Anti-Israel Signs Vandalized at Cornell
Signs critical of Israel posted by Students for Justice in Palestine on the Cornell campus were torn down several times.
SJP originally posted the signs on the school’s Arts Quad on the morning of Oct. 29, according to a report by Cornell’s student newspaper, the Daily Sun. Another student took down the signs later that morning, which led to a confrontation with SJP.
The student who removed the signs had been under the impression that the signs were not properly authorized by the university, the Daily Sun reported, though they were.
Reposted signs were removed or destroyed several times over the rest of the week until SJP gave up and took down the signs.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
