Two Jewish-owned bagel shops in different locations have been targeted with antisemitic graffiti. In Pilsen, the Bittersweet Pastry Shop & Cafe was vandalized with a message telling them to "get out." Meanwhile, Boichik Bagels in Berkeley faced similar hostility with the words "Israel baby killer" spray-painted in three spots on the sidewalk outside the store on Wednesday afternoon. The owner of Boichik Bagels believes the graffiti was placed there in broad daylight. This incident is part of a broader wave of antisemitism, particularly noted in Berkeley, where the local community has expressed concern over the rising antisemitism.
