Pro-Palestinian Protesters Vandalize Jewish UC Regent’s Home With Red Handprints

Demonstrators targeted Jay Sures’ Brentwood residence, accusing him of supporting Israeli policies, in an incident condemned as antisemitic by critics.

• Approximately 50 to 70 protesters from UCLA’s Graduate Students for Justice in Palestine staged a demonstration at UC Regent Jay Sures’ home early Wednesday morning.
• Protesters left red handprints on the walls of the house, a symbol critics associate with violent antisemitism, and displayed banners with threatening language and imagery.
• The group accused Sures of supporting Israeli policies and UC investments in companies allegedly tied to the oppression of Palestinians, while Sures stated the protest crossed into intimidation and threats against his family.
• University of California and the Anti-Defamation League condemned the incident, with the latter calling it an act of harassment and bigotry against a Jewish public official.
• Law enforcement monitored the protest, filed a vandalism report, and dispersed the group without making arrests.
