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 temple’s 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.

MAGA idiots are disgusting.

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.

If graffiti is all it takes to make us back down, we'll soon be cowering in our homes. Jews have been through too much to be so easily intimidates.
