(Jewish Group) Anti-Semitic graffiti found near Jewish Family Service of Seattle

Although it’s been painted over, the hurt caused by an anti-Semitic message found spray-painted near Seattle's Central District still lingers. That message was discovered just a block away from Jewish Family Service of Seattle’s office.

"It's okay to be a Zionist genocider," read the hateful message.

"It's frustrating, it makes you angry, it's sad,” said Rabbi Will Berkovitz. “It's heartbreaking that this is what we are as a society."

Berkovitz is the Rabbi and CEO of Jewish Family Service, a social service agency. He said a neighbor spotted this anti-Semitic message Sunday morning spray-painted on the back of the 7-Eleven located on the corner of Pine and 16th streets, just a block away from the JFS.

It's OK everyone. This isn't about race. This is just legitimate criticism. No one was killed; no harm, no foul.
