Nearly 180 gravestones at two Jewish cemeteries in Cincinnati have been vandalized, according to the Jewish Cemeteries of Greater Cincinnati and the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati.

Many of the gravestones – some dating back to the late 1800s – have been knocked face-down, with some cracked in half, at the Tifereth Israel and the Beth Hamedrash Hagadol cemeteries in the Covedale Cemetery complex.

Why is Epstein's still up?
Do they know something?

At a guess... these people felt that their hatred of Jews in general outweighed their hatred for Jews who were also pedophiles.

I believe they were making a crass joke about the photo in which Miriam Epstein's grave marker is standing.

Those 176 must have been "Zionists", obviously.

They might have been... but that meant a pretty different thing back when the people's whose graves they desecrated died in the fucking 19th century.
