  • What the media keeps doesn't want u to know & keeps hiding.

    That’s these vandals are uber liberal progressive atheists that hate Jews that believe in g-d,

    But the media always will try to spin it that it’s some white supremacist.

    The criminal act of one who hates does not deter chabad from continuing all their projects
    Chabad counters hatred with love
    Kol hakovod to the dedicated shluchim Rabbi Dovid and Goldi Tiechtel
