A group of pro-Palestinian Arab graffiti vandals left their mark on a Brooklyn synagogue Friday morning, The New York Daily News reports.
At about 6:45 a.m., the words “Jews for Palestinian Resistance” were found spray painted on the sidewalk outside of a reform synagogue in Park Slope.
The vandals also slapped two anti-Israel stickers on the doors of the massive corner property, police said.
The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the incident. No arrests have been made, according to The New York Daily News.
Police say that hate crimes against both Jews and Muslims have spiked citywide since Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7.
Cops investigated 51 hate crimes last week, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said on Tuesday. Of the dozens of bias crimes that occurred, 30 were antisemitic. During the same seven-day stretch last year, there were seven such crimes, Kenny said.
