Scott Wiener's expulsion from Trans March reflects San Francisco's growing antisemitism problem, not policy disagreements

Summary

This article argues that California State Senator Scott Wiener was forcibly removed from the San Francisco Trans March not because of his political positions on Gaza and Israel, but because he is Jewish. The piece contrasts Wiener's treatment with that of his opponent Connie Chan, who holds identical policy positions yet faced no harassment. The author contends that Wiener is held to a different standard due to his Jewish identity, and that this incident reflects a growing antisemitism problem within San Francisco's progressive left. The article examines how anti-Zionism has become a vehicle for antisemitic targeting of Jewish public figures, even when their political positions align with their critics.
