Texas Anti-Semitism

Anti-semitic violence has tripled since 1981 at the University of Texas, according to anti-defamation officials there, and a recent spate of vandalism and violence has students there particularly concerned.

Last month slogans of "Fuck You Jews" and "Jews Are Swines" were painted on one predominantly Jewish fraternity house, swastikas and anti-semitic slogans were spray-painted on another, and the Jewish vice president of the university's Students' Association said he received a threatening phone call.

Students speculated that the incidents were connected to recent widely publicized celebrations of Israel Independence Day and Israel Awareness Week. --The Daily Texas
