“Holocaust 2.0”.

Thursday’s protest was organized and publicized by Students for Justice in Palestine Instagram.
“Come out and sit in Hornbake Plaza to call for a ceasefire and reiterate our demands to the university [sic] of Maryland administration!!!” the group posted.
“Bring flags, kuffiyahs and chalk!!” the assistants urged. “Being on the right side of history AGAINST GENOCIDE.”
In a statementthe University of Maryland condemned “anti-Semitic sentiment.”
“We are aware of the hateful and anti-Semitic sentiment expressed at today’s demonstration by Students for Justice in Palestine. We condemn it in no uncertain terms,” the university said. “The offensive actions of a few should not reflect on the vast majority of protesters who were there to peacefully express their views, but there is no place for any anti-Semitic message, behavior or action at the University of Maryland.”
The school promised there would be accountability.
“The University of Maryland Police Department (UMPD) has begun an immediate investigation and continues to conduct real-time threat assessments,” he said. “Responsible parties will be held accountable.”

In a joint statement with Jewish groups at the University of Maryland, the D.C. chapter of the Anti-Defamation League called the hateful graffiti “unacceptable.”
“We are deeply concerned that students at the University of Maryland yesterday encountered anti-Semitic graffiti that read, ‘Holocaust 2.0,'” the statement said. “These images are deeply troubling whether they were intended to trivialize the Holocaust or were seen as a direct threat against Jewish students. Either way, it is dangerous and unacceptable.”
