Hundreds of posters depicting Jewish faculty members as “wanted” were plastered across the University of Rochester campus in upstate New York on Sunday night, an antisemitic act the school’s president told CNN “would not be tolerated.”

The posters criticize faculty members for their alleged response to the war in Gaza. One poster accuses a faculty member of “ethnic cleansing” and “displacement of Palestinians.” A different poster accuses another faculty member of “racism,” “hate speech” and intimidation.

“I want to be as clear as I can that the University of Rochester strongly denounces the recent display of ‘Wanted’ posters targeting senior University leaders and members of our faculty, staff, and Board of Trustees,” university President Sarah Mangelsdorf said in a statement Tuesday. “This act is disturbing, divisive and intimidating and runs counter to our values as a university.”

What the CNN article doesn't mention is that the posters also feature Netanyahu's brother, Iddo Netanyahu.

From the article below (photo of the poster is included):

One of the posters said Iddo Netanyahu, a physician, is employed by the university at its St. James Hospital, and accused him of “committing war crimes in the special forces unit of the ‘Israeli’ occupation force for the 1973 military ‘conflict’ that killed over 800,000 people in Palestine and surrounding Arab nations.”

If any of these individuals who are posted, are harmed, then whoever posted them needs to be prosecuted.

I wonder how the so-called pro-Palestinians would react if they had wanted posters put up about them, accusing them of supporting terror organizations and their war crimes?

I recall seeing some fringe news group placing pro-Palestinian protesters' photos on the side of their vans and getting accosted for having done so. The protesters were none too happy about it.

Universities are the enemy within these days. They're a breeding ground for anti west sentiment. The long slow march through the institutions is bearing fruit.
