Note Reading Gas Jew Die Left at Home of Jewish Oberlin Professor

The home of a Jewish professor at Oberlin College was vandalized and a note “Gas Jew Die” left near his front door.

The professor has been identified by police as Benjamin Kuperman, an associate professor at the school and chair of the computer science department. The incident occurred early on Thursday morning. Kuperman and his wife are Jewish.

Items on Kuperman’s front porch were damaged and the note, made of letters cut from newspapers, was stuck under the mezuzah affixed to the home’s doorpost, according to reports.

Oberlin Police Chief Juan Torres told Fox News that the act at the college, located about 35 miles southwest of Cleveland, has been elevated to a hate crime.

In an email to students, Oberlin College President Marvin Krislov called the incident: “a cowardly, hateful act.”

Sadly, many think their "love" of Israel is actually a "love" for Jews; it ain't. I see it regurgitated from the left as well as the right. Love/Hate of Israel doesn't translate one way or the other in regards to Jews. It is similar to the ones who love to parrot the "Judeo-Christian" line...yeah, if they could eliminate the "Judeo-" part, they'd do it in a skinny minute.

We must forcefully speak out against what Trump has unleashed, each and every time it rears its ugly head.
