(JTA) -- An arson attack last year on cars in a predominately Jewish neighborhood of New York reportedly is being investigated as an insurance scam instead of a hate crime. The attack on Nov. 11, the day after Kristallnacht commemorations, included the spray-painting with anti-Semitic graffiti of the nearby sidewalk and park benches. Elected officials and Jewish leaders roundly condemned the attack. Police sources told local media, including the New York Daily News and the New York Post, that the cars were likely set alight in order to collect insurance money, and the graffiti was spray-painted in the area to make the attack look more like a realistic hate crime. The owners of the cars did not live in the neighborhood where they were torched, and beer bottles found at the scene were wiped clean of fingerprints, which police said pointed away from an act of hate. A police spokesman told the Daily News that police had not ruled out a bias crime. The New York Police Department's Hate Crimes Task Force investigated the incident.

I'm surprised the anti-semetics haven't commented about this yet!!!!
Quiz of the Day: Who made the statement "The world would be a better place if only Men were to vote?????? HINT: It was a woman!!!
O'bomber was wearing his Yamaka when he torched those cars. Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Nah, it had to have been that 'angry black women' operating out of the White House.
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
