Pro-Palestine protestors at the University of California, Los Angeles, beat a piñata of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The demonstrators chanted, “Free, free Palestine” and “Beat that [expletive] Jew!”
According to political commentator Collin Rugg, another piñata “featured the face of President Joe Biden as the students appeared to also accuse him of ‘genocide’ in Gaza.”

The incident is the latest antisemitic event to occur on United States university campuses.
Several billionaire donors have pulled support from universities amid rising cases of antisemitism.
Jewish billionaire and philanthropist Henry Sweica resigned from the Board of Columbia Business School, claiming the Ivy League university displayed “moral cowardice.”
“To my deep regret, the reputation and integrity of Columbia University, and by extension Columbia Business School, have been significantly compromised by a moral cowardice that appears beyond repair,” he wrote in a letter, according to Fox News.
“This is abhorrent,” Sweica added. “Any other minority group on campus would never have to face anything close to this level of intimidation and hatred of Jewish and pro-Israel students experience.”
“With blatantly anti-Jewish student groups and professors allowed to operate with complete impunity, it sends a clear and distressing message that Jews are not just unwelcome, but also unsafe on campus,” he noted.
