The anti-Israel/pro-Hamas mob defaced Cornell, writing phrases such as “Blood is on your hands” and “Israel bombs and Cornell pays.” The mob claimed they had to target property because it’s the only thing the school cares about.
From The New York Post:
“With the start of this new academic year, the Cornell administration is trying desperately to upkeep a facade of normalcy knowing that, since last semester, they have been working tirelessly to uphold Cornell’s function as a fascist, classist, imperial machine,” the activists said.Joel M. Malina, vice president for university relations, said those responsible would be “subject to suspension and criminal charges.”“We are appalled by the graffiti spray painted, and glass shattered overnight along the front entrance of Day Hall,” Malina said in a statement. “Acts of violence, extended occupation of buildings, or property damage (including graffiti) will not be tolerated and will prompt an immediate response from public safety.”Cornell Law professor William A. Jacobson said the crimes sent a message at the start of the semester.“Given the weak response at Cornell last academic year to intimidation tactics by anti-Israel activists, it is no surprise that they have upped the aggressiveness by opening the semester with vandalism and destruction of property,” said Jacobson, founder of EqualProtect.org. “This is a bad omen.”The incident came on the same day Gov. Kathy Hochul was set to hold a virtual meeting with college and university presidents across New York to discuss campus safety as officials fear a repeat of recent semesters when lawless protests and chaos reigned at higher-learning institutions.
