(Jewish Group) Protesters block access to Israel's San Francisco consulate on Yom HaShoah

More than a dozen demonstrators blocked access to the Israeli Consulate in downtown San Francisco on Tuesday afternoon to protest U.S. military aid to Israel.

In total the protest brought about 50 people to the Israeli consulate building, according to press reports. Some activists used a chain and pipes to link themselves together in front of the building’s main entrance for roughly two hours beginning at 5 p.m. They wore shirts that read, “75 years of Israeli war crimes,” referencing the 75th anniversary of Israel’s founding, and chanted: “Palestine will be free, from the river to the sea.”

Yom HaAtzmaut, or Israel Independence Day, starts the evening of April 25 this year.

Police were present but no arrests were made, according to Savanna Schwartz, director of press and communications for the consulate.

“Stupid F—ing Jews,” “Go Back to Israel” Shouted at Jews Outside FL Chabad

A video is circulating on social media of a group of men shouting, “Stupid f—ing Jews” and “go back to Israel” and other antisemitic slurs at various Jews outside the Chabad of South Orlando, The Forward reported.

The video shows a man, identified as being Jon Minadeo II of the white supremacist organization Goyim Defense League (GDL) saying to Jewish passengers in a car, “Leave our country, go back to Israel. You know where you bomb Palestinian kids. Where we fund you stupid f—ing Jews $8 billion a year. Minadeo then taunted “the horseface on this Jew.”

Minadeo later shouts, “You’ve been kicked out of a 109 nations one-thousand thirty f—ing times. You’d think you’d figure it out by now” and accused a “filthy Jew” of attempting to run them over. Minadeo then accused the cops of working “straight for the f—ing Jews.” Other parts of the video featured Minadeo shouting “pedophile Jew” and accused Jews of killing Palestinians.
