A slew of art galleries across New York City have been hit with anti-Israel graffiti and daubed with red paint - yet some gallery owners have controversially chosen to keep the attacks secret.
Insiders are divided on whether to dismiss the perpetrators as a nuisance and ignore them, or decry what they see as rank antisemitism. Some gallery owners say that they don’t want to lend credibility to the vandals by publicizing the attacks, and still others say that as artists, it would be hypocritical to repress expression.
The galleries range from small hipster operations on the Lower East Side with no obvious ties to Middle Eastern politics to a grand Fifth Avenue institution headed by a prominent Jewish leader.
Over the last couple of weeks, some of the galleries have been postered with signs quoting purported Palestinian death tolls and the words, “Stop selling to Zionists. Stop working with Zionists,” while the elite Pace gallery was scrawled with the word “Intifada” in red letters. Many more have been splattered with red paint, apparently intended to represent blood.
The vandals seem to have targeted Pace, which had to close for the day to remove the graffiti, over its representation of Israeli artist Michal Rovner, according to ArtNews. The gallery posted Rovner’s video work, called “Signals,” which calls for a return of the hostages taken by Hamas during the Oct. 7 attacks.
“Between Friday night and Saturday morning, the exterior of our 540 West 25th Street gallery was vandalized,” the blue-chip gallery told Page Six in a statement. “The vandalism was extensive enough to necessitate the gallery’s closure while we complete clean-up efforts. The safety of our staff and visitors to our galleries is of the utmost importance, as is our commitment to fostering a safe and open workplace that respects...

If the vandals are white men, then they’ll complain and press charges (where they can). If Muslims, not so much, as they are ‘brothers in the bigger war’.
Could you tell the difference between Hunter’s paint splatters and a protester’s?
Good tag line.
They should pretend it never happened.
That was a winning strategy for Jews in 1930s Germany.
Lol.
Democrat KKK people, putting back on their kill the jews hats!
Liberal art galleries vandalized by liberal policies. Once again, the law of “unintended consequences” claims another perceived victim.
When you consider the total infestation of FBI operatives in all political movements, you’ve got to figure Wray’s goons are right there plying their trade.
In their perfect islamic paradise all art work would be burned. Look how grea Afghanistan is.
The Zionists are being led by YWHW as of old.Ever since Oct 7th Genocide, its a righteous world wide war to eliminate the Palestinian curse on Israel and on our body politic.That war is here in America now.
I am all for deporting these criminal Islamofascist bastids or just shooting them in defence of property.Smite them hip and thigh.We have no choice.

In the good ol’ days, they would individually or collectively hire ‘muscle’ to beat seven bells out of the vandals. Nothing quite like a thrashing to convince such miscreants of the error of their ways.
All the people doing this need to be hunt down and eliminated.

Gee what a swell society our natuon has turned in to. Racism? Yeah, not so much (tOwards blacks that is- plenty of hate by blacks for whites, asians, jews, etc). Vile hate filled Antisemetism? You betcha.
So much frigging anger and hatred.
Yes. Hunter's splatters come with access to The Big Guy™️©️®️
“The Zionists are being led by YWHW”
NOT. Israel is one of the most pro LGBT countries in the world.
Maybe God is using violent Muslims the same way he used the Assyrians.
[“Insiders are divided on whether to dismiss the perpetrators as a nuisance and ignore them, or decry what they see as rank antisemitism.”]
Let’s change the races and political affiliation of the criminals here and see what the headline would then read
“Insiders are united in their call for charges of hate crimes towards the white conservatives who wrote racist words on black churches”
As if NYC art galleries are not already anti-Christian/Catholic/Jewish enough. You can’t get a painting of Jesus or Moses exhibited in a NYC gallery or museum unless some Negro is urinating on his head in the painting.
Sounds like they got the idea from the a-holes at Extinction Rebellion.

The Jews have always been divided between the righteous and the ignorant....thats been going on for years.Witness the Vichy Jews of FRance who sold their Jewish neighbors down the rails to Auschwitz.Thats the kind of Jew that Shumer Nadler,Soros and Schiff are.
BUt men like Nethanyahu and those who fight in the IDF are blessed by YWHW and they fight the righteous battle lead by YWHW. Just remind yiurself to take a good look once in a while. Maybe you will see it,,,,,maybe not.Depends on your level of defilement in relating to Divine Providence, whichi effects direct perception.Men like Biden are deeply defiled, with little chance of any recovery.
And it the mix of it all YWHW leads his People.The righteous and the defiled Jews will naturally be separated by the process of what is happening now.Its like a huge spiritual fractional distillery.
So sit back and watch closely.
“Some gallery owners say ... that as artists, it would be hypocritical to repress expression.”
interesting ... i wonder if the owners would consider, for example, fire-bombing their galleries as “expression”?
