Students for Justice in Palestine at SJSU Condemn UC Davis Vandalism
Students for Justice in Palestine at San Jose State University Condemn UC Davis Vandalism
Dear San Jose Community,
As a coalition of students and campus organizations at SJSU, we condemn the actions taken sometime during the night of January 31st, 2015 by an unknown person(s) who defaced the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity house at UC Davis, which is a Jewish interest fraternity, with swastikas.
Just as we condemned the hanging of a noose, the defamation of the Palestinian dove, or calling students ‘terrorists’ based on their physical appearance or beliefs, we equally condemn the display of the swastika. This reminds us that anti-Semitism, along with all other forms of hate, including, but not limited to, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, racism, and misogyny, still exist and are rampant trans-nationally and on our university campuses.
We reject any attempts to blame this on any single student community, including the UC Davis Divestment movement. We hope that the university investigates and exercises due diligence in holding those responsible for this hate crime to the fullest extent of the law.
Sincerely,
Students for Justice in Palestine Team
