This OG family (ours to be exact) had been flying a standard size American flag from our home and beneath it was a small Israeli flag. This is an acceptable way to feature two national flags together.
Here is a link to our 2023 post about our display:
At about 11 pm last night, August 2, 2026, our Ring monitoring showed a hooded masked man walking up onto our porch and slapping a pro-Hamas sticker on the door. You can see it above with the black, green, white, and red Palestine flag along with symbols expressing Palestinian ambitions.
We don’t know if we are the only home in town where these stickers have been received, but this placement on s Jewish home indicates an antisemitic incident for us.
The Neptune PD have responded to our complaint and they will investigate.
As a Jewish family in the Grove, we find this to be disturbing.—never seen before in the Grove.
We don’t know if the Neptune detectives will pass this on to the Monmouth County Prosecutors’ Office.
Meanwhile we are not now drawing any other conclusions. But given the rise in antisemitism around the world including the US and New York City, those who care about “hate” in our town will help us keep our eyes open here.
Ironically, our flags have been down lately due to high winds last week, but we will get them back up shortly.

I apologize on behalf of the America to which I have belonged for over 60 years. This is terrible. Working and hoping for better days ahead.
I am so upset that this happened to you and family. I have been feeling frightened to show myself as being Jewish because I don’t want to invite this kind of attack.
