Antisemitic graffiti that
was scrawled across the front
window of a Forest Hills dental
office on Saturday, Feb. 12,
has been removed by police
officers from the NYPD 112th
Precinct, according to Councilwoman
Lynn Schulman’s
office.
The window of the dental
clinic at 68-55 Harrow St. was
vandalized with hate-filled
words that said “F*** Jews” in
black marker.
The antisemitic graffiti
was found by a local rabbi after
Shabbat on Saturday night,
according to Schulman.
The councilwoman tweeted
a photo of the vandalized window
saying, “There is no place
for this disgusting antisemitic
vandalism anywhere.”
Schulman reported the
incident to the NYPD 112th
Precinct and the NYPD Hate
Crimes Task Force, which are
investigating the incident.
Queens Borough President
Donovan Richards took to
Twitter saying, “There are no
words to accurately describe
how hideous and vile this is.
Hate cannot be accepted anywhere,
but especially not in
the World’s Borough.”
Richards added, “If you
spew antisemitism or hate
in our borough, you will be
caught. You will be prosecuted.
You will never win.”
State Assemblyman Andrew
Hevesi, Congresswoman
Grace Meng and Senator Joseph
Addabbo issued a joint
statement thanking the NYPD
112th Precinct for their quick
response in regards to the
matter.
“The antisemitic graffiti

found on Saturday night has
no place in Queens or anywhere
in our society. We will
not tolerate this hate. Our offices
have been in contact with
the 112th Precinct and the
NYPD Hate Crimes Unit. We
stand united with our Jewish
community,” the lawmakers
said.
Mayor Eric Adams encouraged
anyone with information
regarding the incident to
reach out to the NYPD Hate
Crimes Unit.
“This would be disgusting
anytime but it’s especially outrageous
as we come to the end
of Shabbos. We won’t let this
vicious hatred go unanswered
in our city,” Adams tweeted.
