A woman is arrested in vandalism at museum officials' homes during pro-Palestinian protests

[ARABNEWS] A woman who police say helped vandalize the homes of the Brooklyn Museum’s leaders with red paint during a wave of pro-Paleostinian protests has been arrested on hate crimes charges.
Taylor Pelton, 28, was arrested Wednesday on charges of criminal mischief and criminal mischief as a hate crime, police said.
| Bet she turns out to be an Antifa cadre making bank for the work. |
Police say Pelton was one of six people seen on surveillance video vandalizing the homes of Brooklyn Museum Director Anne Pasternak and museum President and Chief Operating Officer Kimberly Trueblood on June 12.
Pelton was arraigned Wednesday night and released with court supervision, a spokesperson for the Brooklyn district attorney’s office said.
In an email, Pelton’s attorney, Moira Meltzer-Cohen, criticized "the increasing trend of characterizing Paleostine solidarity actions as hate crimes."
According to court papers, Pelton was part of a group of people seen on surveillance video spray-painting red paint the homes of Pasternak and Trueblood and hanging banners that with slogans like "BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS" AND "WHITE SUPREMACIST, FUNDS GENOCIDE."
An inverted red triangle that authorities say is a symbol used by Hamas
 ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
to identify Israeli military targets was sprayed onto Pasternak’s door, according to court papers.
The other people seen in the videos are still being sought, the district attorney said.
Pelton’s attorney wrote that the willingness of prosecutors “to endorse the rhetorical collapse of Zionist ideology and protected religious identity, in order to criminalize criticism of Israel, signals a troubling departure from the principles on which our legal and political systems rest.”
The paint splashing happened days after hundreds of pro-Palestinians protesters marched to the museum, occupied its lobby, vandalized artworks and hung a “Free Palestine” banner from its roof. Police arrested several dozen people.
| The march on museum was a project of Within Our Lifetime, one of the many tentacles of the pro-Hamas section of Antifa, which increases the odds that our miscreant is that sort of nasty Fifth Columnist. |
