Mexico City’s Agudas Ajim synagogue was damaged and vandalized with anti-Semitic graffiti in response to a public campaign against the UNESCO resolution denying the Jewish connection to Jerusalem. The synagogue’s furniture was smashed and its windows broken in two separate incidents, according to Jewish Telegraphic Agency. Initiated by local Jewish leaders, the campaign which sparked the vandalism urged government officials not to vote in favor of the resolution.

Due to the resolution, Israel has suspended ties with UNESCO, which was passed earlier this month, and was backed by 24 countries, with 26 abstentions and six oppositions. While initially voting in favor of the resolution, Mexico changed its vote to abstention on October 17, and fired its ambassador to UNESCO Andre Roemer for his opposition to the initial vote.

In an official statement, Mexico said Roemer was fired for “not having informed diligently and with meticulousness of the context in which the voting process occurred, for reporting to representatives of countries other than Mexico about the sense of his vote, and for making public documents and official correspondence subject to secrecy.”

Local Jewish security officials said the double vandalism of the Agudas Ajim synagogue was likely perpetrated by an unidentified organized group, JTA reported Wednesday. The building was vandalized with the word “perros” (dogs), and an “A” for anarchy.

In a statement Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would recall Israeli ambassador to UNESCO Carmel Shama-Hacohen due to the controversy.

“The theater of the absurd continues, and I have decided to invite Israel’s ambassador to UNESCO back to Israel for consultations,” Netanyahu said, according to Haaretz. “We will decide what to do and what follow-up measures will face this organization.”
