Police nab a teen in two of the Nothern Jersey synagogue attacks:

Police arrested a Lodi teen in the firebombing of a Rutherford synagogue and an arson at a Paramus temple, Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli announced Tuesday.

Anthony M. Graziano, 19, was charged with nine counts of attempted murder and one count each of bias intimidation and aggravated arson in connection with the Rutherford incident. He was also charged with aggravated arson, arson and bias intimidation in the Paramus incident, Molinelli said.

As I wrote last week, if in our fear of anti-Semitism we ignore all the “signs of Jewish acceptance and privilege, we end up handing tremendous power to a malicious teen with a spray can” — or in this case, a book of matches.
