Antisemitic graffiti found painted on a wall on San Jose State’s campus called for the “eradication of Jews” and told students to “make Osama proud.”
The crude scrawls called for the elimination of Jews on March 11 and 12.
Another message said: “SJSU Sorry But for Allah 3/11 will be 9/11.”

Antisemitic graffiti was found scrawled on a wall at the school’s campus.
The hateful graffiti follows a recent violent attack on two Jewish men who said they were attacked because of their religion.
“What we’ve seen on this campus this week was words, not physical violence,” SJSU Jewish Faculty and Staff Association President Philip Heller told ABC 7. “We have seen physical violence in the past and my concern is that we’ll see more.”
Heller said students were offered a counseling session and no one came.
“As far as I can tell, the reason was that they didn’t think it was a good idea to get that many Jewish students together in one place on this campus during a time of threat,” Heller said.

University officials are concerned more violence will occur.
The university sent out a campus-wide message Friday afternoon saying the graffiti was removed from the campus bathroom and that no evidence has been identified to indicate a credible threat, ABC 7 reported.
