Mid-Hudson News reports that an Orthodox Jewish property developer returned last week to his Hyde Park property in Dutchess County from a trip to war-torn Israel, and found a swastika on the land where he wants to build homes. Sam Mermelstein, the developer of The Enclave at Hyde Park on Cream Street, said, “This is not something you want to see when you come back home.... The swastika really scared me." Mermelstein believes he was targeted. He said, “I dress like a Jew, I look like a Jew, and people know me,” and said he often attends town meetings to get approval for his housing development. Currently, Israel is at war with the terrorist group Hamas, with both sides also killing many civilians. Hyde Park Police Chief Robert Benson said his department is investigating the incident, and anyone with information should call the Hyde Park Police Department at 845-229-9340.
