NEW YORK, NY - Who is spreading these hateful images across America?
From New York City to Houston's Rice University, vandals are creating symbols and messages of hate and anti-Semitism.
In Chicago, a suspect was caught on surveillance footage shattering the glass windows of a synagogue and leaving behind these Nazi decals.
"Unfortunately, there seems to be some more of that going on these days," one observer said.
Even more alarming, the Feds are investigating bomb threats against dozens of Jewish community centers all across the country in 26 states over the past month!

Swastika and ‘TRUMP’ Graffiti Scrawled on Statue at Houston’s Rice University
A swastika was drawn in bright-colored chalk on the base of the founders statue at Rice University in Houston.
The word “TRUMP” accompanied the swastika on the 2,000-pound William Marsh Rice statue, located in the heart of the academic quad of the campus, the Houston Chronicle reported. The vandalism reportedly occurred on Friday night, according to the university.
Rice was not Jewish although the prestigious university does have a large Jewish student population.
It is the third act of racist vandalism on the campus this month.
