Montgomery County Council’s Statement Condemning Recent Incidents of Antisemitic Graffiti

By Patrick Herron

Published November 14, 2022 at 4:10PM

The Council stands in strong solidarity with our Jewish community and condemns all acts of hate and religious bigotry. There is no tolerance in Montgomery County for these hateful actions and abhorrent, violent imagery attacking the Jewish community. Earlier this month, the Council unanimously passed a resolution reaffirming our commitment to address antisemitism and protect our Jewish community from these awful acts of hate.

“These hateful acts are not only a desecration of public spaces but hurtful and damaging to the entire Montgomery County community. The Council extends its deepest gratitude to the Montgomery County Police Department (MCPD) for actively investigating these antisemitic acts and thanks the Department of Transportation for a swift response and clean-up.

Published November 14, 2022 at 3:49PM

Per the Gaithersburg PD: The Gaithersburg Police Department has recently received complaints about a phone scam in which the caller identifies themselves as an officer(s) with the Gaithersburg Police Department. During the calls, the scammer tells the victim that they have a warrant for their arrest and to avoid arrest, they should make payment using a gift card.

We would like to remind our community that this is a PHONE SCAM and that you should never give any personal information to the caller. In addition, the Gaithersburg Police Department does not call residents regarding arrest warrants and will never ask for payments to avoid an arrest. If you receive one of these scam phone calls, hang up immediately!

“To reach this point, we have had to overcome countless legal, political, and bureaucratic delays that threatened to push back the launch past the Super Bowl next year.

According to MCPD, “The graffiti was reported at 6:30 this morning at the Bethesda Trolley Trail. MCPD is investigating, but at this time there are no suspects or descriptions. We are asking residents to check ring cameras or other home surveillance video. More information will be released when it’s available.” Feature photo courtesy of Laura Rosenberg Hosid.

County Executive Marc Elrich released the following statement: “For the second time in just over three months, the Bethesda Trolley Trail has been tagged with antisemitic graffiti in the Wildwood neighborhood. Montgomery County response teams are working to remove these hateful images as quickly as possible. I visited this site after the first incident in August and it deeply saddened me to see this. My Chief Administrative Officer, Rich Madaleno, visited this morning and was also appalled. To see this happen again just a few months later is truly upsetting. Additionally, we also learned of a second location, at Old Georgetown Road and Tuckerman Lane, where more antisemitic graffiti was tagged on a brick wall.
