A swastika was spray-painted on one of the buildings of the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, which resides in Hebrew University�s Mount Scopus campus in Jerusalem.

This is the second time in two weeks that swastikas have been found at the Hebrew University campus. Last week, students were shocked to discover a drawing equating the Star of David to the Nazi symbol in a bathroom stall. A similar drawing was also discovered on the campus in February of this year.

�A reality in which two swastikas are discovered in the span of two weeks at a university campus in Israel�s capital is very troubling and dangerous,� said Matan Peleg, CEO of the Zionist organization Im Tirtzu.

�It is no wonder that such a thing could occur when there are professors in Hebrew University that compare IDF soldiers to Nazis and Israeli laws to laws of the Third Reich,� said Peleg referring to a recording published in June of Hebrew University Professor Ofer Cassif equating certain Israeli laws to laws passed in Nazi Germany.

�Unfortunately, many of the anti-Israel incidents that occur on campuses are bolstered by professors. This incident further illustrates the need for an academic code of ethics.�
