Swastikas sprayed on Jewish deli

Dallas, Tex. - Natalie's Kitchen and International Market, a kosher restaurant, was victim to swastikas and obscenities spray painted on the building in Far North Dallas. Police are investigating it as a hate crime. A Reform synagogue in Sherman was also victim to a burglary and vandalism last week. In that case, police got a tip and two men were arrested in connection with the crime. That incident appeared to be an alcohol-related crime of opportunity and not an act of hate. 

In hopes to avoid just these kinds of problems, Natalie's owners have kept a low profile and have no external signs indicating it as a Jewish establishment. Elements of the graffiti indicate it is not the work of an organized anti-Semitic group.
