The New Orleans City Council Friday denounced the targeted antisemitic attack on one of its staff members after the front of their home and an Israeli flag hanging on it were splattered with blood red paint.

"On the evening of May 16, vandals covered a New Orleans City Council staff member's home in red paint, presumably to represent blood, in relation to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Regardless of anyones passionate feelings on this issue, threats, vandalism, harassment, and violence are not the answer. The Jewish staff persons family, including her two small children, woke up to their home desecrated. All our families deserve to feel safe at home, including public servants who work tirelessly to make our city a better place. We will not tolerate hate in our community," the council said in their statement.

At press time no one had taken responsibility for the vandalism. Federal and local law enforcement officials are investigating the incident.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
