The Temple chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity say, while they’re upset, they are not intimidated by the vandalism. They say it only speaks to the continuous tension they face on a daily basis.
The Jewish fraternity on Temple’s campus has been the victim of vandalism. Members of the historically Jewish college fraternity are reeling from the recent discovery of vandalism on the roof of their frat house. The words "Free Palestine" were spray-painted in black across their roof."We never thought it would get to the point where we would be vandalized, that someone would trespass onto our roof and vandalize our roof," member Zachary Fajge said.
I also don’t think it’s valid to claim this is antisemitism. I think it was straight vandalism, but I don’t think it connects to Judaism as a culture and a religion."Roommate Ben Boland, both Jewish, agree. "I have never felt threatened as a Jewish person on campus. Certainly not by anyone supporting Palestine," Boland stated.
