Infuriating to see @miriamparkslope — one of my absolute favorites — vandalized (again) overnight with antisemitic graffiti.

They serve delicious Israeli… pic.twitter.com/hoSDYuzLGI

Heartbroken and furious at the antisemitic vandalism at Miriam restaurant in Park Slope. This kind of virulent Jewish hatred has no place in our, or any, community.
It is past time to do everything to bring the perpetrators to justice and ensure such attacks never happen again. pic.twitter.com/8nGRgfhHL9

This is a despicable act of hateful vandalism meant to terrorize the Jewish community. We are grateful to @NYPD78Pct for the quick response, and have communicated with the owner of Miriam, a welcoming and beloved Park Slope, Brooklyn eatery, to offer our support.…

Miriam is a beloved neighborhood restaurant. This targeting and vandalizing of an Israeli restaurant is plain wrong.
This hateful act does undermine our collective safety. Hope that everyone will go for a meal or order in some delicious food from Miriam today! https://t.co/3iTKo97suW
