In what appears to be the third such incident since October 7, Jewish University of Michigan regent Jordan Acker's home and vehicle were attacked and vandalized by anti-Israel activists early this morning (Monday).
Acker is a well-known local politician in Ann Arbor and popular for his commitment to progressive values, but this did not prevent anti-Israel activists from smashing his window and vandalizing his car with "DIVEST" and "FREE PALESTINE," as well as an upside-down triangle, a popular symbol for Hamas on social media.
Michigan Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens said on X that "Jordan Acker is a dedicated public servant and he and his family should be safe in their own home. I am sickened by the anti-Semitic attack on his home last night. Vandalism, violence, and bigotry have no place in America. Enough. Our Jewish brothers and sisters deserve to live in security and peace."
Tim Walberg, a Republican Congressman for Michigan similarly condemned the act, saying that "Crime and antisemitism like this cannot be tolerated. The perpetrators must be caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
