'Hate has no home in Sylvan Park': As neighbors come together...

Sunday's spray painting of five Sylvan Park neighborhood homes with swastikas and hate messages is another antisemitic incident that has put the Jewish Federation of Greater Nashville on edge.

Homes on Westlawn Drive and on Nebraska, Colorado and Idaho Avenues were spray painted with hate messages. The Ring camera at one of targeted homes captured the suspects when they arrived shortly before 1:30 a.m. Sunday, according to police.

Barbara Dab, editor of The Observer for the Jewish Federation of Greater Nashville, said that while none of the homes targeted were owned by Jewish people, Sunday's vandalism is an escalation of recent antisemitic threats.

Dab said unlike recent incidents, where an antisemitic banner was hung from the Chestnut Street Bridge in March and antisemitic flyers were left near homes last August, Sunday's vandalism represents the next step in threatening communities in Nashville.
