Elijah Wiesel, a sophomore who saw the graffiti, told JNS that, while the incident does not appear to have had much campus impact, it seems to reflect “broader Jew-hatred on campus.”
Elijah Wiesel, a sophomore studying global affairs at Yale University, told JNS that he was “mildly annoyed” when he came across anti-Israel graffiti in the snow on campus on the morning of Feb. 18, but he is “pretty jaded to these things by now.”
Wiesel, who was headed to a Shacharit morning prayer service, shared photos of the graffiti with JNS, which showed the words “abolish ICE Free Palestine,” “Gaza dies Yale profits,” and “There was no ceasefire” spray-painted in red on Yale’s Cross Campus.
He said he heard there was also anti-Israel graffiti at the private Ivy League school’s Old Campus, which was removed before he could document it.
