The San Francisco Hillel House near San Francisco State University was the target of antisemitic vandalism, as discovered by its staff on Monday morning. Spray-painted messages and signs of attempted forced entry marred the building on Banbury Street, raising alarm among local leaders and the San Francisco State University campus community. According to a Facebook post by the center, as per the San Francisco Chronicle, there is "no room for hate or antisemitism of any kind on college campuses, or directed toward organizations that serve Jewish students."

In the wake of the vandalism, San Francisco Mayor-elect Daniel Lurie took to social media to strongly condemn the attack, asserting, "Acts of antisemitic vandalism, like the attack on SF Hillel, have no place in San Francisco." His statement, which further emphasized the city's united stance against all forms of hate, was shared on multiple platforms. Meanwhile, the Anti-Defamation League's regional director, Marc Levine, labeled the incident "nothing short of antisemitic," as per the CBS News Bay Area.

Acts of antisemitic vandalism, like the attack on SF Hillel, have no place in San Francisco. Hillel is a vital community hub for students across our city. We must stand united against hate in all forms and work to ensure every resident feels safe.
