Wow ‘F*** Jews’: Antisemites Vandalize the Office of Bari Weiss’s Media Outlet

Weiss, who worked at the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times before launching her own media outlet, revealed Sunday on X that she had discovered the message “F*** Jews” scrawled on the wall outside of her office.

“This was scrawled outside of our offices this week,” she said. “If the antisemites who did this think it will intimidate me and the journalists of @TheFP, they don’t know me, they don’t know us, and they have no idea what we stand for.”

I am used to these being hoxes, but this looks legit. At least they spelled 'Israel' correct. Looking at the floor, it appears it was scribbled from inside a building:

Id suggest it’s fake because white leftists probably wouldn’t say “fuck Jews”, while both rightists and Muslims have ‘more important’ targets than Bari Weiss, and the only faction ‘critical’ of this IDW stuff is the left.

No idea whether it’s credible, but I don’t agree with your reasoning here. Careful word choice and target selection are not all that likely.

Having seen videos of people tearing down posters and harassing cars that try to get through their protests I think a lot of people just want to let loose and sow a little chaos and slake some bloodlust and they've been given an excuse.

These people aren't serious revolutionaries anymore than Meatball is, no matter the rhetoric. What do they give a shit if there're more important targets? By definition, those take more work!

I'm guessing an inside job. Lefties hire lefties even after they've been burned a few times.
