shot out with a BB gun at Julius West Middle School in Rockville at 1:29 a.m. Monday. Police have no suspect information, but released a surveillance photo of a gold two-door vehicle in the Fortune Terrace Shopping Center at the time the vandalism occurred. Anyone with information on the vandalisms is asked to contact the county police department's 1st District Investigative Section at 240-773-6084. Those who wish to remain anonymous and qualify for a reward may call Crime Solvers of Montgomery County at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477).
