Vandals Deface Harvard Statue and U. of Michigan Leaders' Homes

A statue and an administration building at Harvard and the homes of two top administrators at the University of Michigan were vandalized, apparently by protesters sympathetic to the pro-Palestinian cause.

The statue of John Harvard in Harvard Yard was drizzled with fake blood and windows were broken at University Hall early on Tuesday, after a vigil had been held in the yard for the anniversary of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

The words “intifada” and “coward” were painted on the suburban Detroit home of Santa Ono, president of the University of Michigan. The home of Erik Lundberg, the university’s chief investment officer, was vandalized as well on Monday.

A group called Unity of Fields posted a video on X that appeared to show windows at Harvard being smashed and a liquid similar to red paint being drizzled on the statue.

The terrorist supporting "Unity of Fields" posted on their telegram page:

“They also decorated the offices of the Jewish Federation of Detroit and the Michigan Israel Business Accelerator, organizations that are deeply entrenched in the apartheid state. From businesses to universities, we reject all financial support for the Israeli regime.”

The graffitied messages included “Free Palestine” and “Coward.”
