On Thursday morning, antisemitic vandals targeted the Brooklyn Heights apartment building of Columbia University executive Cas Holloway, according to the New York Post.

The building was defaced with red graffiti, including inverted red triangles—a symbol used by Hamas in propaganda to identify Israeli targets. Vandals also released crickets into the building's lobby and broke a glass door.

Posters featuring Holloway’s name and photograph were plastered on the walls, accompanied by critiques of his handling of anti-Israel protests at Columbia University earlier this year.

The vandals left a message that read: “Did you enjoy our present? Did it make you uncomfortable? What you felt was incomparable to the pain you made Columbia students feel when you signed off on their brutalization because they stood against the genocide of Palestinians. P.S. Even when the crickets are gone from your apartment, the memory will remain."
