Bryn Mawr College Hit With Anti-Israel Graffiti on Alumni Weekend
“If a criminal offense is confirmed, those involved will face the full consequences of the law”
This should do wonders for donations to the school. What a mess.

College’s alumni weekend hit by anti-Israel graffiti; school pres. doesn’t divulge details
Pro-Palestinian activists struck at the end of Bryn Mawr College’s alumni weekend last Sunday, spray-painting graffiti on campus buildings and wrecking various pieces of “rental property.”
In an email message, Bryn Mawr President Wendy Cadge said the local police department was notified about the incidents and “immediately opened an investigation.”
“If a criminal offense is confirmed, those involved will face the full consequences of the law,” Cadge wrote. “The College concurrently launched an internal investigation, and any breach of college policies or the Honor Code will be addressed through appropriate disciplinary measures.”
However, Cadge did not reveal precisely what had transpired; the college also “declined” to tell The Philadelphia Inquirer “what the graffiti entailed or what property was destroyed,” saying it had “no further information at this time” but would add an update upon “learn[ing] more.”
On June 5 however, the Bryn Mawr and Haverford College student paper The Bi-College News reported the graffiti was “pro-Palestinian” in nature and included the slogans “BLOOD MONEY,” “FUCK BRYN MAWR,” and “YOU FUND GENOCIDE” (pictured).
It also noted pro-Hamas graffiti had been scrawled on golf carts and “rented tents,” the former of which also had their tires slashed.
On the same day as its graffiti story, the paper also ran a letter to the editor titled “Anti-Zionism is not Antisemitism” by Temple University Professor of Religion Rebecca Alpert, author of “Like Bread on the Seder Plate: Jewish Lesbians and the Transformation of Tradition.”
Alpert pointed out her talk at Haverford last year — in which she noted she and other Jews do not “stand with Israel” as they are against its “wildly disproportionate response” to October 7, 2023 — caught the attention of the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Education and the Workforce.

Rebecca T. Alpert is a theologian, but the gods she worships are Eris and her children, the Phonoi.
Dear Albert. Antizionism is antisemitism. It’s plain and simple. It’s criticism of Israel’s government behavior that may not be antisemitism but usually is.
BTW: There is no such thing as a Jewish lesbian no matter how many books you write. You want to be a lesbian. Fine. Dye your hair all you want. However you can’t be a Jewish lesbian.
Rebecca Alpert’s tolerance of rape and infanticide is much higher when it concerns people far away from her. To her, rape, decapitation, mutilation and baby burning should be dealt with in a kind understanding loving way. Jewish suffering is rife with Rebecca Alperts and their misunderstanding of human nature due to their self consumption.
