Home of Brooklyn Museum’s Jewish Director Targeted By Pro-Hamas “Cowards”

By FrumNews.com

Brooklyn, NY — A pro-Hamas mob targeted the homes of Brooklyn Museum’s Jewish director, Anne Pasternak, and some Jewish board members, with horrific red paint-smeared doors and hateful speech, leading to an uproar and obvious correlations between the Wednesday attack and Kristallnacht.

“The cowards who did this are way over the line into anti-Semitism, harming the cause they claim to care about, and making everyone less safe,” NYC Comptroller Brad Lander lambasted the protesters on Twitter.

Surveillance video shows five people wearing masks and in head-to-toe black defacing the courtyard and hoisting a banner with her name and an anti-Semitic message. On the ground, graffiti read “Blood on Your Hands.”

Make no mistake, the Brooklyn Museum president was targeted because she is Jewish, as we saw in Nazi Germany in the 1930s. It doesn’t matter that she is a liberal darling and the head of a popular liberal museum, they targeted her because she is Jewish.

About a mile away, the family home of another Brooklyn Museum executive was also vandalized.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams condemned the attacks, “This is not peaceful protest or free speech. This is a crime, and it’s overt, unacceptable antisemitism. These actions will never be tolerated in New York City for any reason. I’m sorry to Anne Pasternak and members of Brooklyn Museum’s board who woke up to hatred like this.”

The NYPD said it is investigating multiple incidents. The pattern hasn’t been limited to any particular borough, they say.

Senior police sources told NBC News they’re looking for about 15 people. The group was last seen at East 65th Street and Park Avenue in a white U-Haul truck, where police said the suspects splattered red paint over two other homes linked to Jewish board members, bringing the total number of homes hit to four.

The anti-Semitic attacks come as pro-Hamas protesters targeted many public liberal museums this week across New York City, including the Brooklyn Museum (which was targeted by the pro-Hamas mob before), Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), the American Museum of Natural History, The Met, Queens Museum, and Whitney Museum.

The mobs also targeted the Nova Exhibition, which tells the story of the Hostages taken from the Nova Music Festival.
