This graffiti was found in the heart of the Orthodox Jewish community of Flatbush, in the Midwood section of Brooklyn, on Wednesday morning.
The words “Free Palestine” along with a Palestinian flag were scratched into a newly paved sidewalk on a very Orthodox populated street in the vicinity of Bedford Avenue and Avenue K – just a few blocks away from Councilman Chaim Deutsch’s residence.
Not to worry, this likely won’t be investigated as hate, thanks to Mayor DeBlasio, Speaker Corey Johnson and the rest of the gang that just emboldened Linda Sarsour and other open terrorist-embracing animals.
In case you are not aware what this is referring to, we remind readers to the NYC Council throwing Councilman Kalman Yeger off the Immigration Committee earlier this week after he tweeted that “Palestine does not exist”, as well as saying that Rep. Ilhan Omar is an anti-Semite.
The Mayor, Speaker and many others instantly condemned Yeger and demanded he apologize. Yeger had been unapologetic about his comments during a news conference on Thursday. “There is no state by that name. There is no place by that name. That’s a fact. I didn’t make it up, I didn’t invent it,” he said.
Sarsour, a Palestinian terrorist-sympathizer and New York City-based activist who encouraged the backlash to Yeger’s comments, applauded his removal from the Council committee.
“This sends a wider message that saying anti-Arab, anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian things comes with consequences,” Ms. Sarsour said.

.@TheDemocrats Tale of Two Cities:
In D.C. it’s OK to be an Antisemite in Congress.
In NYC it’s NOT OK to state historical fact.
One party. Two standards. All twisted.

I salute @NYCSpeakerCoJo for standing up against hate and bigotry. Thank you for removing Kalman Yeger off the immigration committee. Palestinians feel seen and heard. This is not your first time doing what’s right and I know it won’t be your last. ✊🏽

Breaking News: NYC Councilman Yeger gets kicked off of the Immigration Committee. No longer will anti-Palestinian, anti-Muslim comments by elected officials go unchecked. It’s a new day. 🇵🇸✊🏽 https://t.co/tJ72ih5YTi

I don’t agree with @KalmanYeger on every issue but I believe in free speech — even when it’s unpopular or politically incorrect. He has a right to his opinion. @NYCCouncil is supposed to be a forum for debate and the exchange of ideas. This is getting out of hand!

Good ? Omar made antisemitic statements. Saying “Israel hypnotized the world” isnt something that can be backed up empirically. Saying a country of “Palestine never existed” is an irrefutable fact. Notice they arent actually arguing that. They just don’t like when we say it!

Where are all the so-called “free speech advocates”?!
An elected official was removed from a committee for stating an incontestable fact.
Let that sink in.

Can we thank satmar and neturei karta (satmars natural outgrowth)
I didn’t vote for this.
Thanks Yeger and Hikind for enflaming passions and needlessly creating tension in our otherwise peaceful neighborhoods of Brooklyn.

You will always find a way to blame the victim.
Why don’t you find a thread about trump and go bash him.
Galicianer – The victims are the peaceful people of Flatbush in the vicinity of Bedford Avenue and Avenue K. They deserve no blame. Hikind and Yeger are not the victims.

If they are jewish, then in this case they are the victims. As are all jews.
Hateful muslims did not begin to hate Jews because of Hikind’s comments, which were 10000% justified.
They’ve been doing it since before Hikind and Yeager were born.
Therefore, yes they are the victims.
And you are blaming them for the haters perpetrating their vicious hate.
And DeBlassio, the hypocrite, is the one who emboldens them.
And now you will not hear a single peep of condemnation from him.
So please go back to devoting your attention to bashing trump.
