Anthony Damon Wray, 46, of Melbourne, Fla., is seen in this photograph Wednesday, May 15, 2024, outside a coffee shop in Gainesville near the University of Florida campus. Wray is part of a Messianic Jewish hip hop group called Hazakim Ð whose social media accounts include anti-Muslim memes and comments Ð with his older brother, Michael Kenneth Wray, 48, of Rockledge, Fla. For nearly one month, Anthony Wray had misrepresented himself as a concerned Muslim in conversations with at least three Muslim professors at the university Ð including the schoolÕs new Teacher of the Year Ð in apparent attempts to goad them into criticizing Israel and conservative political leaders amid pro-Palestinian protests.
