Oh, I see what they did there - they don't like something that took place on foreign soil, so they harass students in NY that had zilch to do with what they don't like? If I were in charge, I would expel them. It's all fine an dandy to protest or make your feelings known on campus, but it's a game changer as soon as you start targeting individuals.
A pro-Palestinian NYU group targeted Jewish classmates with threatening “eviction” notices that were slid under dorm-room doors in the dead of night, students said Thursday.
“If you do not vacate the premise by midnight on 25 April, 2014 we reserve the right to destroy all remaining belongings. We cannot be held responsible for property or persons remaining inside the premises,” read the notices, which were delivered by members of the Students for Justice in Palestine.
NYU sophomore Hunter Goet, whose room got one of the threatening notices overnight Wednesday, said, “A lot of people felt transgressed upon because they felt threatened by it.”
“They felt like their housing was being threatened. It was a massive source of panic.”
The activist student group targeted Palladium Hall on East 14th Street because it is widely believed to house the most Jewish residents — and even has a special elevator that works without pressing buttons on the Sabbath, reported the Times of Israel.
The warnings conclude, “THIS IS NOT A REAL EVICTION NOTICE” — and the group said they were replicas of notices routinely left at the homes of Palestinians by the Israeli government.
NYU spokesman John Beckman said that while the school encourages open discussion, the prank crossed the line.
