Federal jury convicts man for defacing Michigan synagogue with swastika, other graffiti
[IsraelTimes] A federal jury has convicted a man on two counts for defacing one of Michigan’s oldest synagogues with a swastika and other graffiti in 2019, prosecutors say Thursday.

Nathan Weeden, 23, of Houghton has been found guilty of conspiring against rights and damaging religious property, prosecutors say.

According to prosecutors, swastikas and symbols associated with The Base, a white supremacist group, were sprayed on the outside of Temple Jacob in Hancock in the Upper Peninsula. Weeden and co-conspirators dubbed their plan "Operation Kristallnacht," which means "Night of Broken Glass" and refers to November 9-10, 1938, when Nazis killed Jews and burned their homes, synagogues, schools and places of business.

"This defendant shamelessly desecrated Temple Jacob when he emblazoned swastikas — a symbol of extermination — on their Temple walls," Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the US Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division says in a news release. "Such conduct is unacceptable and criminal under any circumstances but doing so in furtherance of a self-described ’Operation Kristallnacht’ conspiracy is beyond disgraceful."

A message seeking comment was left with Weeden’s attorney.

Two co-conspirators of Weeden were previously convicted in the case.

The construction of Temple Jacob was completed in 1912.

Seems even liberal US state juries clearly are not in agreement with the Anti-Semitic narrative that the MSM and the LSD talking bigot heads have been is pushing as another New Normal.
