Vandalism against a temporary art installation erected for Brandeis University Hillel's Israel Week celebration violates the university's recently adopted principles of free expression, the university president said, according to the Times of Israel website.
The celebration took place earlier this month on the university's Great Lawn.
In one incident, graffiti that read "Free Palestine" was written on the installation. In a second, a sign that read "Stop lying to young Jews #Free Palestine" was affixed to its side.
"The targeting of Hillel, a Jewish organization, could easily lead one to interpret the acts as anti-Semitic, and the university strongly condemns anti-Semitism," Brandeis President Ron Liebowitz said in a statement published on the university's website on May 15, 2019.
