Some 19 swastikas were spray painted on the walls of a Jewish Community Centre in Virginia.
The vandalism was discovered on Saturday morning at the Jewish Community Centre of Northern Virginia, in Fairfax, Va. Surveillance video shows a man wearing dark clothes spraying the building at about 4:30 a.m., Fairfax police told the Washington Post.

“As many of us recognise, these acts do not represent the community around the J or the community in Northern Virginia,” Fairfax JCC Executive Director Jeff Dannick and JCC Board President David Yaffe, said in a statement.
“The J as a whole, and particularly through the focused efforts of our Committee for a Just and Caring Community, will continue to participate as a positive force in both the Jewish and wider communities,” they also said.
