Sures' response is part of a broader UC + political establishment campaign to equate anti-Zionism with antisemitism and delegitimize protest.

We already beat Sures once in court. We'll fight anyone trying to suppress anyone in this movement. Come to court tomorrow to learn more and get involved.

Sures’ filing follows the repression playbook:

Reframe dissent as crime

Allege all criticism of Israel is antisemitic

Misuse hate-crime statutes

Ignore protest’s true target.

Sures paints the protest as a terrifying siege.

But when UAW workers demonstrated at his house, he filed nothing, said nothing, and had no problem.

📌 This is the Palestine Exception to Free Speech: a different set of rules when the message is solidarity with Gaza.

Overshadowing his claims of bias, Sures’ lawyers went out of their way to insert racial slurs into pleadings and say them aloud in court to “prove” protestors were threatening.

Dropping it in a court record was manipulative and irrelevant to the protest at his home, but shows how they think.

Just like how Sures responded to concern for UC students and providing context, Sures tried to recast protest as “hate” to shut down Palestine solidarity organizing.
This is part of a national playbook erasing the difference between anti-Zionism and antisemitism.

Criticizing a UC Regent for funding genocide is political speech, especially Jay Sures.

When UC professors said the University's blind support for Israel had put Muslim, Arab, and Palestinian students at risk, Jay Sures said they were legitimizing terrorism.

UC faculty group stood with Palestinians. That 'legitimized' Hamas 'terrorism,' regent says
UC Regent Jay Sures blasted the Ethnic Studies Faculty Council's letter condemning 'Israel's war crimes' as full of 'falsehoods, inaccuracies, and antisemitic innuendos.'

Among other outrageous claims, Sures said a banner with pigs with cop hats was an antisemitic slur.

There’s a long history of pigs as symbols of police. Sures sits on the board of the LAPD Police Foundation.

It's a direct critique of policing, not antisemitism.

Sures is Vice Chair of United Talent Agency, a Regent, and one of the most powerful people in CA.

He guides investments profiting from genocide.

Students protested him for that.

He says it's not about genocide, it's bc he's Jewish.

This is the playbook. Smear anyone who calls out mass death.

FYI you seem to have miscalculated the landing times in ES when converting them to Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). El Salvador is 2 hours behind EDT right now because they are still on CST (not CDT) as ES doesn’t observe daylight savings. This means they landed at 7:36p & 8:02p EDT.

Warren also told the story of the time he met up with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s chairman, Dave Archambault, to try to pay him to end the pipeline fight, in December 2016.

Warren said Archambault told him he couldn’t. 2/
