Vandals spray-painted a synagogue in suburban Los Angeles with the words, “Stop Murdering the White Race.” The graffiti included the Internet address of the National alliance, a white supremacy group based in West Virginia. Anti-Semitic leaflets signed by the group have been found in mailboxes in several Los Angeles communities during the past few weeks. Police are investigating the vandalism as a hate crime, but say they are not certain the perpetrators are connected with the National Alliance.
