Media agent and University of California Board of Regents member Jay Sures criticized a faculty council that defended Hamas' attack on Israel and demanded UC administrators stop calling the attacks 'terrorism.' 'There are absolutely no words to describe how appalling and repugnant I found your ,' Sures wrote in response to an Oct.
Sures said the council and its signatories 'have demonstrated no empathy for Jewish life' and have instead 'willingly chosen to be surrogates and supporters for Hamas' destructive actions.' He noted that the council's letter was sent at a time when Jewish students are facing increased hostility.
Sures closed by urging the council to retract its previous statements, condemn Hamas' attack and 'commit to learning more about antisemitism and all forms of hate.' The UC system consists of 10 campuses serving nearly 300,000 students across California. A university spokesperson told Fox News that Board of Regents Chair Richard Leib and President Michael V. Drake stand by their initial statement condemning Hamas’ attack when asked about the ethnic studies letter.
