Antisemitic graffiti sprayed on home in heavily Jewish neighbourhood in Queens
Antisemitic graffiti was sprayed on a home in a heavily Jewish neighbourhood in Queens in New York City on 16th December.
The antisemitic and misogynistic graffiti was sprayed in black paint across a large area of white fencing that faces a busy road. The owner of the Forest Hills home is not Jewish.
Condemning the incident, Assembly Member Dan Rosenthal said: “This kind of hate isn’t welcome here.” He said that the New York Police Department’s Hate Crimes Task Force was investigating it as a “possible bias incident”.
Noting that Queens was a “diverse borough”, he said that it was “extremely disturbing” that somebody would want to make people feel unwelcome.
