Pro-Palestinian Group Delivers Fake Eviction Notices to Rutgers Students

A group of Palestinian supporters slipped an unknown number of fake eviction notices under the doors of dorm rooms and apartments earlier this month to bring attention to the problems faced by Palestinians in the occupied territories since 1967, nj.com reports.

The Rutgers Chapter of the Students for Justice has been accused of targeting Jewish students with the fake notices, but the group denies targeted distribution, according to the report.

It even claimed to avoided distribution at the Hillel building and Les Turchin Chabad House because of their high Jewish populations, according to the report.

The group points to similar demonstrations at New York University, Yale, Harvard, Florida Atlantic and San Diego State that have been used to bring further awareness to the issue, according to the report.

The Six Day War of 1967 resulted in Israel taking over the West Bank, Gaza Strip and much of the Golan Heights, predominantly Palestinian inhabited areas.

Students were told in the fake eviction notices that they were to leave their dorm or apartment within three days, to simulate the “unrealistically harsh” harsh treatment of Palestinians since that war, according to the report.

Students were told in the third paragraph that the notice was a fake, according to the report.
