In Vienna’s second district, several Jewish shops and houses were spray-painted with antisemitic slogans. Slogans such as “Death to Zionism” and “Victory to Palestine” can be read. 

Israeli Ambassador David Roet immediately spoke out about the “antisemitic graffiti”: “The ugly face of antisemitism is visible once again.”

The president of the Jewish Community of Vienna (IKG), Oskar Deutsch, reported that there had recently been an increase in antisemitic incidents.
