A graffiti removal taskforce says antisemitic graffiti has gotten out of control in Park Slope and the surrounding neighborhoods.

In response, they have taken it upon themselves to build a task force.

Stella Belenkaya tells us she has seen graffiti all over the borough, including swastikas and an inverted red triangle.

Members of the Park Slope Graffiti Watch Group have banded together since October 7th, where they say incidents of antisemitic hate has increased.

Mark Treyger, CEO of Jewish Community Relations Council of New York says, "reported hate crimes in New York City still continue to show that the Jewish people are the number one target of hate across New York."

With this, some Jewish Brooklynites in Councilwoman Shahana Hanif's district tell News 12 that they feel that they must take it upon themselves to remove graffiti.

Last March, Hanif made comments in a meeting where she said she is "okay with the free Palestine" in graffiti.

When asked about this comment, Hanif told News 12 those words were “emotionally charged" and she wants to reassure her Jewish constituents that she is fully committed to protecting them and condemning Jewish hate.

"I condemn all graffiti on property that is motivated towards a particular group," she shared on Thursday with News 12.
