Police are investigating anti-Israel graffiti at Sunset Bronson Studios in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

Red graffiti reading “Zionist,” alongside a Star of David, was discovered on a studio sign at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Bronson Avenue. A second nearby sign at Sunset Boulevard and Van Ness Avenue was similarly defaced, according to local news station KTLA.

The incident was reported early Sunday morning. The Los Angeles Police Department was “not able to provide any information on a possible suspect,” according to the outlet.

Sunset Bronson Studios, formerly the Old Warner Brothers Studio, is owned by Hudson Pacific Properties. It houses sound stages and production offices used by Netflix, as well as KTLA’s facilities. The property is designated as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.

Abdulkadir Al-Jelani, 58, is due in court on July 1 and faces charges of making the threats and three counts of assault with a weapon.
The designations include Hezbollah-linked institutions that “threaten regional stability, international security, mutual interests and global trade,” the U.S. Treasury Department stated.
Gerard Filitti, of the Lawfare Project, told JNS that “lax immigration policy” has always been the main driver of importing “terrorist ideology” into the United States.
“The teachers we have, we don’t respect and support in the way that they deserve,” Paul Bernstein told JNS. “If we’re successful and we grow enrollment, that problem only gets bigger.”
“The message being sent is that you can get away with attacking someone in broad daylight because you disagree with their opinions, especially if it involves feelings about Israel,” Joshua Burt, of the Anti-Defamation League, told JNS.
“Not identifying Hamas as a terrorist organization is, I think, a failure, Marc Miller told the Canadian Press. “And not clearly stating that, for example, Hamas intended to kill Jews is, I think, an unfortunate error in curation and should be rectified.”
