Anti-Israel vandals target ritzy NYC building where New York Times executive editor Joe Kahn lives
NY Post ^ | 8/29/25 | Ariel Zilber

Vandals splattered red paint across the entrance of the ritzy Greenwich Village building where New York Times executive editor Joseph Kahn lives early Friday, in the latest attack by anti-Israel activists enraged over the paper’s coverage of the Israel-Gaza war.

Officers were called to 43 Fifth Ave., near East 11th Street, just before 5 a.m. on Friday, according to cops.

Residents were confronted with red paint covering the steps, walls, sidewalk and lamps outside the entrance, along with graffiti reading, “Joe Kahn Lies, Gaza Dies” scrawled in black marker on the pavement.

No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing, the NYPD told The Post.

Investigators said the incident fits into a pattern of anti-Israel demonstrations targeting Kahn personally and accusing the Times of manufacturing consent for “genocide” in Gaza.

In December, protesters stormed the paper’s Midtown headquarters with similar slogans — smearing red paint at the entrance to the newspaper’s offices.

“People are free to disagree with The New York Times’s reporting but vandalism and targeting of individuals and their families crosses a line and we will work with authorities to address it,” a Times spokesperson said in a statement to The Post.

Kahn lives in one of the city’s most storied co-ops. The building at 43 Fifth Ave., a grand Beaux Arts edifice built in 1905, is considered one of Lower Fifth’s architectural jewels, with a limestone façade, wrought-iron balconies and an ornate marble lobby decorated with Art Nouveau bas reliefs.

It’s like they want their fellow Americans to hate them and we’re not laughing.

Bizarre...

The New York Times reports almost 100% of the anti-Israel propaganda invented by Hamas and International Jew Haters.

I wonder if there is some other reason anti-Israel vandals decided to attack this building?

That editor being Jewish is probably enough.

I think this will strike fear in the hearts of many New Yorkers.

It is one thing to protest in front of businesses and at universities. It is another entirely to vandalize someone's residence.

If people are willing to vandalize an apartment building, someone more emboldened will march right in and kick down an apartment door.

“”If people are willing to vandalize an apartment building, someone more emboldened will march right in and kick down an apartment door.””

And... if the authorities (like under Mamdani) refuse to do anything about it, it’s Nazi Germany jackbooted thugs all over again. But then, that’s exactly what the Marxist left wants. For history to repeat itself.

We’re at the point where the federal takeover of major cities in the U.S. is necessary. Mayors refuse to be responsible for law and order so President Trump is going to have to deploy the National Guard to restore order.

Kick down door or wait for him to come out and kick him in the head. He’s not safe anywhere. If crazies zero in on you....

This is the answer.

It's not just about Zionism. Also it's not just about Jews. Christians too. All infidels really.
