One or more vandals have defaced a pair of billboards paid for by the Navy SEAL Foundation and located on the railroad trestle that crosses Myrtle Avenue at Fesh Pond Road on the Ridgewood-Glendale border.
The billboards, visible to eastbound traffic, have identical photos of Navy SEALs in action. On one poster, men’s faces have been obscured by letters of the word “GAZA.”
Across the top of the second is scrawled “Die for empire, die for nothing.”
The site has held billboards featuring the U.S. military for years.
The graffiti appeared days after an attempt by protesters failed to shut down Terminal 4 at John F. Kennedy International Airport. El Al, the national airline of Israel, boards departing flights from Terminal 4.
