Marathon Pundit: Scottish Occupy protester arrested for destroying menorah

Occupy Chicago, November protest

Earlier this week I wrote about occupiers in America stealing a holy vessel from a church, urinating on a cross, and throwing Bibles at police officers.

It's not just Christianity being assaulted by OWS.

Last month a menorah was destroyed by an Occupy protester in Edinburgh, Scotland. He appeared in court last week and has been charged with "vandalism aggravated by hate," the Jewish Chronicle is reporting. Although a member of a synagogue in the Scottish capital says that the occupier's goal was to sell the aluminum for scrap.

Perhaps. But I'm sure the brute was aware that the menorah was a sacred object. The stench of anti-Semitism has pervaded the Occupy Wall Street movement since its founding in September.

Last month a menorah was damaged in Denmark by a member of Occupy Copenhagen.

Nothing is sacred to the occupiers--themselves excluded, of course.
