San Francisco Cafe Vandalized With Anti-Semitic Graffiti Amid Immigration Protests

Manny’s Café, located in San Francisco’s Mission District, was vandalized overnight with explicit anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic graffiti, marking the second such incident since October 7.

The owner, Manny Yekutiel, is Jewish. The restaurant does not have a kosher certification.

The graffiti appeared during protests targeting local immigration enforcement authorities. Among the messages spray-painted on the café’s windows and exterior walls were: “Death to Israel is a promise,” “Zionists will die,” and “A good settler is a dead settler.”

Photos of the vandalism circulated online Tuesday morning. While demonstrators on Monday night primarily focused on opposition to U.S. immigration policy, it remains unclear whether the attack on Manny’s was directly connected to the protests or carried out separately.

This is not the first time the café, which hosts politically charged events regularly, has been targeted. In the aftermath of Hamas’s October 7 massacre in southern Israel, the venue was similarly defaced with slogans and posters accusing its owner of Zionism and calling for boycotts.
