We weren't at the Berkeley City Council this week, but city officials have been decrying antisemitic behavior during remarks by Holocaust survivors Tuesday night.
Due to the behavior, BPD had to intervene, officials said.
I am outraged over the hateful and deeply antisemitic behavior we saw at Tuesday’s Council meeting. Heckling people including Holocaust survivors, then co-opting its message for an anti-Jewish agenda, threats and hate speech will not be tolerated. We will not be intimidated. https://t.co/Hb0t5T1ZEb
