According to allegations, Arabs in Rupin College ripped mezuzos from doorposts and threw them in toilets. In a letter signed by student named Dovev Waltzman he writes “I am a student in Rupin. I wish to make certain events known, something that occurred on campus grounds. A number of days ago I learned of a shocking horrific act which was permitted to pass quietly by the school’s administration.”
“The house father realized that a number of mezuzos from classrooms doors disappeared. He began investigating and to my sorrow, he learned the mezuzos were thrown in toilets. It appears two 19-year-old minority (term used for Arabs) students are responsible. The administration expelled only one of them.”
Waltzman continues, explaining he is a “proud Jew” and questions how such an act can occur in the Jewish country and how the school administration’s response can by so minimal. A response from the college was not available at the time of this report.

for every mezuzah they riped off doors there should be a PUBLIC burning of 5 korans
Where is Rupin College?
Perhaps Hashem is telling us to be careful in the mitzvah of mezuzah.
Seems like a hate crime and should be treated that way
Waltzman is (along with many, many others) mistaken in that assumption that they are in a “Jewish country”. In fact, Israel is a Zionist country, not a Jewish country.
To Zionists, Judaism is only useful insofar as it aids in promoting Zionism.
so tell me, where is Rupin College?
