A group of subway riders in New York City took swift action to erase anti-Semitic graffiti from a train’s windows, demonstrating that hate has no place in their community. When Dr. Sarah Thompson boarded a train in Manhattan one evening, she was shocked to see swastikas and hateful messages marred across the signage and advertisements. In a city known for its diversity, such a display of bigotry was intolerable.
Instead of ignoring it, Sarah and her fellow commuters sprang into action. In her recounting on social media, she described how quickly the group mobilized. “As soon as we spotted the graffiti, one passenger stood up and said, ‘We need some hand sanitizer to clean this up!’” With determination, they pooled their resources, grabbing tissues and sanitizer from their bags. “Within two minutes, the hateful symbols were wiped away,” she noted, expressing pride in their collective response.
Unfortunately, this incident reflects a broader trend in the U.S., where rising hate crimes have become a troubling reality since the recent election. Many have felt emboldened to express their bigotry, believing that such sentiments are being validated. But as Dr. Thompson pointed out, moments like these reveal that not everyone is willing to accept this new normal.
Another passenger voiced the sentiment many felt: “I guess this is what America has come to.” Yet Sarah and her fellow riders insisted that this was not acceptable. They showed that the resistance to hate can manifest in small but powerful ways. “No, it’s not, and it never will be as long as we stand up against it,” she concluded in her post.
