Anti-Israel protests have turned violent at the University of California, Los Angeles, where Johnathan Perkins, the school's director of race and equity, has lamented that Jews "enjoy the benefits of whiteness" and questioned whether nations would support Israel "if the Jewish people persecuted in the Holocaust are not also considered 'white.'"

Perkins has long railed against white people, including Jews. In May 2020, he said that Jewish people "enjoy the benefits of whiteness," a position he reiterated following Hamas's Oct. 7 terror attack on the Jewish state.

"Jews are latterly white yes," he wrote in January.
