Anti-Semitism is apparently alive and well in parts of the Commonwealth.

The Brockton Enterprise News reports that a family in Lakeville was harassed repeatedly over a period of years after they purchased property on Long Pond in 2005 and began working on an island, nearby.

According to the newspaper, the dispute was over who had the right to a path leading to a small beach area; the local homeowners association earlier sued to gain access.

"A swastika was painted on a garage, association members secretly took photos of the families and their young children, and repeatedly filed unfounded complaints with police on the two families," according to India L. Minchoff, lawyer for Scott J Hyman.
