Pro-Palestine Anti-Israel protesters vandalize and deface Los Angeles National Cemetery where 90,000 war veterans are buried
|
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - The demonstrators used spray-paint on the entrance to the cemetery, illustrating phrases like 'Free Gaza' and 'intifada' on Sunday
- The Los Angeles National Cemetery is the final resting place of around 90,000 veterans from World War I to Vietnam
- The protesters also chanted the phrase 'from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,' which has been deemed anti-Semitic by many
The demonstration shut down an area near Interstate 405 on Wilshire Boulevard that afternoon.
The cemetery is in an area that has seen several protests during Israel's response to the Hamas terror attack on October 7. One protest, saw marchers s blocking the entrance to LAX just after Christmas.
Terrence Hayes, a spokesperson for the Department of Veterans Affairs, condemned the action in a statement.
'VA national cemeteries are where our nation's heroes are laid to rest, and any act of vandalism is unacceptable,' he said.
'We are taking immediate steps to restore the wall at the Los Angeles National Cemetery to its original state.'
Cleaning crews were seen soon after the vandalism cleaning up the graffiti on the entrance.
Congressman Brad Sherman, a Democrat who represents the district, slammed the protesters as anti-American.
'More proof that the people who hate #Israel, also hate America,' he wrote.
'Here, at the Los Angeles National Cemetery in my district, they deface a cemetery for those who gave their lives to end slavery and protect the world from fascism.'
