A reader spotted this hate message, which follows many of its kind, on a bench in the Kingston Ave. subway station. It seems some area teenagers got bored of jumping into the tracks, and found another productive way to occupy their time.

Stop putting up all these incidents. It is making people more nervous. The police must take drastic action and put out more noticeable security on subways, streets and on the trains. Let the perpetrators know that they are being watched. Scare them away instead of catching them after a terrible incident.
nothing new
they coem up on the benches and the poles every few weeks

who cares about things written on benches and graffiti!! NOT a big deal…!!!!!!! just ignore it!!!!
americans are not used to such anti semitism, baruch Hashem. In Europe, we see this all the time. It’s not a big deal to ‘put on the news’.
thank you!!
dont be afraid…
Let them kill themselves.
Better they should play chicken on the tracks. On Shabbos, so we Jewish strap-hangers don’t get inconvenienced.

Yea, let the shkutzim play chicken on the tracks. If they fall of onto the 3rd rail they’ll be fried chicken, a fitting meesa meshuna!

Translation: I’m jealous because they function and get on with life and we don’t. Wouldn’t call that particularly hateful.
not surprised at all!
the way that jews behave in this neighborhood the only thing they promote is antisemitism!

THE LOCAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAVE TO START BEING PRO-ACTIVE about these kids…..whats going on in the home, and also about moral responsibility and what is bias and what is hate etc, etc.
the local schools have responsibility and they need to step in here.
we really need rabbi frank who teaches sheva mitzvas bnei noiach.

That particular style of print is associated with ghetto tagging, but I do not doubt for a moment that the dysfunction in CH has spawned oisvorfen who would tag the subway to relieve their boredom and frustration.
Food for thought
I understand that there are concerns about the behavior of some of the Jewish community in Crown Heights. I wouldn’t say that directly causes antisemitic graffiti (or worse), but I think some of us could take time to think about our behavior or attitudes towards others. Sometimes, as you probably know, even a subtle attitude can be interpreted as negative, and when those subtleties multiply the results are quite obvious. Some behavior is interpreted as our feeling superior, aloof, closed, narrow-minded. negative, prejudiced, rude, obnoxious, and more. Don’t generalizations towards any group reflect ignorance from the generalist? We don’t like prejudice towards us, so why would we think anyone else likes prejudice towared them. Think!
