San Francisco Hillel Vandalized with Antisemitic Graffiti Referencing Historic Battle

The attack, which included attempts to break into the building, has drawn condemnation from local leaders and Jewish organizations.

Graffiti referencing 'Khaybar,' a historic battle between Muslims and Jews, was spray-painted on the San Francisco Hillel House near San Francisco State University.
Additional graffiti included symbols for communism and anarchism, as well as the phrase 'death to Western imperialism,' and vandals attempted to force entry into the building.
The term 'Khaybar' is often chanted at anti-Israel protests and is seen as a threat of violence against Jews, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
Mayor Daniel Lurie and other local leaders, including State Sen. Scott Wiener, condemned the incident, emphasizing the need to combat antisemitism on college campuses.
The San Francisco Hillel House and Jewish organizations reaffirmed their commitment to supporting Jewish students and called for increased efforts to ensure campus safety.
