The Jerusalem Post reports:
A Jewish deli in Copenhagen was vandalized on Wednesday night – its walls spray-painted with anti-Semitic remarks, the store's front window smashed, nearly shattered to pieces.
Police discovered the damage in the early hours of Thursday morning, local newspapers reported. The words "Jewish pigs" could be seen in big white letters on one of the kosher supermarket's walls, beside a window bearing the name of the shop – 'Slagter & Delikatesse' – alongside its logo, a white dove fluttering its wings against a blue background.
Law enforcement officials were searching the affluent Østerbro neighborhood for the perpetrators. The deli was regularly guarded by an armed security officer during business hours, after a spate of attacks two months ago rattled the country's capital.
The owner, an Israeli native who moved to Denmark 22 years ago, said he felt imprisoned by the current security situation: "When I go to work, there's police outside. And when someone wants to enter the shop, the door can only be opened from the inside," he told the Copenhagen-based Berlingske Tidende on Thursday.
As for the act of violence directed at his shop, the Jewish butcher said that while he "cannot say I'm surprised – it's a pity this happens in a free country like Denmark." More.
