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.
