Effy's Café, a Jewish-owned staple on New York City's Upper West Side, was mercilessly vandalized by a group of pro-Palestinian protesters who claim the cafe's owners and patrons are 'supporting genocide.'

The sidewalk in front of the 96th Street restaurant, where patrons are accustomed to standing and waiting for a table inside the popular café, was marred with graffiti.

The sidewalk now reads in large capital letters: FORM LINE HERE TO SUPPORT GENOCIDE.

Red paint, suggestive of blood, was smeared across the charming cafe's façade.

Effy's Café, and its Jewish owner, Efi Jacoby, are only the latest targets of a growing antisemitic movement in New York City that has seen massive protests and other acts of vandalism. 

Effy's is a cornerstone of the Upper West Side Jewish food scene.
