San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins has offered an explanation for her now-deleted post in which she referred to a protest in support of Palestine as a 'pro-Hamas' rally.
Jenkins had said on X, formerly Twitter, that, "This weekend a pro-Hamas rally was held downtown, where 'Death 2 Israel', amongst other hateful rhetoric was graffitied across buildings. At this time, the suspects are unknown, and are assumed to have been associated with the protest."
. Some attendees reportedly carried banners that expressed messages like "No more human suffering" and "Rise up for Palestine — end Israeli apartheid."Hundreds of demonstrators of Israeli descent and their allies marched through the streets of Walnut Creek Tuesday night, carrying flags and photos of the victims.
However, Jenkins decided to delete her thread following concerns raised by members of the Muslim and Arab communities regarding its potential implications and interpretations. She added "We must also acknowledge that these types of acts have the potential to lead to retaliation or an escalation in hateful conduct - which hurts us all. This is a time when we must all come together to stand against hate and violence of all kinds."
