Who would ever do such a thing? Certainly not Islam or the left that supports it.

April 2026, Austin, Texas: Congregation Beth Israel, the oldest synagogue in Austin, was vandalized with graffiti, including a swastika and the phrase "Death to Israel!" spray-painted on a retaining wall outside its parking lot on April 24, 2026. The synagogue was damaged in an arson attack in 2021. A former Texas National Guard member (Franklin Barrett Sechriest ) was sentenced in 2023 to 10 years in federal prison for the attack.

April 2019, Poway, California: White supremacist John T. Earnest opened fire at a synagogue in Poway, California, killing one person and injuring three before fleeing. He was apparently emulating white supremacist Brenton Tarrant's March 2019 killing spree at two mosques in New Zealand. Shortly after Tarrant’s spree, Earnest set fire to a mosque in Escondido, California, leaving behind graffiti that referenced Brenton Tarrant's attack. People inside the mosque were able to extinguish the fire. In September 2021, Earnest pleaded guilty to murder, attempted murder, and a firearms charge and received life plus 30 years in prison.

October 2018, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: White supremacist Robert Gregory Bowers carried out a deadly shooting spree at the Tree of Life synagogue, killing 11 and wounding seven more. In the summer of 2023, Bowers was found guilty on 63 counts, including hate crimes resulting in death and obstruction of the free exercise of religion resulting in death, which were potentially punishable by a death sentence. On August 2, 2023, a federal jury in Pittsburgh recommended that Bowers receive the death penalty for the attack. Bowers has since remained on death row.

September 2018, Mandeville, Louisiana: The Northshore Jewish Congregation (NJC) was vandalized with graffiti including multiple swastikas, the hate symbol 14/88, and the words “Synagogue of Satan.” Suspect Caine Zander Brown from New Orleans pleaded guilty to the hate crime and criminal damage to property in April 2022.
