Vandals spray-paint Jewish school buses with antisemitic, anti-Zionist graffiti in Williamsburg, NY

Four Jewish school buses were spray-painted with antisemitic and anti-Zionist graffiti in Williamsburg, New York, on Monday. The buses, which belonged to the Satmar, Klausenburg hassidic sects, and Tiferes Yisroel, were found covered in slogans such as "F*** Israel," "USA first," and "Free Palestine." Law enforcement agencies, including the NYPD Hate Crime Task Force and Williamsburg Shomrim, are working to identify and apprehend the perpetrators.

Local officials, including NYC Councilman Lincoln Restler and New York State Assemblyman Kalman Yeger, have condemned the incident, with Restler describing the act as "obscene" and Yeger stating that it is part of a "decade-long rise in anti-Semitic incidents." New York Attorney-General Letitia James called the act "despicable" and urged anyone with information to come forward to assist law enforcement.
