New York State Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkumar has condemned the antisemitic graffiti discovered in Woodhaven, stating, “There is no place for antisemitism in my hometown of Woodhaven or anywhere in New York.”
In a statement, Rajkumar said Nazi hate symbols were spray-painted along the Orange Trail in Forest Park on the night of May 10.
“This vile act of antisemitism seeks to intimidate our Jewish community and spread hate and fear. Our community will not tolerate it,” she said. Rajkumar added that she spoke directly with the 102nd Precinct and commended its swift coordination with the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force to investigate the incident and identify those responsible.
She also praised the New York City Parks Department for its prompt response in removing the graffiti.
“I also commend the Parks Department for acting quickly to remove these hateful markings and restore the space for my constituents who use this trail every day,” she added. “We will not allow hatred to take root in our community. We will confront antisemitism with moral clarity, hold those responsible fully accountable, and stand united against every form of hate. Love will always win over hate in New York.”
