PITTSBURGH — The Squirrel Hill community woke up Thursday morning, the day before the city was set to mark the fifth anniversary of the violent rampage at the Tree of Life synagogue in which 11 congregants were shot to death, to pro-Palestine graffiti scrawled across the front of Allderdice High School in the predominantly Jewish neighborhood.MAINE SHOOTING: GOV.
Rich Fitzgerald, who has lived in Squirrel Hill for more than 40 years, including several years living directly across the street from Allderdice, said this kind of intimidation on a school perceived to have a substantial amount of Jewish students, in a Jewish neighborhood, is abhorrent. Sen. Bob Casey , a Scranton Democrat, said in a response to this reporting that he called the principal of Allderdice and the rabbi from the Tree of Life over the incident.
David McCormick, the Republican businessman seeking the office held by Casey, also condemned it, saying, “This is an affront to the Pittsburgh Jewish community, which has already gone through too much. I am proud to stand with Israel and against this type of antisemitic hate.”
