<p style="text-align: justify;">About 100 headstones at a Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia have been knocked over, police said on Sunday, in the latest apparent vandalism incident at a Jewish burial ground in the United States.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A Mount Carmel Cemetery visitor called police on Sunday morning to say the gravestones of three of his relatives had been toppled, police said in a statement. Officers found about 100 others knocked down. The incident apparently took place after dark on Saturday, police said.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">ABC television affiliate WPVI said the damage was widespread and footage showed rows of headstones knocked down.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;I&#8217;m hoping it was maybe just some drunk kids. But the fact that there&#8217;s so many, it leads one to think it could have been targeted,&#8221; cemetery visitor Andrew Mallin, who had come to see his father&#8217;s grave, told the station.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Anti-Defamation League, a watchdog group that monitors hate groups, is offering a $10,000 reward in the case, supported by the Mizel Family Foundation, police said.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon said on Twitter: &#8220;#Philadelphia Jewish cemetery desecration is shocking and a source of worry. Full confidence #US authorities catch and punish culprits.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The apparent vandalism came about a week after about 170 headstones were damaged at a Jewish cemetery in St. Louis. Jewish community centers across the United States have also reported a surge in bomb threats, but all were hoaxes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Muslim Americans have helped raise about $131,000 to repair the St. Louis cemetery, far exceeding organizers&#8217; $20,000 goal, according to their LaunchGood website.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some Jewish groups have described the vandalism and threats as the latest evidence that Donald<span class="highlight"> Trump</span>&#8216;s election as U.S. president had emboldened anti-Semitic groups. His campaign last year drew the support of white nationalists and right-wing groups, despite his disavowals of them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="highlight">Trump </span>delivered his first public condemnation of anti-Semitic incidents on Tuesday. The threats are &#8220;horrible and are painful and a very sad reminder of the work that still must be done to root out hate and prejudice and evil,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some Jewish organizations have criticized his approach. The Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect in New York called his comments &#8220;a Band-Aid on the cancer of anti-Semitism that has infected his own administration.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Jewish groups had also criticized the White House for omitting any mention of Jews in its statement marking Holocaust Memorial Day last month.</p>
