The charges do not mention the content of the posters.

We need to know what the posters say.

nvm they are transcribed in this article

https://www.campustimes.org/2024/11/13/wanted-posters-accusing-university-affiliates-displayed-throughout-campus/

and from this article

Following administration’s response, the University’s chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) released a counterstatement addressing widespread claims of the posters’ antisemitic intentions.

“Antisemitism is bigotry or hatred against Jewish people on the basis of their identity and we unequivocally oppose it,” the JVP statement read. “It is not, however, antisemitic to criticize the Israeli government and military that is committing war crimes.”

they’re being charged with felony criminal mischief

these students had been charged with criminal mischief in the second degree, but that the crime doesn’t fit the qualifications of a hate crime.

So Criminal Mischief is basically vandalism? Because they hung paper on walls of a private building? What is local law enforcement thinking?
