Capital U Student Gov’t Passes Unanimous Resolution in Support of Jewish People, Israel, Following Series of Antisemitic Incidents on Campus

The student government at Ohio’s Capital University on Wednesday unanimously passed a resolution in support of the Jewish people and the state of Israel, The Algemeiner has learned.

Austin Reid, President of Capital University’s chapter of Students Supporting Israel (SSI), told The Algemeiner about “some of the more serious” incidents in the past two years that led to the resolution. For example, he said, a student’s Israeli flag was repeatedly stolen from outside his home; another student with an Israeli flag in the window received shouts of “Heil Hitler” from passersby outside; and posters for the Jewish Association were defaced with missionary slogans, such as “Isaiah 53″ and “Jesus is the only way.”

In addition, he recounted, some students have found pennies left outside their door — symbolizing the “penny-pinching” stereotype of Jews — and other statements to the effect that all Jews are rich or that Jews control banking, can be heard on campus.
