U of Wisconsin apologizes to Jewish students after ‘Zionism is genocide’ graffiti pops up around campus

Administrators at the University of Wisconsin-Madison issued an apology to the school’s Jewish students after graffiti targeting what perpetrators called “Zionist” student groups was spotted in multiple locations around campus on the first day of the semester this week.

University officials called the graffiti antisemitic and said they did not know who had drawn it. According to local reports and images shared by the American Jewish Committee, the graffiti at one location included phrases like “Zionism is Racism” and “Zionism is Genocide,” and referenced unnamed “Zionist” organizations at the university that “have blood on their hands.”

“These labels are antisemitic: they attribute broad actions or beliefs to Jewish student groups,” UW Vice Chancellor Lori Reesor and Chief Diversity Officer LaVar J. Charleston said in a joint statement Wednesday.

“To those Jewish students and others affected, we are sorry for the impact this had on your first day of class at UW,” Reesor and Charleston continued. “We truly strive to create a campus where every student feels they belong, and this kind of messaging harms that goal and aspiration.”

Welcome back to school, Jews.

1. Seems like Zionism has a lot of support and negative reactions as well.

It seems like it's a complicated idea/movement and other things since it's existed quite awhile.

I do wish there was a way for them to peacefully exist with the Palestinians and for both groups to be able to share the resources of the West Bank area without huge conflict.
