Marc Levine retweetledi
Antisemitic chants erupted at a San Francisco press conference Wednesday when protesters shouted "Tax the Jews" for over a minute without intervention. This wasn't policy debate—it was the weaponization of dangerous stereotypes falsely portraying Jews as wealthy and greedy.
Mayor @DanielLurie was right to call this out. When hate goes unchallenged, it emboldens extremists and normalizes antisemitism. We must stand together against hate wherever it appears.

At an event this afternoon, a group of individuals that were chanting "tax the rich" began to shout "tax the Jews." This was an event I put on with Supervisor Mahmood, labor leaders, and dozens of workers to announce a plan that creates more jobs for those workers and housing for San Franciscans. Suggesting that Jews are wealthy is a tired trope, and targeting our community at an event focused on creating economic opportunity for San Franciscans is decidedly antisemitic. I will never accept hate directed at the Jewish community or any community in our city. Those are not San Francisco values—we’re better than that.
