Members of Alpha Epsilon Pi, a Jewish fraternity at the University of California, Davis, awoke Saturday to see their home covered in Nazi graffiti.
According to fraternity leaders, the timing of the vandalism is no coincidence, occurring just two days after the UC Davis student senate passed a motion pressuring the university to divest from companies that have ties with Israel.
“[T]his is not out of the blue,” Joshua Wortsman, president-elect of AEPI, told CBS Sacramento. “We’re pretty sure this is directly related.”
Following passage of the divestment motion, student senator Azka Fayyaz, a member of UC Davis’s Students for Justice in Palestine, posted a photo on Facebook of students waving the Palestinian flag with the caption "Hamas and Shariah law have taken over UC Davis. BRB crying over the resilience.”
