Prominent NYC synagogue vandalized with anti-Israel graffiti, stickers: NYPD

A prominent Park Slope synagogue was vandalized with anti-Israel graffiti and stickers in an apparent hate-moti🅺vated act ea💙rly Friday, cops said. 

A witness spotted “Jews for Palestinian resist🥀ance” spray-painted on the sidewalk in front of Congregation Beth Elohim on Garfield Place near Eighth Aven🃏ue in the leafy Brooklyn neighborhood around 6:45 a.m. and called 911, police said. 

Two anti-Israel stickers were als🐓o affixed to the door of the house of worship, copsꦺ said. The exact message on the stickers was not immediately known. 

The😼 NYPD’s Hateඣ Crime Task Force was notified and is investigating, police said.

The disturbing act comes about thre𒆙e weeks after Hamas’ unprecedented deadly attack inside Israel.

Since then, the Big Apple has seen a spike in hate crimes, with near𓆉ly 60% of the heinous acts targeting the Jewish community, an NYPD official said earlier this week. 

Among those crimes𝄹 are other recent acts of vandalism, c𒁏ops said. 

Last week, the iconic Jewish-owned 2nd Avenue Deli on the Upper East Side of Manhattan was defaced with a swastika

Similar sickening vandalism was later found across the street. 

A hateful vandal also scrawled the abhorrent message, “Kill the Jews” on the wall of the 34th Street-Herald Square subway st൩ation in Manhattan last week, authorities said.
