Jihadists, Islamic apologists, and their leftist allies all love to traffic in intimidation. It’s one of their most prized and oft-used weapons.
“Outcry as vandalism targets homes of Jewish Brooklyn Museum officials,” Times of Israel, June 12, 2024:
NEW YORK — Apparent pro-Palestinian protesters hurled red paint at the homes of US Jewish officials with the Brooklyn Museum and also splashed paint across the front of diplomatic buildings for Germany and the Palestinian Authority early Wednesday, prompting a police investigation and condemnation from city authorities.
Mayor Eric Adams, in a post on the social platform X, shared images of a brick building splashed with red paint with a banner hung in front of the door that called the museum’s director, Anne Pasternak, a “white-supremacist Zionist.”
“This is not peaceful protest or free speech. This is a crime, and it’s overt, unacceptable antisemitism,” Adams wrote, sending sympathy to Pasternak and other museum board members whose homes were defaced. “These actions will never be tolerated in New York City for any reason.”
Museum spokesperson Taylor Maatman said four officials were targeted. Not all are Jewish, but all have Jewish family members, she said. A report was filed with police.
“Earlier today, the homes of people connected to the Brooklyn Museum were vandalized in an attempt to threaten and intimidate them,” Maatman said in a statement. “For two centuries, the Brooklyn Museum has worked to foster mutual understanding through art and culture, and we have always supported peaceful protest and open, respectful dialogue. Violence, vandalism, and intimidation have no place in that discourse.”
Red paint was also splashed across the front of a Manhattan building that houses Germany’s consulate and the United Nations mission, and another building that is a headquarters for Palestinian diplomats. Flyers critical of the Palestinian Authority and its president, Mahmoud Abbas, were scattered outside the building.
It wasn’t immediately clear who was responsible or whether the acts of vandalism were all related….

With so much on camera, they should be able to pick up the perps…a.k.a. terrorists….and jail them for trial.

Notice the inverted red triangles, to identify the location as the residence of Jewish targets for attack. Is this country ever going to get serious about cracking down on these Islamists and their Marxist buddies? Does someone have to die first before the Dems and this administration finally go after them? Shameful.

A few people have already died, such as that elderly Jewish guy in California who died after an altercation with an anti-Israel Muslim professor.
Many people have been badly injured as well, such as a number of Jewish students, who have been attacked simply for being Jewish, regardless of their personal views on the Israel/Gaza conflict.

Memo to the Leftists and Islamists: the vast majority of Zionists (whether Jewish or non-Jewish) are NOT white supremacists!
I am not Jewish, but I support Israel’s right to exist. Moreover, I am not a racist nor a white supremacist.
In Israel, slightly more than half of Israelis are Mizrahi Jews, who have Middle Eastern or North African origins. There are also plenty of Sephardic (Southern European) Jews, and Falashas (Black Ethiopian Jews).
Only about 30 percent of Israeli Jews are white Ashkenazi Jews. Plus, even many of the Ashkenazi Jews have some Middle Eastern ancestry.
One may also note that lots of the Palestinian Arabs have origins from outside Palestine. For example, Yasser Arafat was an Egyptian, and many Palestinians have surnames such as al-Misri (Egyptian), al-Maghrebi (Morocco, Algeria or Tunisia), al-Chalabi (Syrian), al-Baghdadi (Iraqi) and so on.
There are even white Palestinians who are Bosnian-Palestinians, as someone on here has pointed out.

Mike, you can reason with those people until the cows come home and fall asleep and the people will not learn a blooming thing. They just take it as weakness that we try to explain such things.

I am sure the FBI is not going to look into it or any other federal agency .HLS could careless and Biden sees them as a block vote nothing to see here just everyday vandals doing their thing., The price to pay if you live in a “modern” city as “modern” cities revert back to dark age shitholes in the west thanks to Moslem immigration flooding the cities with jihadist. The same stuff in London , Berlin ,NYC , LA ,Paris ,what is the common thread we can not hear about in the MSM??Why was anti-Semitic behavior almost dead in most modern cities in the west from 1950 -1990 ??? Was it the lack of Moslems living there??If the perps are caught I am sure they will not be “Maga” republican’s ,either Moslems or useful idiots who side with Moslems .Whoever did it it will be a foot note in the MSM if or when they are caught with MSM calling them mental ill or not true followers of Islam .So now a Jewish women who in charge of a museum in very” progressive” solid blue boro of a very blue city is a “white supremist” because she is Jewish .The only reason she is targeted is because she is Jewish ,how ironic .From the article I do not think she has made any statements about what happen in Gaza or Israel in the last year.

They have no idea what Zionism is (the claim that the Jewish people have a right to a national home and the natural right is in their historical homeland) and so they invented it as “white supremacy” even though if you walk around Israel you will see many more brown and black Israelis than white Israelis. The Nazis who made “white supremacy” a legal thing defined the Jews (the “whites” in Germany were not “brown/black” Jews) as a “sub-race”. How can Jews be both racists of “white supremacy” and “sub-race” at the same time?! How much will the stupidity and ignorance of the left go crazy and poison the minds of the young??
