Lower Manhattan’s iconic “Charging Bull” statue was defaced with the hateful message “Death to Israel” as protesters waving Palestinian flags marched through the area Thursday night.
The graffiti written in black marker was located behind the ear of the bull, while “Free Palestine” was scrawled across its face, according to photos.
he vandalism was spotted by The Post as a crowd of anti-Israel protesters passed by the tourist hot spot.
Some in the group, including a man dressed in traditional Orthodox Jewish garb, climbed atop the bronze statue and waved Palestinian flags.
The protesters eventually made their way toward City Hall, where multiple people were arrested.
The NYPD said eight people were issued summonses for disorderly conduct and another was charged with resisting arrest and obstructing governmental administration.
The wave of people who flooded the streets of Lower Manhattan were part of an “Emergency Action For Gaza” rally in response to the deaths of over 100 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip early Thursday.
Gazans who witnessed the tragedy said they saw Israeli troops open fire on the crowd of hungry Palestinians who were attempting to pull boxes of flour and canned food from aid trucks.
But Israel has blamed a chaotic stampede for the deaths and claimed its troops only fired “a few warning shots” when the crowd became unruly.

Election day will be interesting this year.
Looks like Yasser Arafat over there. They all look like Yasser Arafat.
“including a man dressed in traditional Orthodox Jewish garb”
There is a significant anti Zionist group among very orthodox Jews. I was on a business trip in mid town Manhattan, there was a pro Israel demonstration, among the counter protestors there were a number of men in full Haredi dress.
Is there a statue of a Paying Cash Bull?
Yes, different views. As there are among many leftist and particularly secular Jews
No. The Charging Bull was illegally dropped off by the artist as a gift a few blocks away and confiscated by police. They reinstalled in where it stands a week or so later. Expensive give, but the artist Arturo Di Modica could afford it. And he’s made reproductions for collectors who can afford it.
Americans should get together and demand that the ragheads take their hate with them back to their homes in the middle east. Americans don’t care about their Nazi booschidt.
Destroyed, just like the Georgia Guidestones.
It’s amazing that these Israeli hate groups fail to see the parallel with the Nazis. Of course, if they were smart, they wouldn’t be associated with a hate group.
I know it’s possible he was Jewish, but I ALSO know that there is nothing the radical left loves better that playing dress-up at their protests.
That, and playing with giant puppets.
