(Jewish Group) NYC's 'Miriam' restaurant sprayed with 'f-- Jews' graffiti

Miriam had been open for less than a month before being marred by antisemitic graffiti.

On Thursday morning, the staff found “f— Jews” spray painted at least three times on the perimeter of the Upper West Side restaurant’s outdoor dining area.

It was “sad to see,” owner and chef Rafael Hasid told the Forward. “Why do people have to hate so much?”

“I’m not telling my family about it,” he added, because he does not want to worry his mother who lives in Israel. “When you’re farther away, everything seems to be worse than what it really is. I don’t want to get her upset.”
