Skokie Police are investigating a hate crime of pro-Israel yard signs being ripped out and destroyed in a residential neighborhood near Church Street and Kostner Avenue.
After the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel that has subsequently erupted into the Israel-Hamas war, some Skokie residents put up yard signs affirming support for Israel. Last week, Skokie Police said some of those signs were targeted and destroyed, which they determined to be a hate crime. Skokie police said 10 locations near Church Street and Kostner Avenue had signs that said “We Stand with Israel,” with images of both the U.S. and Israeli flags, destroyed in the early morning of Nov. 3.
He also pointed out that because of the way that they were destroyed, he believed that a box cutter was used. Sassieni said he didn’t have a yard sign himself, but he had a mezuzah, a religious object nailed to the front post of his yard, vandalized. He said it’s possible that the two incidents were unrelated, and he doesn’t have proof that the same people who ripped the signs also destroyed his mezuzah. Regardless, he said the act was antisemitic.
