Jewish NYU students targeted by pro-Palestine activists: report

Jewish students living in an NYU dorm woke up Thursday to find threatening mock eviction notices left by pro-Palestinian activists, it was reported on Thursday...

“If you do not vacate the premise by midnight on 25 April, 2014 we reserve the right to destroy all remaining belongings. We cannot be held responsible for property or persons remaining inside the premises...

The “warnings” conclude “THIS IS NOT A REAL EVICTION NOTICE” in all capital letters, and the pro-Palestinian students said they were just replicas of notices routinely left at the homes of Palestinians by the Israeli government...

“Being very straightforward, this made me feel targeted and unsafe in my own dorm room and I know others feel exactly the same as myself. I understand free speech rights but if this was targeted solely to Jewish students then this appears to be of a more threatening nature rather than informative,”
Thinking that was exactly the point. If you feel "targeted" and "threatened" by the notice, imaging the folks who get it in real life.
