The homes of Brooklyn Museum director Anne Pasternak and several Jewish board members were vandalized with antisemitic graffiti in a series of targeted attacks.
The vandalism, which included red paint and inverted red triangles, has been widely condemned by local officials, including Mayor Eric Adams, as acts of vile anti-Semitism. The incidents appear to be protests against the museum's perceived ties to Israel, sparking a broader conversation about the intersection of free speech, protest, and hate crimes.
Authorities are investigating the vandalism, which has heightened concerns about antisemitism in the community.

It's deeply troubling to see such blatant acts of antisemitism directed at individuals associated with the Brooklyn Museum, simply due to their heritage or perceived political beliefs. These cowardly attacks serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle against hate and bigotry that the Jewish community faces, even in seemingly progressive cities. We must stand united in condemning these acts, reinforcing our support for Israel, and ensuring that expressions of protest never cross the line into hate or violence.
