New Hampshire Democratic Office Vandalized with Antisemitic, White Supremacist Symbols

The vandalism, including swastikas and antisemitic slurs, comes amid a reported rise in antisemitic and bias incidents in the U.S.

  • The New Hampshire Democratic Party's Belknap County office was vandalized with antisemitic and white supremacist symbols and messages.
  • The vandalism included swastikas and an antisemitic slur spray-painted on the side of the group's headquarters, and posters featuring a star of David with a knife through it, as well as conspiracy theories about Jews and the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
  • The state party doesn't know who is responsible for vandalizing the property, but the New Hampshire Democratic Party notified the state attorney general's office about the incident with the hopes that it can be investigated as a hate crime.
  • Johnna Davis, the chair of the Belknap County Democratic Committee, believes they were targeted because of a post on the group's Facebook page last week about an event at a local synagogue to commemorate Kristallnacht.
  • FBI Director Christopher Wray recently testified before Congress about the rise in antisemitism and domestic extremism in the U.S., citing that Jews in America suffer “something like 60% of all religious-based hate crimes and incidents” despite representing only about 2.4% of the American public.
