BOSTON (JTA) -- Posters put up on the Harvard campus by student supporters of Israel reportedly were vandalized.

On a poster about Zionism and the importance of a Jewish homeland in Israel, vandals wrote "Palastine 300 Years," according to the Harvard Crimson newspaper.

The phrases "Occuppants of Pro-War" and "Israeli Propaganda" defaced posters about the Camp David peace accords. The misspellings prompted the belief that the vandals were not from Harvard. "Most Harvard kids know how to spell Palestine,'' one student told the paper.

Concert raises funds for U.S. terror victims

NEW YORK (JTA) -- Some $20,000 was raised in honor of two Americans killed last July in a Palestinian terrorist bombing at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

The funds, raised at a concert held Sunday night at New York's Knitting Factory, are being donated to the Marla Bennett and Ben Blutstein Memorial Scholarship Funds at the Jerusalem-based Pardes Institute.

Bennett, a U.C. Berkeley graduate, and Blutstein were enrolled in the Pardes educators program when they were killed in the attack.
