It was painful sight in Geneva on erev Shabbos when shul members arrived at the building and saw the Nazi graffiti.
Israel’s Channel 2 News reported that the anti-Semitic attack involved the shul as well as a local Holocaust memorial. Geneva Chief Rabbi Dr. Yitzchak Dayan was quoted as condemning the attack, citing it came immediately after they marked Independence Day in a local event at the Israeli Embassy.
The chief rabbi added that the painting of swastikas on the largest Sephardic Shul in the city was an outrage that truly shook up the local community, especially since the incident was timed between Holocaust Remembrance Day and Independence Day in Israel.
Local police are investigating.

Switzerland never was a neutral country. They were very well dispositioned towards the nazis.
& a few years ago, when a Rosh Yeshiva from Eretz Yisroel was in Zurich raising funds, he was assassinated, and the Swiss police, have never apprehended someone for that horrifying curtailing of a life.
So please don’t expect to see much action neither from the swiss government nor from the swiss police.
