Jordan Acker is a University of Michigan regent who is Jewish. Over the course of several months, he and his family have been subjected to an ongoing campaign of terror from pro-Hamas radicals at the school.
In May, some of these people showed up at his home in the middle of the night and posted a list of demands on his door. His law office has also been vandalized.
This week, things escalated when jars of urine were thrown through a window of his home, breaking the window and waking his family in the middle of the night. Antisemitic messages were also left at the home and painted on his wife’s car.
It should be noted that throwing jars of urine is a known practice of Antifa.
The Jewish Insider reports:
University of Michigan Regent Jordan Acker faces another antisemitic attack at his homeUniversity of Michigan Regent Jordan Acker woke early Monday morning to find that his home in Huntington Woods, a heavily Jewish suburb of Detroit, had been the target of anti-Israel vandals for the second time in just over six months. Acker’s law office was also vandalized over the summer.During the overnight attack, a window in the Acker home was smashed and his wife’s car was graffitied with the words “divest” and “free Palestine.” In addition, authorities found fragments of a glass jar inside the house along with a foul-smelling liquid as well as a second jar outside of the home. The attack unfolded while Acker, his wife and three daughters were asleep.“This keeps happening to my family because I’m Jewish,” Acker told Jewish Insider. “There are other, more prominent, regents on this board who do not face this type of targeted harassment, and the reason they do not is because they are not Jewish.”Acker expressed disappointment in an interview with JI over the silence from university groups, such as The Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs, who he said “have decided to put out statements about Gaza, and yet never put out a statement about situations like this. I haven’t heard from anyone there today. Being privately appalled doesn’t stop your students from engaging in behaviors like this. Public statements do.”
Here’s a video report from Click on Detroit:
This is no longer a local news story. As Acker suggests in the video, this is terrorism. It’s criminal activity, and even members of Congress are taking notice.
This goes way beyond suspension or even expulsion. The people behind this campaign of terror must be arrested and prosecuted.
