Antisemitic graffiti was discovered on the offices of the Jewish Federation of Detroit on Monday, coinciding with the community’s commemoration of the anniversary of the October 7 Hamas massacre.
Photos shared on social media showed the slogans “Intifada,” “F*** Israel,” and “Free Palestine” spray-painted on the office’s glass windows, along with inverted red triangles, which are often used to symbolize the terrorist group, Hamas.
In response, the Federation issued a statement expressing that they were “deeply disturbed and saddened” to have been targeted, especially on such a significant day of remembrance. “This attack was not only an assault on our physical space but also on the heart of our community,” the statement read.
The Federation further emphasized that the incident serves as a stark reminder of “the rising tide of hate affecting Jewish people.”
