Police in Orlando are investigating an antisemitic incident that took place on New Year\u2019s Eve, when unknown persons projected an anti-Jewish message onto the outer wall of an office building in the downtown area of the city.<\/span><\/p>\n

As revelers celebrated the New Year holiday outside the building on Orange Street, the sentence \u201cVax the Jews\u201d was beamed onto its wall in bright flashing letters. The phrase first appeared at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic<\/a>, when the antisemitic \u201cGoyim Defense League\u201d (GDL) featured it on banners and flyers as part of a coast-to-coast campaign that falsely depicted the coronavirus as a sinister Jewish conspiracy.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Orlando Police Department told local network ClickOrlando that it was investigating the incident but had no clues as to who was responsible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amateur video of the incident showed a complete lack of response from the crowd as the antisemitic message was flashed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Asked by a ClickOrlando correspondent for his reaction to the crowd\u2019s indifference, Keith Dvorchik \u2014 CEO of Shalom Orlando, a local Jewish group \u2014 noted that \u201cwe\u2019ve talked about this far too many times.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJewish people remain the only group that is OK to hate,\u201d Dvorchick remarked.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dvorchik added that \u201cas someone who\u2019s very publicly Jewish, I have concerns all the time, what if someone decides they want to target me?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He recalled a recent shabbat sermon at an Orlando synagogue where the rabbi had asked congregants for a show of hands as to whether they had considered leaving the US because of rising antisemitism.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThree-quarters of the congregation raised their hands that they\u2019d already been thinking about where they were going to have to go, because the United States was going to no longer be safe for them,\u201d Dvorchik said. \u201cIt is sad, it\u2019s disappointing, but I hope that most people are watching this also find it incredibly offensive.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
