San Francisco Hillel Set Aflame, Building Destroyed, Shabbat and Chanukah Events Canceled

Hillel is the world’s largest Jewish campus organization, providing a welcoming community, cultural events, and spiritual support for Jewish college students worldwide, aiming to enrich their lives.

Last night, the San Francisco chapter was set on fire.

During the final Shabbat of the semester—while students and staff were inside preparing for services—an attempted antisemitic mass-casualty attack was carried out at a Jewish building in San Francisco. Police have confirmed it was arson: a suspect arrested, significant damage done, the building shut down, and Shabbat and Chanukah events canceled. This is the inevitable consequence the moment campus quads were allowed to morph into open-air terror rallies, from the moment chants for intifada were tolerated and even encouraged, and from the moment administrators decided calls for Jewish death qualified as protected speech. Last year, this same Hillel was vandalized with “Khaybar” (an annihilationist chant evoking Muhammad’s mass slaughter of Jews), threats against the West, and extremist symbols—clear warning shots that were ignored. Now this.

This is how ideological violence escalates when it is nurtured, excused, and sanitized by institutions aligned with the jihad force. “Globalize the intifada” doesn’t end in a seminar—it ends in smoke, flames, and Jewish holidays canceled behind police tape. It ends on Bondi beach.

Bay Area Suspect arrested in arson that caused ‘significant damage’ at SF Hillel

By Lea Loeb, JWeekly, December 16, 2025

San Francisco police have arrested a suspect in an arson investigation of a Dec. 5 fire at SF Hillel, the campus group announced Tuesday.

The fire, which caused “significant damage” to the building and forced its closure, started in outdoor garbage bins located along the side of the building, according to SF Hillel. The fire started while Hillel’s student life team was inside the building and preparing for the final Shabbat of the semester.

San Francisco State University should be declared a terrorist organization.

The Jerusalem Post article was the ONLY one I could find.

Had this been an abortion clinic it would have been front page “news”

My stepson lives near a large Jewish Community Center the Atlanta area. Over the years I’ve noticed a huge uptick in the obvious security surrounding the place. The world is being allowed to go nuts.

But Jews taking reasonable precautions on a day to day basis is “alarmism” and noting risks of violent attack is “gaslighting”. Right, Mac?

And the victim pays for Islamic terrorism in higher insurance costs.

Get those monsters out of our country.

The only explanation for this hatred of Jews that makes sense is it is demonic. 😈

The akbars are at it again. I would expect more incidents like this in the future.

I believe it is time to draft a Constitutional Amendment separating the Islamic religion from the protections of the 1st Amendment making the practice and its adherents subject to the regulations of both the Federal and State Governments. Also banning the immigration and naturalization of its followers.

Good thing islamists and leftists don’t ally and coordinate on the West Coast, right Mac?

I don’t understand why so many Americans side with the Muslims in the “Free Palestine” movement when the Muslims hate and kill Americans, both Christian and Jewish....
