Several synagogues and residences in Queens, New York City, were vandalized overnight with swastikas and antisemitic graffiti, prompting outrage from local officials. City Council Speaker Julie Menin reported the incidents on social media, highlighting the emotional impact on the community. Menin, along with fellow council members Lynn Schulman and Phil Wong, visited Congregation Machane Chodosh, one of the affected sites, expressing solidarity with the Jewish community. Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned the vandalism as a deliberate act of hatred, asserting that there is no place for antisemitism in the city. The New York Police Department (NYPD) is actively investigating the incidents and seeking at least four individuals linked to the graffiti. This wave of vandalism follows a previous incident in January, where two teenagers were arrested for similar acts in Brooklyn. The community is now grappling with the fear and anxiety these acts of hate have instilled.
