Ilana Glazer Event at Synagogue Is Canceled After Anti-Semitic Graffiti Is Found
Source: NY Times
A get-out-the-vote event at a Brooklyn synagogue featuring the comedian Ilana Glazer was canceled on Thursday night after anti-Semitic graffiti, including the words Die Jew Rats, was discovered scrawled on the temples walls, the police and officials at the synagogue said.
The vandalism, which is being investigated as a hate crime by the Police Department, jarred residents in a deeply progressive area of Brooklyn. It occurred on the heels of the mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue last week and a recent spate of similar incidents in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
On Friday afternoon, the police released a photograph of a suspect, taken by a security camera inside the temple.
The event, at the Union Temple of Brooklyn on Eastern Parkway in Prospect Heights, was to include a question-and-answer session. Ms. Glazer, the star of Broad City, was scheduled to interview a journalist, Amy Goodman, and two candidates for the New York State Senate, Jim Gaughran and Andrew Gounardes.

But this perp is a black guy of Puerto Rican origin, gay, and a fellow Democrat who hates Jewish people because his foster family was Jewish and he resented them.
Do a little diligence before making us look silly, please.
Or just hang out a bit and, you know, collect facts.
