LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON ANTISEMITIC GRAFFITI IN GRAVESEND PARK

Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement:

I am appalled that the Jewish community in Brooklyn is once again the target of antisemitic vandalism. It is an affront to the values that New York stands for and has no place in our City. We can never allow Nazi symbols and the horrific and deadly ideology they represent to be normalized.

Families should be able to go to parks, schools and synagogues in their communities without fear of vile antisemitic actions. The perpetrators of this hate crime must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law, and I thank the NYPD for their swift and thorough investigation.
