An individual was arrested yesterday, July 31, in connection with the vandalism of Brooklyn Museum Director Anne Pasternak’s home earlier this summer, the New York Police Department (NYPD) confirmed to Hyperallergic.
Pasternak was one of four museum leaders whose residences were graffitied with anti-Zionist messages on the morning of June 12, following a massive and heavily policed pro-Palestine protest at the Brooklyn Museum on May 31 that saw the arrests of dozens of demonstrators.
Photos of the incident showed the museum director’s front porch doused in red paint and a white banner with the words “Anne Pasternak Brooklyn Museum White-Supremacist Zionist” hanging across the entrance. Two inverted red triangles were spray-painted on her windows, a symbol that appears in Hamas military videos to indicate Israeli targets. In the aftermath of the incident, some also pointed to the Nazis’ use of inverted red triangles to classify their victims, though the red shape in particular was used to designate political prisoners. Others trace the symbol back to the red triangle that appears in the Palestinian flag.
The homes of Brooklyn Museum Board Chair Barbara Vogelstein, Board Treasurer Neil Simpkins, and President and Chief Operating Officer Kimberly Panicek Trueblood were targeted as well.

They look like red panties!
Yes, a lot of similarities in the photos.
I suppose it is ironic, but the BMA has one of the best and deepest collections of Islamic art in the country. It is better than that of the MMA, in MHO.
