"I'm deeply troubled and saddened to have our community attacked like this," Manny's owner Manny Yekutiel told the SF Standard. "Vandalizing a Jewish-owned business on the eve of the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust is disgusting and has no place in the city of Saint Francis."
"While it was largely peaceful, the SF Standard notes that the event space Manny's was thoroughly tagged with graffiti by the protesters, not for the first time, indicating a troubling trend of anti-Semitic expressions in the context of Palestinian solidarity events."
"Today is the one-year anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel that killed 1,200 Israelis and took another 250 hostage. In the year since, the prolonged Israeli response has killed an estimated 42,000 Palestinians, highlighting the deeply contentious and complex realities surrounding the ongoing conflict."
