B.C. RCMP consult with hate crime specialists after anti-Semitic graffiti found at Jewish camp

Gabriola Island RCMP say they've launched a criminal investigation after swastikas and other disturbing graffiti was discovered on a building at a Jewish summer camp earlier this month.

A caretaker found the vandalism on the side of a building at Camp Miriam on Dec. 19, and notified the police.

"RCMP take matters such as these very seriously," RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Jesse O'Donaghey said in a press release.

This is at Camp Miriam. My oldest was really looking forward to finally getting to go this summer. It’s a wonderful Jewish summer camp from what I hear. Very much needed as Jews in BC are usually fairly scattered and there aren’t many Jewish communities outside of Vancouver.

Of course, separating and putting kids in cages is apparently no big deal to half the country.
