Police don't view Holocaust Center for Humanity in Seattle vandalism as a hate crime. An original statement claimed Israel commits genocide.
The Seattle Police Department’s anti-bias detective claims vandalism targeting the Holocaust Center for Humanity is not a hate crime. The claim was made in a statement that indicated the SPD believes Israel is committing genocide.
“SPD did not intend to claim the Israeli government is committing genocide in the released statement and, instead, wanted to share that the suspect in the case had this viewpoint,” a spokesperson said in an email to “The Jason Rantz Show” on KTTH. “We realize the statement could be misinterpreted and wanted to make this clarification. The department is focused on protecting and serving everyone in our community.
Anyone with even a casual understanding of the issue would not have written or greenlit this statement, especially during a global surge in antisemitism. Was it an attempt to get the anti-police progressive activists to reconsider their loathing of SPD? That the statement was distributed to the media, and then the public, suggests an incredible amount of ignorance or a bias that, ironically, allowed an anti-bias detective to pretend this wasn’t a hate crime.
That the tagging didn’t lead to substantial damage doesn’t mean damage did not occur. It certainly doesn’t mean a message was intended to be sent. And while the claim is that the anti-bias detective investigated it “to the fullest extent,” there doesn’t appear to be a suspect identified.
