Jew-Baiting in Brooklyn Heights

Israel's Foreign Minister visits Brooklyn Heights, and suddenly synagogues are awash with swastikas and other Jew-baiting and anti-Israel (not that there's anything wrong with that!) slogans.

In response, churches, mosques and synagogues have shown some inter-faith solidarity in the form of this Monotheism-or-Bust banner:

It good to see a community that's lately been the sight of a happy reverse exodus of Manhattan Jewry — including yours truly — come together in this way. But hasn't anyone told the multi-denominational clerisy of Cranberry Street that anti-Semitism is just an outmoded Edward Gorey sketch in the collective imagination of Marty Peretz, Jeff Goldberg, Richard Perle, Ron Rosenbaum, etc. etc.?
