This morning, the home of Brooklyn Museum director Anne Pasternak was vandalized with red paint and a sign that refers to her and the Brooklyn Museum as "White Supremacist Zionist". We, the members of AAMD, unequivocally and forcefully condemn this antisemitic act. As cultural leaders--and also as people of different backgrounds and experiences--we understand the emotion and anger the Israel-Hamas war has wrought. This, however, does not mean that protestors have unencumbered rights to attack individual persons in pursuit of their cause. Whether at someone's home or at a museum, this behavior is inexcusable. It does tremendous disservice to discourse and conflict resolution, and the ends simply do not justify the means. We hope that the authorities will pursue and prosecute the perpetrators to the fullest extent of the law.
