Manny’s — a café, bar, and social gathering space on Valencia and 16th streets — was hit with graffiti and smashed windows Monday night following a thousands-strong anti-deportation march through the Mission.

Two windows were smashed. Others were tagged with phrases targeting the cafe’s owner, Manny Yekutiel, who is Jewish: “Fuck Manny,” “Zionist Fucks Gentrifyers” (sic) and “The only good settler is a dead 1” were scrawled in pink and black graffiti.

Yekutiel first learned about the graffiti last night at around 7:30 p.m. According to him, the cafe was holding a San Francisco politics boot camp, a staple of the venue’s event coordination, when a participant texted Yekutiel to tell him that someone was breaking and spray-painting his windows.

Yekutiel rushed over from his home in the Castro, and stayed with the attendees of the event. Staff painted over the graffiti once protesters had moved on. But two hours later, at approximately 9:45 pm, Manny’s was vandalized again.
