Pro-Palestine protesters rally outside the former home of Brentwood at the University of California Regent Jonathan “Jay” and shared local reports and photos on social media, in which he banners hanging on the hedge, painting handprints on the red wall.
According to Daily Bruin, the protests lasted from 6 to 8 o’clock and were organized by graduate students at the Palestinian Justice at the University of California, Los Angeles. The student group shared videos of the protests on its Instagram account, along with Suses’s face, calling him “OPP”, the word “OPP” against the enemy, and “an unelected official responsible for protecting genocide and UC invests in manufacturing in weapons.”
A LAPD spokesman said Los Angeles police responded to calls about pro-Palestinian protesters on a residential street in Brentwood around 6:15 a.m. Wednesday. Upon arrival, officers found a group of 50 to 100 protesters blocking streets and driveways and continuing to monitor the situation. The spokesman said the UCLA Police Department had vandalized.
Jewish Surez told Deadline that he believes his goal is his outspoken support for the Israeli state and the protection of Jewish students. He said this was the first time protesters came to his house and he thought they had crossed a line.
“Peaceful protests are one thing, but going to the administrator or the Regent’s house violates a hundred feet rule, which is what Los Angeles does, disturbing the community by beating drums to surround my wife’s car and preventing her from being free Moving, posting signs, threatening my family and my life and destroying the house, it was a big upgrade,” he told Deadline.
Videos and photos shared on social media show LAPD officials gathered in masks, chanting scriptures and beating drums during protests. “Disclosure, evacuation, we won’t stop, we won’t rest,” the banner of Suses hedging reads: “Disclosure, evacuation, we won’t stop, we won’t rest,” a popular rally for those who believe in divesting companies that do business with the state of Israel.

“Again, a civil servant is the target of harassment and intimidation, which is the target of a Jewish Regent,” Greenblatt said. “Protesters called for the elimination of the State of Israel in front of the UC Regent Jay Sures home, It’s unacceptable.”
Sures is vice chairman of the United Talent Bureau and one of the 18 members appointed by the governor to the UC Board of Trustees.
Sures also told Deadline that he believes the recent protests against him are related to a letter he wrote to the UC Board of Directors in 2023, condemning a UC Ethnic Studies faculty Council that has written to the board of directors, accusing the UCLA of outbreak There is a biased communication. Israel-Hamas War.
The UCLA administrative communication “distorts and distorts the ongoing development of Palestinian genocide in Gaza, thus promoting racist and dehumanizing Palestinian daily reality,” the faculty committee wrote.
In response, the letter is “a false event about Israel and seeking to legitimize and defend the horrible barbarity of the October 7 Holocaust.”
“The manifestation of how the Regent profits from genocide and the police hold different interests on our campuses,” Palestinian judicial graduate student wrote on Instagram on Wednesday.
Members of the student body have long asked the Regent to support their call for the university system to boycott the university system and to evacuate all companies that operate with Israel – demanding that the UC system object.
“University of California has always opposed boycotts and divestment,” UC president said in an April 2024 statement. “While the university affirms the right of members of our community to express various views, this boycott has affected our Academic freedom of students and faculty and the exchange of ideas that are unrestricted on our campus.
