‘Jewish students deserve to feel safe – email Superintendent Wesley Smith: superintendent@nmusd.us and demand a criminal investigation take place,’ the caption continued.

The anti-Semitic graphics come just a week after the Palestinian terror group Hamas invaded Israel and sparked the start of a violent war.
The Israel-Palestine conflict is one of the longest-running in history, with tensions simmering for decades and intermittently escalating into armed clashes which have seen thousands of people killed on both sides.
Anti-hate crimes have continued to play out across the US and then entire globe as a six-year-old Muslim boy and his mother were recently stabbed by their landlord in Illinois.
The boy was stabbed 26 times and died, as a funeral was held for him on Monday while the landlord appeared in court on murder charges and was denied bail.
People on both sides of the war have suffered immense loss, with more than 1,400 Israelis killed, and an estimated 2,750 Palestinians killed.
Iran has now warned it could be forced to take ‘pre-emptive action’ against Israel in the ‘coming hours’ as the Jewish nation prepares for a ground offensive on the Gaza strip.
The United States has also told 2,000 troops to be prepared to deploy to the war-torn corner of the world and moved a second aircraft carrier to the eastern Mediterranean.
