Swastikas deface Jewish newspapers in New York on Yom Kippur
Luke Tress is The Times of Israel's New York correspondent.
Swastikas are found on newspaper boxes distributing Jewish publications in New York City.
The antisemitic graffiti turned up last night, at the end of Yom Kippur, in a Jewish area of Queens.
A photo posted by local politician Daniel Rosenthal shows 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 says.
On the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, newspapers racks distributing Jewish publications were vandalized with swastikas.
