Stanford fraternity house vandalized with swastikas

(JTA) – Swastikas along with personal slurs and epithets were painted on a fraternity house on the Stanford University campus. The graffiti was discovered on the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house on Saturday night, April 25, by fraternity members, the Stanford Daily reported on its website Sunday. The incident at the Palo Alto, Calif. school comes three weeks after accusations by student government candidate Molly Horwitz that she was singled out for her Jewishness during an endorsement interview by the Students of Color Coalition.

The president of the Stanford Israel Association, senior Liana Kadisha, told the campus newspaper that there has been a rise in hostility toward Jewish groups since the Stanford Undergraduate Senate passed a controversial divestment resolution in February. She said that many student groups have refused to co-sponsor events with her group.
