University of Michigan Regent Says Home, Car Vandalized in Antisemitic Attack

By    |   Monday, 09 December 2024 06:58 PM EST

University of Michigan Regent Jordan Acker said his home and car were vandalized Sunday in an apparent antisemitic attack.

"This is a threat, okay, and this is a threat that Hamas does when they're going to kill people," Acker said in a social media post along with photos of his vehicle spray-painted with the words, "Free Palestine" in red and the inside of his homes' windows smashed.

"In the very early hours of this morning, while my wife, my three young daughters and I were asleep in our beds, we were awakened by the sound of two heavy [objects] thrown through the front window of our house," Acker said.

While my eldest daughter ran into our room, frightened by the sound of breaking glass, I ran downstairs, saw the broken window, and then ran outside to find my wife's car had been graffitied by anti-Semitic vandals. This is the third time that I — and now my family — have been the target of these Klan-like tactics. We all need to call out this cowardly act attacking my family and my home for what it truly is — terrorism. And like we always do in this great nation when we're confronted with terrorism — I will not let fear win. All this does is harden my resolve to continue to do the right thing for the University and the Michigan voters who elected me."

Acker in his post called on members of the Michigan community "to publicly repudiate this vile anti-Semitic intimidation, and to offer full support to law enforcement to root out these bigots so they see the consequences for their actions."
