I drew a swastika at a bus stop: an anti-Semitic Jewish woman was arrested in Brooklyn

A Jewish woman was arrested in Brooklyn for drawing a swastika at a bus stop. The edition told in more detail NYDailyNews.

After the hate crime, she wrote on Facebook: "Perhaps the anti-Semites are right."

Farnush Khakakyan, 45, was arrested on May 18. She was charged with mischief and a hate crime in connection with the May 5 incident in Borough Park.

"I'm Jewish. This is my art, this is how I express myself. I do not agree with Judaism and the way the Jewish people are,” Khakakyan told investigators during her arrest.

According to the source, she admitted to drawing the swastika. An anti-Semitic symbol was scribbled in white over an advertisement calling for an end to hatred against Jews.

According to prosecutors, the footage shows Khakakyan inking another swastika inside a bus stop. Then she put on her backpack and waited for the bus.

She took to Facebook the day after she spray-painted a Nazi symbol in a post about the incident.

“Instead of condemning anti-Semites, has it ever occurred to you to think: maybe we are doing a lot of wrong things and we need to change? Has it ever crossed your mind that the anti-Semites are right?” Khakakian wrote.

“If Jews, including my own family, were open to criticism and change, they would not go to extremes,” she suggested.

Khakakian later announced that she was converting to Buddhism.

More than 2021 anti-Semitic incidents were reported in the state in 400, according to an Anti-Defamation League report.

Statewide data for 2021 includes 183 harassment incidents, 182 vandalism reports, 161 swastika incidents, and 51 assaults.
