Media super agent Jay Sures has slammed a group of anti-Israel protesters who vandalized his California home and surrounded his wife’s car on Wednesday in what he said was a frightening ordeal for his family. 

Sures, the vice chair of United Talent Agency and University of California (UC) Board of Regents member, told Fox News Digital that the group swarmed the outside of his Brentwood home and plastered his garage doors with red handprints along with banners he said contained death threats.  

He and his wife were home at the time and when she tried to leave in her car, the group surrounded the vehicle, Sures recalled. 

“When my wife tried to leave our house, they surrounded her car for 15 minutes, she was absolutely terrified,” said Sures, a staunch supporter of Israel who was influential in UC’s decision to ban political statements from the university homepages of its departments.

campus. They said the regents have kicked them out of their meetings, canceled forums for public comment and “criminalized” attempts to protest investment policies. 

“We have taken our issues straight to the regents because they have systematically militarized our campus in response. Over the last eight months, Jay Sures has led the UC’s efforts in suppressing pro-Palestine speech and expression on-campus, including through increased militarization and draconian time, place and manner (TPM) policies.”

In November 2023, Sures criticized a faculty council that defended Hamas’ attack on Israel in a letter and demanded UC administrators stop calling the attacks “terrorism.” The faculty council letter called on UC leadership to retract the “charges of terrorism, to uplift the Palestinian freedom struggle, and to stand against Israel’s war crimes against and ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Palestinian people.”

Stett Holbrook, a spokesperson for the university’s president, condemned the protest.

“Yesterday, the private residence of UC Regent Jay Sures was vandalized, and his family and neighbors were harassed,” Holbrook told the Daily Bruin.

“The University strongly supports freedom of speech and the rights of our community members to participate in nonviolent protests, and we condemn all crimes and harassment committed against members of our UC community.”
