One message said \u201cFree Palestine,\u201d and another used a profanity in referring to Israel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Denise Gebroe has run the personal training studio for about a decade and says this is not the first time she has been targeted because of two Israeli flags in the windows.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cI am just a Jewish woman in a small rural Vermont town. I helped the Afghanistan community move into Brattleboro, and I helped them find halal food. I\u2019m a first responder. I don\u2019t deserve this vandalism. No one does. We should all be treated equally. This is unacceptable,\u201d Gebroe said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Vermont State Police are investigating the incident in collaboration with the Attorney General\u2019s Office as a possible hate crime. <\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 WCAX.
