Some sicko wrote, “Geese first, Jews next,” on an emergency call box in Park Slope, but it’s unclear whether the vandalism is an antisemitic call for violence or a sincere attempt to link this summer’s federal goose extermination to one of history’s greatest atrocities.
The vandalism, which appeared at Prospect Park West and Second Street, invokes the gassing of some 300 geese in Prospect Park, and also the Holocaust.
Andy Bachman, the rabbi at Congregation Beth Elohim on Garfield Place, thought the scribbling was in bad taste no matter its meaning.
“It’s either a bad joke in poor taste that falls flat, or someone too easily making reference to the extermination of Jews,” he said.
