The bucolic campus of Cornell University in upstate New York was defaced with hateful anti-Israel graffiti Wednesday morning as some messages read “Fk Israel” and “Zionism = Racism.”
The vandalism at the Ithaca Ivy League school came several days after a professor who called the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel “exhilarating” and “energizing” went on leave.
The graffiti began on campus sidewalks before 9 a.m., according to The Cornell Review.

Messages such as “Israel is fascist,” “Free Palestine” appeared alongside more profane statements, the images showed.
The spray paint was cleaned up by university workers. It was unclear who had scribbled the hate speech, the university newspaper said.
