Earlier this month, anti-Semitic and anti-Israel graffiti was spotted on the premises of the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum in Jerusalem. On Tuesday, three Chareidi, ultra-Orthodox men were arrested on charges they committed the vandalistic act, and they have similarly admitted to doing so, according to breaking reports.

The three men—aged 18, 26, and 27—are reportedly residents of Jerusalem and Bnei Brak and members of the radical Neturai Karta group, according to JTA. Police also suspect the men may have been responsible for similar acts of vandalism at Ammunition Hill on Memorial Day and on memorials in the Jordan Valley.

The scrawling of the fanatical perpetrators included the following lines: “Hitler, thank you for the Holocaust”; “If Hitler did not exist, the Zionists would have invented him”; and “The war of the Zionist regime is not the war of the Jewish people.”

Avner Shalev, chairman of the Yad Vashem museum, commended the police for apprehending the criminals.

“I believe that it was important to know the identities of those who spray-painted the graffiti. The suspects are extremist ultra-Orthodox Jews, anti-Zionists, who are on the fringes of society, and do not represent the majority who respect the memory of the Holocaust,” Shalev said, JTA reported. “Numerous reactions that we received from Israel and around the world, expressing condemnation and repugnance of the graffiti testify that this warped action offended many, and I hope that the court will mete out justice to the criminals.”

Neturei Karta members repudiate Israel and Zionism, and claim the Jewish state can only be resurrected with the arrival of the Messiah.
