A vandal splattered red paint reminiscent of blood on an Israeli-owned kitchen design store in Maryland overnight Wednesday-Thursday, the latest in a series of incidents targeting the US business.

Idan Tzameret, the owner of Kitchen Design by Idan, said his store has been repeatedly targeted since the start of the Gaza war, apparently because of the Israeli flags hanging from the front of the building.

A friend called him at 6:30 a.m. on Thursday to say he had some “bad news — somebody spray-painted your door red,” Tzameret said.

“I was like, ‘Okay, it happened again,” Tzameret told The Times of Israel, adding that Thursday was his birthday.

“I got a nice gift for my birthday,” he said. He spent most of the day dealing with the police and arranging a clean-up.

Tzameret posted photos on social media showing red paint streaking down his store’s white door, one of his Israeli flags soaked in red, and more paint splattered on the sidewalk in front of the entrance.

When it comes to expressions of hate, there can be no tolerance. Today, I learned that a small business in our district, Kitchen Design by Idan, was the target of an apparent antisemitic act of vandalism.

A report has been filed with the Baltimore County........
