Swastikas Were Drawn on Dr. Gabriel’s Office on 4th Avenue in Bay Ridge
Someone drew two swastikas on Dr. Gabriel’s Office that were seen on Sunday.
The one on the door was removed and a swastika on the ground was covered with a heart.
Strangely, it took Councilman Brannan and Senator Gounardes until Monday afternoon to speak out against the antisemitism and share the information with the public.
Senator Gounardes shared photos of himself walking in the St. Patrick’s Day parade on Monday morning. Then several hours later (after 2:00 pm) shared the information about the hate. See:
The politicians issued a dual message. Why is only one politician writing a message and not two? This isn’t a time to make a graphic with a politician’s name. Each politician should have written a message against the hate on Sunday.
Congress Representative Nicole Malliotakis was informed about the swastika on Monday. (Why didn’t the male politicians tell her and the Assembly representatives, so all who represent the area could speak out?)
Malliotakis issued a message against the hate and shared the photos with the community. See:
Strangely, Brannan and Gounardes’ message came after Malliotakis’. If she hadn’t written anything, would they have shared it?
In other instances of hate in Brooklyn, the news has reported right away, but I only found one story on Monday night:
