Elder of ZiyonIt includes surveys of Jewish and Israeli students and faculty at UCLA, including answers to open-ended questions on how they experienced the tsunami of anti-Israel protests on campus last year.
What struck me most was photos included in the report of specific antisemitism during the protests, things I hadn't seen before.
Image 1. A sculpture of a pig featuring a clock with the words “Time is Running Out,” a bag with
a dollar sign, a Jewish star, and flames around the words “UC Regents.”
Image 2. Walls of a building at UCLA with graffiti. Phrases on the wall include “FUCK UCLA,”
“FUCK ALL Jews,” and “students 4 A free Palestine.” Symbols include a Jewish star, the letter A
in a circle (representing anarchy) and a hammer and sickle (representing communism).
Images 3 and 4. A
parking garage and
elevator defaced with
the swastika symbol.
Image 5. Three signs next to a tent at UCLA. One sign has a drawing of a teddy bear,
Palestinian flag, and watermelon with the phrases “FREE PALESTINE” and “FROM THE RIVER
TO THE SEA PALESTINE WILL BE FREE.” A second sign reads: “israelis Are Native 2 HELL.”
A third sign includes the slogan: “STOP THE US WAR MACHINE.”
Image 6. Students sit in a classroom before the
start of class. In the background, a chalkboard has
the words “FREE PALESTINE” with a swastika
drawn in the middle.
Image 10. Jewish Star drawn on the ground surrounded by the words “STEP HERE.”
Image 11. Individuals wearing masks and wielding knives on campus, while reportedly removing
signs of kidnapped civilians.
Image 12. A van with a swastika
embedded in a Jewish star, a Palestinian
flag, and other writing.
Images 13 and 14. Screenshots of the Cultural Affairs Commission’s October 7, 2024, Instagram
posts, which feature paragliders, inverted red triangles, and images of newspaper articles with a
stamp reading false
No one can claim that these protests are not antisemitic.
