U. Michigan President’s Home Spray-Painted With Anti-Israel Messages

It looks as though this was revenge for the school not divesting from Israel.

University of Michigan president’s home spray-painted with anti-Israel messages: ‘Intifada’

The home of University of Michigan president Santa Ono and the sidewalk were vandalized Monday, with anti-Israel messages spray-painted at the location on the first anniversary of Hamas terrorists’ attack against Israel.

The words “intifada” and “coward” were spray-painted on the property in West Bloomfield, Michigan, according to The Associated Press. “Intifada” is an Arabic term for the Palestinian uprising against Israel.

West Bloomfield police did not identify the owner of the home, but the university acknowledged that Ono is the owner. This house is separate from his official campus residence.

The home of the university’s chief investment officer, Erik Lundberg, was also vandalized on Monday, according to The Detroit News.

This, as Ono and the university’s governing board have been criticized by pro-Palestinian demonstrators for not seeking to cut all investment linked to Israel.

The university said it has no direct investments and less than $15 million placed with funds that might include companies in Israel, which is less than 0.1% of the total endowment.

Mark Bernstein, a member of the university’s Board of Regents, said the vandalism was “yet another assaultive act of intimidation by the antisemitic mob.”

Last spring, demonstrators wearing masks set up tents and placed fake bloody corpses outside the home of a Board of Regents member.
