The office of Rep. Dan Goldman was vandalized with hateful anti-Israel graffiti on Friday morning.
Staff arrived to the office at 9th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues in Park Slope before 9:00 AM. They saw graffiti with the words “Free Palestine,” “Let Gaza Live,” and “Blood on Ur Hands” all over the office walls and the floor. Police confirmed that four other offices on the same block were also targeted.
Rep. Goldman is outwardly pro-Israel and joined in the D.C. rally last week. Following the inspiring rally he Tweeted, “I marched alongside over 100,000 Americans in solidarity with the Israeli people to demand the immediate release of all remaining hostages in Gaza and call for ending antisemitism worldwide. We need to bring our brothers and sisters home. Never Again must mean now.”

He was also one of the 22 Democrats to join Republicans in the House vote to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a hater of Jews and Israel, who promoted the slogan “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,”. She later tried to explain it didn’t actually mean genocide, but her words were quite clear.
Earlier this past week a Palestinian organization provided a list of pro-Israel offices and businesses, along with their addresses in an attempt to harass and intimidate supporters.
Elizabeth Naftali lost her niece and nephew on Oct 7, and her 3yo niece remains a Hamas hostage.
Yet @RepJamesComer is so desperate to dig up evidence to support his sham impeachment inquiry that he targeted a grieving Ms. Naftali with a subpoena about buying art.
Shameful. pic.twitter.com/e50rlFEukV

Defacing a Jewish member of Congress’ office with words like “blood on your hands,” due to what’s happening on the other end of the world, is not a peaceful form of protest.
This is the height of antisemitism. pic.twitter.com/b7SdLMNiUk

This abuse can’t be the new normal. Elected officials of good conscience MUST condemn the vitriol directed towards @RepDanGoldman simply because he supports Israel and wants to free innocent civilian hostages. pic.twitter.com/LAWHerJDFp
