Rep. Dan Goldman's NYC Office Vandalized with Pro-Palestinian Graffiti

The incident, condemned by Goldman's communications director and New York's democratic congressional delegation, occurs amid rising violence and antisemitism.

  • Rep. Dan Goldman's district office in New York City was vandalized with pro-Palestinian graffiti, including phrases such as 'Blood on ur hands', 'Free Palestine', and 'Let Gaza live'.
  • New York City Police Department officers were already on the scene when a Goldman staffer arrived at the office, and security footage showed at least two people defacing the building.
  • Goldman's communications director, Simone Kanter, condemned the incident, stating that harassing and attacking the staff of a Jewish elected official at a time of rising violence and rampant antisemitism is dangerous and unacceptable.
  • New York's democratic congressional delegation, including several representatives, condemned the incident in a joint statement, emphasizing that peaceful protest should not extend to intimidating staff or outright criminal behavior.
  • The incident comes in the wake of heightened tensions following the recent conflict in the Middle East, where Goldman was visiting with his family when Hamas launched an attack on Israel.
