North American jews are are pretty peaceful, and forgiving bunch, and won't be out for "vengeance" per se. And I am sure someone in the Synagogue has a good connection to get that sign fixed up good and cheap.

I'm also Jewish and have to agree with your stance here. I don't support pacifism towards hatred in anyway, but this act is really trivial.
Opening this thread, I was expecting an actual act of violence of some sort.
This is just a bunch of ignorant skids with a spray paint bottle. They probably did this in the middle of the night when nobody was around too as not to risk an actual confrontation.

I asked an AG member, who posts on another board if they had anything to do with it and he says the didnt.
Probably just a bunch of drunk teenagers or something. I hope they get caught.

You "know" an AG member? What's his deal...is he a total reject or is he somewhat intelligent save for his irrational hatred of minorities and immigrants?

He posts in a forum that I post in, on a site called Nexopia.
Dont really know much about him.
I find he contradicts himself often though.
For example, I asked him if he liked the Flames and he said he did. I said what do you think of Iginla, Dawes and Bourque and he said something like, well they dont fit the stereotypical black athlete.

Also, this makes me suspect both were done by the same Tard(s).

Maybe they were buddist and wishing dharma, universal harmony, and the balance of opposites.

Does this need to be green?

Historically Jews have been successful, due to their brains and hard work. This irks people who are stupid and lazy.
Know what's funny? Even the most traditional Asian parent wouldn't mind a Jew as a son or daughter in law.

Don't forget our huge penises.
But seriously, when my sister told my mom that some Jewish boy liked her, she was like "Marry him now!".

It's a little more complicated then "Jews are better."
If memory serves, it was considered wrong to loan money (can't remember why, religion I suppose) so in many communities the Jews would run the banks. Banks make money, and people hate banks, so people started to hate Jews for being rich and hoarding money (which is what banks do).
Kinda lousy recap, maybe someone else can correct or expand on this.

The only popular religion I can think of that disallows usury is Islam. But everybody hated the Jews. Even the Egyptians.
