An arrest has been made in the Brooklyn synagogue hate-vandalism case...

Earlier today, the police released a photo from interior security camera footage of a man wanted in connection with the vandalism:



They arrested him a few hours ago, but have not released details. They think he is also responsible for a string of small fires set at other Brooklyn area synagogues over the past day.

The article notes that he is now at a psychiatric facility for observation.

Black people are no more immune to antisemitism than Jews are to anti-black racism. This individual may be mentally disturbed, but Brooklyn has seen a spate of attacks on Jews by African-Americans spouting Farrakhanite horseshit. So when I saw this was in Brooklyn I figured it was more likely that than another MAGA attack.

Please stay alert but don't forget the times when these groups have come together for each other and continue to do so.
