Queens, NY – Swastikas were found on newspaper boxes distributing Jewish publications in New York City on Wednesday night, as the solemn Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur drew to a close.
The antisemitic graffiti was found in Kew Garden Hills, an area of Queens with a large Jewish population.
Daniel Rosenthal, who represents the area in the state assembly, posted pictures online showing swastikas on boxes for the Jewish newspapers The Queens Jewish Link, The Bukharian Jewish Link and The 5 Towns Jewish Times.
“We must be able to feel safe in our neighborhoods. We must do more. The continued rise of antisemitism is unsustainable and unacceptable,” Rosenthal said.
