(BOSTON, MA, 6/22/2023) – The Massachusetts chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MA) today condemned racist, antisemitic vandalism targeting a house and synagogue in Taunton.
Taunton police are investigating a possible connection between racist vandalism at a house and antisemitic vandalism at a synagogue, both discovered on Friday.
“We condemn these hateful acts and thank law enforcement authorities for their investigation,” said CAIR-MA Executive Director Tahira Amatul-Wadud. “We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community and all residents of Taunton against antisemitism and other forms of hate.”
She said CAIR-MA and the American Muslim community stand in solidarity with all those challenging antisemitism, systemic anti-Black racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, white supremacy, and all other forms of bigotry.
