Authorities are investigating reports of vandals targeting the homes of the Brooklyn Museum's Jewish director and some board members after NYC Comptroller Brad Lander posted photos of red paint-smeared doors and hateful speech.

"The cowards who did this are way over the line into antisemitism, harming the cause they claim to care about, and making everyone less safe," Lander said in a post on X Wednesday.

Antisemitism and threats of violence are a feature of this movement at this point.

1. Their cause is hating Jews

2. Putin and his trolls are behind some of this motivation

Biden is doing all he can to reign in the ogre over there and bring some kind of a settlement. This stuff is total vile inexcusable sh6t. Plus, I'm sure it's all on security camera. Hopefully, they'll be brought to justice.

3. RightWing groups should also be suspect based on their covert crimes during Floyd protests.

5. The leader of NYC's pro-Palestinian protests is not a Republican.

Nerdeen Kiswani wears a button with the face of the Hamas leader. She is outspokenly antisemitic and pro-Hamas. Believe her.

6. The point is to be aware of RightWing opportunism during protests

generally associated with left. They found ways to exploit Floyd, and I’ve no doubt they are targeting Jews while all scrutiny is on the pro-Palestinian protests. I remember it was during Floyd protests when RightWingers were looking to work directly with Hamas.
