The hate graffiti was tagged on the Chabad Centre just prior to Yom HaShoah, a day that remembers those lost during the Holocaust.
In response to the graffiti, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) said in a tweet that “Jewish children have a right to feel safe in places of learning and recreation, and should never have to come across such hateful slogans when coming to the Chabad Centre in Victoria.”
“This cowardly attempt at intimidation will not go unchallenged,” the CIJA tweeted.
Anyone who recognizes these suspects or has information about this incident is asked to call the VicPD Report Desk at 250-995-7654 extension 1. To report anonymously, call Greater Victoria Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
