There is antisemitic and anti-israel graffiti all over the place, with a “Heil Hitler” written on a wall in the main corner of the shopping area. The authorities don’t seem to care.

While visiting, I noticed a red, green and black flag and was immediately alarmed. Later, I was notified that it was the pan-African flag. Other than that, I have felt safe in New York City. I was however shocked to see Ceasefire and Free Palestine flags on Jewish homes in areas such as Park Slope.
