philadelphia - About a hundred tombstones were vandalized at a Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia. That the police said Sunday. A week ago, vandals were already about 170 gravestones at a Jewish cemetery in St. Louis damaged.

Hundred tombstones are probably in the night from Saturday to Sunday (local time) overturned by vandals, the police reported.

'You hope that it comes to drunk teenagers, but because so many consecutive tilted it seems that it is intentional,' said a distressed man who visited the grave of his father.

The damage at the cemetery in St. Louis in the US state of Missouri last week, were accompanied by threats to Jewish institutions on the Internet.

Many people consider the action as another example of anti-Semitism after the election of Donald Trump as president emerged. During his campaign, he received strong support from white nationalists and far-right groups.
