JuneIn Tel Aviv on June 11, the Bnei Benjamin synagogue was torched and swastikas were daubed on the walls of the Great Synagogue.[1] On June 16, vandals rampaged through the Chidushei Harim yeshiva destroying tefillin, prayer books, bibles and copies of the Talmud, scrawling "down with the black parasites" on the walls.[2] In Jerusalem, a Chabad synagogue was ransacked and the Torah scroll was slashed and hundreds of prayer books were destroyed. The violence was instigated in retaliation for the destruction of multiple bus shelters by religious Jews[3] with one group calling itself Citizens Against Zealotry threatening to burn a synagogue for every bus shelter destroyed. MK Rabbi Avraham Yosef Shapira declared that "only in an anti-Semitic country could such acts take place."[4] Knesset Speaker Shlomo Hillel said the synagogue arson was reminiscent "of the worst experience of the Jewish people."[5] Israeli President Chaim Herzog called the synagogue attacks "domestic anti-Semitism."[6]

"In retaliation for the defacing of the shelters, secular extremists began a wave of vandalism against Orthodox synagogues and yeshivot (religious schools). Anti-Orthodox slogans were painted upon the wall of an ultra-Orthodox synagogue in Jerusalem, and arsonists attempted to burn down one in Tel Aviv. In Jerusalem the Habad synagogue was ransacked by vandals, who broke into the holy ark, slashed a Torah scroll, and destroyed hundreds of prayer books. In the Hidushei Harim Yehsiva in Tel Aviv, vandals destroyed prayer books, Bibles, copies of the Talmud, and religious articles. Other schools across the country also were vandalized. Swastikas were painted upon the wall of a Tel Aviv synagogue. A note left behind by a group calling itself Citizens Against Zealotry said that a synagogue would burn for every bus shelter destroyed. "Words fail me to express the shock all of us felt in the face of the attempt by a hooligan, or hooligans, to set fire to a synagogue," said former Israeli prime minister Shimon Peres." […] "Israelis were shocked over the synagogue attacks, which were uncomfortably reminiscent of the anti-Semitism of the Diaspora. "I came to Israel to get away from this type of thing," said one old Jewish woman. "I never imagined that it could happen here." Former prime minister Peres said that "the people will never forgive these acts." Rabbi Avraham Shapira, an ultra-Orthodox MK, called for legislation that would make such acts punishable by life in prison and declared that "only in an anti-Semitic country could such acts take place."".
