Anti-Israel Graffiti Found on College Campus Not a Hate Crime, AG Says
On 5/14/21 at 3:06 PM EDT
Earlier this month, after anti-Israel graffiti was found on a Maine college campus, an upset, anonymous party contacted college administrators, calling the incident a hate crime. But the state attorney general s office, after completing its review, decided late last week that the incident didn t qualify as a hate crime.
The graffiti was found on May 9 at Bates College, a liberal arts college in Lewiston, Maine. The graffiti, which was reportedly done with chalk, consisted of phrases such as Stop ethnic cleansing, Free Palestine and Israel is killing innocent people, according to pictures in a student organization s Instagram post.
