The DSA, the largest socialist organization in the country, distanced itself from the chants, saying that only a single person was involved and that she was not a DSA member.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring today\u2019s protest of the Prop I repeal, a non-member joined the crowd and spouted disgusting antisemitic remarks,\u201d the DSA said in a statement. \u201cDSA members and other protesters asked her to stop, but she refused. We want to be clear that whatever hate she holds isn\u2019t shared by DSA members and we categorically reject antisemitism.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the videos, the woman is wearing a head covering and glasses and appears to be pacing a distance away from the other protesters.<\/p>\n
The incident comes as the DSA, which endorses the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement and opposes economic and military aid to Israel, has both notched major wins and drawn repeated allegations of antisemitism. After the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attack that started the Gaza war, it broke with one of its political stars, New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, following her appearance on a panel where she condemned antisemitism. More recently, one of its members, Zohran Mamdani, was elected mayor of New York City. There, a DSA member last week challenged a DSA-affiliated elected official for condemning Hamas during an open meeting.<\/p>\n
In San Francisco, the chant was condemned by other Jewish organizations, leaders and government officials, like the San Francisco Jewish Community Relations Council, California Representative Ro Khanna, and Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt.<\/p>\n
In a statement shared on X, Amy Spitalnick, the CEO of Jewish Council for Public Affairs, said, \u201cWhat does antisemitism look like? This. This is hate and extremism masquerading as progressive politics when, in fact, nothing about it is progressive \u2014 and it only undermines the fight for justice, all of our safety, and our democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n
