Anti-Semitic graffiti at former Anglo headquarters

The half-finished, former headquarters of the Anglo Irish Bank has been defaced with anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic graffiti.

Gardaí and the Central Bank, which last year bought the eight-storey shell in the Dublin docklands, have launched separate probes into the vandalism, which happened overnight.

Several messages — including “Zionist engineered global financial holocaust”, “Jewish supremacist destruction of indigenous Europeans”, “Zionist global financial terrorism” and “Jewish financial terrorism” — have been scrawled in large red letters in the skeleton-like building.
