Mayor Jon Cooper tweeted on Sunday, “Nashville stands united against the hate and bigotry these horrific crimes reflect.
“We are appreciative of Chief Drake and his team’s continuous efforts to find the culprits and hold them accountable. Antisemitism and other forms of prejudice will not be tolerated in our city.”
Increased patrols were mandated by the police chief due to the incident of two suspects vandalized homes in Nashville’s Sylvan Park neighborhood. Also other locations with Jewish institutions are included in this mandate.
The “biggest Jewish community in Tennessee” is located in Nashville, according to the Goldring/Woldenberg Center of Southern Jewish Life. According to a Brandeis University research, there were about 11,000 Jewish households in Nashville and Middle Tennessee in 2015.
Two suspects vandalized homes shows that antisemitism is getting worse in the US and around the world. In 2021, there were a record 2,717 antisemitic acts, such as attacks, harassment, and vandalism, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
Police are telling people in the Sylvan Park neighborhood to look at their home surveillance cameras to see if they have any useful information.
