BROOKLYN, NY — In a stunning display of intolerance, Sixth Avenue in Park Slope was littered with strips of papers reading “KILL JEWS” in capital letters from Fourth to Ninth streets on Wednesday.

Another Sick Call to ‘KILL JEWS’

BROOKLYN, NY — In a stunning display of intolerance, Sixth Avenue in Park Slope was littered with strips of papers reading “KILL JEWS” in capital letters from Fourth to Ninth streets on Wednesday.

Nearly two dozen of the strips were picked up by Karen Guilbert, who had just finished walking her daughter to school.

“It’s so ignorant and hateful,” said Guilbert, who picked up a handful of the same slips back in October. “There are hundreds of kids that walk up and down this street.”

Before she turned the slips over to the police, Guilbert played amateur detective by turning the strips over and piecing them together. All that emerged was that the slips had been cut from a document from a taxi driving school. Yet there were no addresses or phone numbers on the strips that offered any further clues.

“Someone is trying to be a taxi driver,” Guilbert nervously joked. “I sure hope I don’t end up in his car.”

An officer from the 78th Precinct turned the notes over to the NYPD’s Hate Crimes Unit, but the department offered no comment.

Most unsettling, this is not the first time the craven Anti-Semitic litterer has struck.

In addition to Guilbert’s Halloween discovery, last September, the same notes turned up in Bay Ridge, Boerum Hill and Clinton Hill.

To top it off, vandals struck two synagogues in Brooklyn Heights in 2007 and left the same message on car windshields.

  • kill the anti semite

    If the police REALLY wanted to find these perps they would canvass local taxi driving schools. There can’t be so many! But they won’t even try. Kudos to this lady for doing the cops’ job!

  • ANNOYED WITH THE POLICE SYSTEM IN NY

    I AGREE IF =THEY REALLY WANTED TO DO SOMTHING ABOUT IT THEY WOULD!!!!!!!!

  • calm down!

    calm down it’s been like this since avrohom avinu and it’s often been way more than dropping papers on the street.
    “eisav soneh es yaakov,” and i hate to break it to you, but the policemen aren’t Jewish; they don’t give a hoot.

    it makes me nervous but don’t try to stop cause it’s natural.

    actually that’s pretty freaky.

  • please read.

    this reminds me of the story of chanukah. the Hellenism who tried to please Antyochus to be just like there colture and in the end this is what caused the decree of antyochus to go against Hashem.so to now. we go according to there dress and some even have televisions in there home. we must change this“colture” and bring moshiach now!! the yidden were negalu b’schus that they didn’t change there name,dress and belived in g-d. we van do that now freely!

    B“H

    But the enlightened people of Park Slope are oh, so openminded!

    If the slips said, ”KILL ARABS“ or ”KILL BLACKS“ well, THEN the police would surely do something, because we all know how horribly oppressed THOSE groups are!

    But it’s ”just“ the JEWS being threatened here. So people like ”C’mon” can act like this is nothing.

    Chassidus teaches that words have power.

    Think about it!

    To tit for tat:
    I know u r kidding but think about it.
    If we do that we r only adding fuel to the fire

  • detective like

    The papers thrown out were from a taxi school.
    The first incident i heard of was the one in bayridge.
    This has got to be a muslim.
    Bayridge is extremely Muslim,and tons of muslims are taxi drivers too.

  • in williamsburgh

    about 6 weeks ago I found this same piece of paper on Park avenue between skilman and franklin in williamsburgh. I made a police report..4 police-people came to my office and questioned me, and that’s where it stopped

  • give it time

    they did not do anything REALLY bad yet, so give the police some time to work things out.
