Yale University condemned the “desecration” of a menorah near its campus after a Palestinian flag was placed on it over the weekend as pressure on top universities to address a rise in antisemitic incidents in their communities continues to mount. Video of the Yale incident shows a person wearing a keffiyeh around their face and head, which disguised their identity, climbing on the menorah and placing a Palestinian flag on it, while four others can be seen heading to the menorah and are heard telling the person to get down. The flag was immediately removed, according to Jake Dressler, an attorney who was at the event with a friend who took the video and shared it with CNN. The incident took place in a public space that is off the Yale campus during a demonstration sponsored by several groups in Connecticut, according to the school. #cnn #hanukkah #menorah #isreal
