Vandals Scrawl Swastikas Throughout the Hamptons Ahead of Hanukkah Celebrations

December 21, 2024

Tensions are rising in two Long Island communities following a disturbing resurgence of antisemitic incidents.

Hateful symbols appeared in Montauk and antisemitic flyers are circulating in Dix Hills, just days before the start of Hanukkah.

In Montauk, the community woke up to a troubling sight on Thursday morning when swastikas were discovered spray-painted on five signs at Shadmoor State Park.

“This is a sign there’s still darkness out there and still negativity,” said Rabbi Aizik Baumgarten, from the Chabad of Montauk.

Rabbi Josh Franklin, of the Jewish Center of the Hamptons, expressed both sorrow and resolve.

“This is not surprising. It’s horrific. It’s painful. And at the same time, we know we’re here again to come together in solidarity and unity,” he said, underscoring the resilience of the Jewish community in the face of hate.

A show of unity was evident when about two dozen people gathered in the center of Montauk to denounce the hateful acts.

Holding signs and speaking out, the group voiced their opposition to hatred, antisemitism, and racism.

The Suffolk County Police Hate Crimes Unit is investigating the flyers in Dix Hills as a non-criminal matter, while the governor has directed state police to collaborate with local authorities in investigating the Montauk graffiti.
