Jewish Professor Finds Swastikas Painted On Her Office Walls

Yeshiva World News

The NYPD has launched an investigation into a possible hate crime after a Columbia University professor’s office was vandalized with two spray-painted swastikas and a derogatory word aimed at Jewish people.

Professor Elizabeth Midlarsky, who is Jewish and has published various articles related to the Holocaust, told CNN, “I opened the outer door and almost passed out,” when she saw the two swastikas spray-painted in red.

Midlarsky, who has worked at the university’s Teachers College for 28 years, reported the incident to security and received support from staff before being brought home by a van.

Midlarsky was a victim of a similar incident in 2007, when a swastika was spray-painted on her office door and anti-Semitic flyers dropped in her mailbox, according to the Daily Spectator. The vandals had also written her name and crossed it out, the Daily News reported.

While police are continuing their investigation into who committed the vandalism, Teachers College president Thomas Bailey issued a statement.

“We unequivocally condemn any expression of hatred, which has no place in our society,” the statement said. “We are outraged and horrified by this act of aggression and use of this vile anti-Semitic symbol against a valued member of our community.”

    And so the mask is off of the left wing socialist agenda. They reveal an anti-Semitism, that is cloaked in a Paelstinian agenda, but is really about removing Jews from Israel and removing Jews from top universities through intimidation and fear. Free speech protesters have turned into disruptors of the free speech of others. The wolves have jumped too quickly and have revealed again their true nature while preying on what they perceived was weak and ready to be hunted.

  • Now it's obvious!
