I experienced an anti-Arab hate incident on the steps of City Hall in San Francisco today; during the Board of Supervisors meeting in which Arab American Heritage Month was recognized.
I’m sharing my experience & recommendations on what to do if this happens to you.

🧵As AIPAC faces growing opposition, pro-Israel donors are looking for other ways to push pro-Israel policy around the globe. U.S. donors are funneling millions to AIPAC's protege in Europe: Elnet, whose U.S. nonprofit arm has raked in millions since Oct 7 theintercept.com/2025/12/15/e...
Meet the U.S. Donors Funding ELNET, the AIPAC of Europe
These U.S. funders are exporting the same tactics that help AIPAC crush support for Palestinians to Europe.

Don’t worry, Biden’s legacy will be enshrined in every museum dedicated to the Gaza genocide. That’s all that will be remembered of his presidency and 50 year political career — that he armed & enabled genocide because he prioritized one group of people over a group who he considered to be subhuman.
“The Biden staff, they ruined any type of good library for him,” Mr. Morgan said. “He’ll be lucky to have a bookmobile.”

A few years ago, I visited the Kingdom of Jordan.
My goal was to experience Petra, a world wonder. The tour I opted into gave me an incredible experience beyond what I expected that showcased the incredible diversity, culture, beauty & historical significance of Jordan. ⬇️

8 months ago, I wrote an op-ed about anti-Palestinian racism anchored in an incident I experienced on the steps of SF City Hall as I headed to make public comment in support of Arab American Heritage Month.
The op-ed was held in limbo for a few months but never closed out. 🧵

Israel hunted a 70 year old lady down with a gun drone and then hoovered above to make sure she bled out next to her dying son. They both join almost 1,000 Palestinians Israel has massacred or maimed in its genocide during the "ceasefire".

All @scottwiener.bsky.social has done for the last three years is enable Israel and punch down at critics of Israel in his district. And expect all of us to be too scared of him to bring it up. We’re not going to do that anymore

Misdirecting anger by shouting at a 23 year old aide because her boss didn’t show up for a hearing is abusive & inappropriate behavior.
Attempting to spin it as “stern” & “assertive” rather than acknowledging the harm & apologizing is not leadership.

I can’t think of another campaign during my time in San Francisco politics that has hit this milestone. 🔥
Earlier this year, I said we’d be building the largest canvassing operation in San Francisco. And we've done just that. Our 2,000+ volunteers knocked 100,000 doors in the last five months!

Two years into Israel's genocide in Gaza, the anti-Palestinian racism that has been accepted and normalized in Zionist circles is now an actual political liability in San Francisco.
Case in point: Manny Yekutiel and the District 8 Supervisor race.

Co-sign. The fact that Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza is not just an opinion. It's the conclusion of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, Genocide Watch, Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, the UN, and many others.
