How the Bay Area became a nexus for the growing Jewish-Hindu alliance. We reported it out: joint festivals, shared voter guides, and an bond forged partly by Oct. 7. We also found plenty of left-wing push back in both communities.
We just published a big story here at @jewishsf. Leslie Wexner is a giant of Jewish philanthropy. He was also close to Epstein for many years. A group of Bay Area alumni of the highly prestigious fellowship he funds are calling for a reckoning.

NEW and 🧵: Here's a deep dive into anti-Zionist activism at the renowned medical school and hospital system UCSF, activism that has increasingly leaked from the campus quad and social media into hospital rooms and patient areas.
We are disheartened by this poorly worded statement from San Francisco Pride.
We call on @SFPride to clarify that everyone, including LGBTQ+ Israelis, are welcome at Pride.
No one should be singled out because of their ethnic identity.
NEW: The Stanford pro-Palestinian encampment announced plans to host an imam tonight who has advocated for a global Muslim caliphate and who has spread "naked" antisemitism, per @splcenter and video published online. In @jewishsf

Followers: Please be careful when following anonymous accounts (in general), but specifically @Jewsarethegoat. This account is currently engaged in a defamatory smear campaign against a colleague. I'm going to @ a few of my mutuals so they are aware. It's a dangerous account.
@Jewsarethegoat@EmmaAudreyGoss This is utterly false and defamatory information about my colleague @EmmaAudreyGoss. It is designed to harass and intimidate her. Emma is a solid, fair, responsible journalist who adheres to the highest standards of our craft. Don't let this account fool you.
@Jewsarethegoat@EmmaAudreyGoss ‼️URGENT PLEASE SHARE ‼️ This mysterious, anonymous account is attacking my colleague
@EmmaAudreyGoss with false rumors as retaliation for her tough and fair reporting. I guarantee the account WILL NOT name itself because its attacks are absolutely bogus.
NEW: Pro-Palestinian demonstrators "shut down" a guest lecture at UC Berkeley last night, in what a university spokesperson called a "mob." Police were overwhelmed, and Jewish students evacuated the building in an underground passageway. In @jewishsf

WATCH: For weeks, California State Senator @Scott_Wiener has been subject to an onslaught of harassment both in-person and online, including the assertion that "your whole bloodline's cowards."
In social media videos posted this week, Sen. Wiener is seen sitting on a plane with an inverted red triangle above his head, a symbol used by Hamas to identify their targets. He is chased and called a "genocide profiteer." His car is mobbed by a crowd of angry "activists" screaming "you're killing babies!"
Targeted harassment of our Jewish elected officials is wrong, dangerous and antisemitic. It must stop. We stand firmly behind Sen. Wiener and thank him for being a steadfast leader in our community.
