NYPD Release Footage of ‘Fedora-Wearing Bicyclist’ Who Spray-Painted Swastikas on NYC Yeshiva

Fact checked by The People's Voice Community

New York went into meltdown after a swastika was found scrawled across a local yeshiva — politicians and pundits erupted, crying “rising antisemitism” and demanding new protections, funding, and hate-crime laws in the wake of Zohran Mamdani’s election.

Now the NYPD has dropped new photos of the “fedora-wearing” bicyclist behind the vandalism — and the twist? The manufactured outrage by the Israel First crowd was sparked by a false flag.

From New York Post, “Fedora-wearing bicyclist who scrawled swastikas at NYC yeshiva caught on video”:

Disturbing surveillance video captured the mysterious bike-riding vandal who painted swastikas at a Brooklyn yeshiva early Wednesday morning — just hours after socialist Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral win.

The footage shows a single figure wearing a wide-brimmed hat pedal up to the Magen David Yeshiva in Gravesend around 6:30 a.m., stopping briefly and scrawling the hateful graffiti before riding off.

“In light of the results from the election last night, everybody is super sensitive and we’re afraid that this is going to be the new norm, where these people are going to be emboldened that think that they can get away with it,” Bob Moskovitz, Executive Coordinator for Flatbush Shormrim Patrol, told The Post.

[…] “It’s not a coincidence that this happened hours after Mamdani won the election,” one yeshiva dad said. “Anyone who claims that it is is lying to themselves or having delusions. This was a statement that with the new boss in charge, we finally get to show our true colors.”

The suspect was wearing all black. Black gloves, a black face mask, what looks like black dress shoes, and a black fedora (similar to those you’d see worn in the community).

This act of petty vandalism was clearly well-thought-out, and it just so happened to also be well-timed for maximum political impact.

It was swiftly seized on by the ADL and Israel First politicians in New York to cry wolf and demand more protection money.

Incidentally, none of the politicians who spread the initial story are spreading these new photos of the suspect.

Aren’t they supposed to be interested in catching this person?
