The Greenwich Village apartment building of New York Times Executive | |
Editor Joseph Kahn was defaced with red paint and graffiti in the early | |
hours of Friday morning. | |
The paint covered the walls and front steps to the apartment building, | |
and writing at the base of the steps read, “Joe Kahn lies Gaza | |
dies.” | |
The paper has long faced sharp backlash for its coverage of the war in | |
Gaza, and its headquarters in Times Square was vandalized just last | |
month with red paint and a similar spray-painted sentiment, “NYT lies | |
Gaza dies.” | |
No arrests have been made in the Friday incident, the New York Police | |
Department told CNN, and the investigation remains ongoing. | |
The Times said it is working with police following the incident. | |
“People are free to disagree with The New York Times’s reporting | |
but vandalism and targeting of individuals and their families crosses a | |
line and we will work with authorities to address it,” New York Times | |
spokesperson Charlie Stadtlander said. | |
The display outside Kahn’s home follows a common theme of activists | |
using red paint to protest the war by vandalizing buildings that host | |
political figures, newspapers and other establishments. | |
In the month after the Hamas-led attacks and Israeli began in 2023, | |
several protestors were arrested after building during a | |
pro-Palestinian demonstration. | |
Protesters around the country have called for a ceasefire in the | |
Israel-Hamas war that began in 2023 after Hamas launched a surprise | |
attack on Israel that left 1,200 people dead and took — 48 of whom | |
remain in Gaza today, and only 20 are believed to be alive, according | |
to the Israeli government. The death toll in Gaza has reached, with a | |
further 159,490 injured since the war began, according to the latest | |
update from the Palestinian Ministry of Health. | |
