Anti-Israel vandal dumps red wax, akin to ‘blood,’ on Rep. Goldman’s office

It was the second such attack against the Jewish congressman since Oct. 7.

Surveillance footage captured an act of vandalism on Monday at the office of Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) in the second such incident against the Jewish congressman since the Hamas terrorist attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7.

The images show someone wearing a mask and black hoodie with a skateboard at their feet, spraying a red substance at the legislator’s office building in Brooklyn, N.Y. The individual held a handmade sign with smeared red letters stating “the blood of my family on your f***ing hands.”

Two women also appeared at the scene—one wearing a keffiyeh and the other holding a small cardboard sign with no writing.

Madison Andrus, Goldman’s communications director, said “targeting, harassing and threatening the young staff of a Jewish elected official at a time of record antisemitic violence is incredibly dangerous, deeply troubling and counterproductive.”

The previous incident at the representative’s office exhibited a similar theme with the phrase “blood on ur [sic] hands,” among others written on the sidewalk.

“We salute the families of those who lost loved ones, and we continue to bear witness to their sacrifice,” said the Israeli president.
“The State of Israel will continue to defend the northern communities from within Lebanon, and any attempt to harm our citizens and our forces will be met with force,” Netanyahu and Katz said.
U.K. officials attached to missions in Kiryat Gat and Ramallah were told to halt their operations immediately, an Israeli source told JNS.
CENTCOM confirmed that no American personnel were injured when Tehran launched ballistic missiles at a naval craft in regional waters this week.
