#Anti-Semitic graffiti found scrawled on NYC building

An anti-Semitic message was discovered on a building that houses the New York Professional Nurses Union on the Upper East Side — the second hateful note discovered in the neighborhood in the past two weeks.

The note scrawled in front of the Upper East Side building was similar to the one found taped on the storefront office window of Assemblywoman Rebecca Seawright nearby on York Avenue, a union rep said Wednesday.

The lurid messages, which The Post is not reprinting, made sexual references and alluded to Jewish stereotypes.

Eileen Toback, the executive director of the nurses’ union who is Jewish, said she reported the hateful message to the NYPD’s 19th Precinct and its hate crimes unit after seeing The Post’s story about the bigot who targeted Seawright.

“Hate crimes and hate speech diminish us all. It shouldn’t be tolerated or normalized,” Toback told The Post. “A crime against any one of us is a crime against all of us, whether it’s anti-Semitic, racist, anti-immigrant, misogynistic, homophobic or anti-transgender.”

Toback discovered the anti-Semitic graffiti written on a construction port-a-potty located 10 feet from her office at 241 East 75th Street.

“The rise in hate crimes must be taken seriously, and the New York Professional Nurses Union will do all we can to support the police’s investigation in this matter,” she said.

Toback wondered if there’s a connection between the two incidents.

The union supports Seawright’s reelection and lent her petitioners office space last month when her campaign was collecting voter signatures to get her on the ballot. The notes were similar.

Because of paperwork snafus, Seawright, a three-term incumbent, was knocked off the Democratic and Working Families party lines and has filed independent petitions to run on the independent “Rise and Unite” ballot line.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo condemned the anti-Semitic graffiti directed at Seawright, as did her opponents, Republican candidate Louis Puliafito and Democratic activist Patrick Bobilin, who is seeking to run under the independent “Blue Wave” banner.

“Hate is not acceptable period. I ask the @NYPD19pct to please obtain and post the video of this crime online in hope of catching these perpetrators,” Puliafito tweeted.

Bobilin tweeted, “I may not agree with the Assembly member on everything but we certainly stand together against misogyny and anti-semitism (sic). This is upsetting and unwelcome in our neighborhood. Solidarity with @SawrightForNY against hate.

The police had no immediate comment.
