Jewish university students woke up this week to find evictions notices had been stuck to their bedroom doors in support of Palestine.

Several mock eviction notices were stuck on student dorm rooms at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, on the morning of April 2.

The notices told students that ‘eviction notices are routinely given to Palestinian families living under Israeli occupation for no other reason than their ethnicity’ and have been branded racist and anti-Semitic.

Emory Hillel director Dave Cohn told the Algemeiner that there wasn’t any evidence indicating that Jewish students were specifically targeted by the notices.

In an email he said the community would defend the safety of students ‘from this intrusion on their privacy and security’.

The university told Algemeiner that the notices were taken down because they violated the university’s posting guidelines.

It also said permission was not given for them to be posted on students’ doors and they are determining the next course of action.

Emory Students for Justice in Palestine have not yet responded to requests for comment.
