The Hate Crimes Task Force of the New York Police Department is investigating several reports of antisemitic vandalism at the homes of Jewish board members of the Brooklyn Museum – including its director, a New York City law enforcement official told CNN Wednesday.
I’m not sure how hosting an art exhibit commemorating the deaths of people murdered by Hamas on October 7th automatically makes the board members Zionists endorsing the persecution of Palestinians. Perhaps there is some context this article doesn’t touch on
Note too that there’s another controversy - regarding the hiring of a white curator for African art - that likely provides the context for the “white supremacist” part of the graffito.
It’s the Brooklyn museum, but yeah I’m not sure if there was one either as I think the exhibit was in Manhattan, not Brooklyn. This is the quality of article I have come to expect from CNN.
