Maimonides Security personnel called 911, and the NYPD conducted a bias-crime investigation.
Maimonides Medical Center gave the following statement to us regarding this incident:

Look, we’re getting warning after warning. Let’s wake up, and do Teshuva before it becomes too late.
Did anyone notice the huge rainbow that appeared in the sky the night of Leiby kletsky’s, A”H, funeral? Do you know what the significance of a rainbow is?
The rainbow came after the Great Flood to let Noah and his descendents know that, in the future, whenever mankind deserved to be destroyed, G-D would not do so, because of his promise to Noah. But G-D would show his displeasure by showing a rainbow to indicate that we deserve another Great Flood.
The main sin for which a rainbow appears os the sin of the Dor Hamabul–rampant immorality.
‘Nuff said!
Isn’t the rainbow a signal to the Yidden? I doubt that the swastika was applied to the ambulance by a Jew. It was doubtless done by “summer holiday bored” Gentile teenagers. I don’t think that our doing more Teshuva will help these kids – but of course, you never know. In most cases, the parents of these kids would be mortified if they knew what they had done.
Commenting on the pasuk “vatimalai ha’aretz chamas” Rashi says that “chamas” is robbery and not immorality.
to #2 maybe not but they are agents of H. We should certainly take note.
One point that comes out is maybe America isn’t as safe as people think…
