NEW YORK: Muslim Americans have helped raise more than ,000 to repair vandalized headstones at a Jewish cemetery in St.
Louis, Missouri, according to an online fundraising page, amid attacks and threats against Jewish institutions. US Vice President Mike Pence visited the graveyard on Wednesday and told clean-up volunteers, state officials and reporters that there was ** place in America for hatred, violence, anti-Semitism or acts of prejudice. "I must tell you the people of Missouri are inspiring the nation by your love and care of this place, for the Jewish community in Missouri and I want to thank you for that inspiration," Pence said. About 170 headstones were toppled or damaged at the century-old Chesed Shel Emeth Society cemetery over the weekend, according to cemetery staff. Some Jewish groups described the vandalism and threats as the latest evidence that anti-Semitic groups have been emboldened by the election of Donald Trump as US president. His campaign last year drew the support of white nationalists and right-wing groups, despite his disavowals of them. "Muslim Americans stand in solidarity with the Jewish-American community to condemn this horrific act of desecration," the fundraisers said on their website. More than 3,000 people had donated $91,583 by late Wednesday after**on. cemetery staff declined comment on the fundraising. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Muslims raise $91,000 for vandalized Jewish cemetery || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
