Also in October, a swastika was spotted in Dupont along with a profanity-laced but mostly unintelligible message.

Anti-Semitic, pro-terror graffiti continues to plague an affluent neighborhood in Washington, D.C., causing worry among some residents as anti-Jewish incidents continue to spike across the globe.
A swastika with the words, “F***ing D.C. cops” was spotted this week along 19th and N Streets NW in the Dupont Circle neighborhood in downtown D.C., according to residents and photographs obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The unknown vandals have repeatedly gone after Jews and have expressed support for the Islamic State, according to a number of photos obtained by the Free Beacon as investigated over several months.
The anti-Semitic, pro-terror graffiti has caused discomfort among some Jewish residents, who have been on high alert following a sharp uptick in anti-Jewish violence both locally and abroad.
“Symbols are the first indicators that the problem of virulent anti-Semitism within radical Islam is coming to our shores and we should not delude ourselves into believing that America is immune from what Europe has been confronted with recently,” said Sarah Stern, founder and president of D.C.-based pro-Israel group Endowment for Middle East Truth.
The graffiti was first spotted late last year and has continued to appear in similar locations around D.C. The anti-Semitic images coincide with a five-month series of threats against a Jewish-owned D.C. business by individuals claiming to be affiliated with IS (also known as ISIS or ISIL).
Residents said the images first appeared in August and spread. Some included Jewish stars accompanied by the words “Allahu Akbar” written in Arabic.
