Antisemitic graffiti sprayed in Mexico during protests against Sheinbaum's government

Mexico's Jewish community has denounced antisemitic graffiti that appeared during an anti-government protest, targeting President Claudia Sheinbaum. The graffiti, painted on the Supreme Court building, included a slur and a crossed-out Star of David, widely interpreted as a reference to Sheinbaum, Mexico's first Jewish president. The protest, led by youth, was in response to rising violence and corruption, and resulted in multiple arrests and injuries. Both Mexico's Jewish community and Israel's foreign minister have condemned the incident, calling for a clear rejection of antisemitism. Sheinbaum has previously faced references to her Jewish heritage from political opponents, despite not emphasizing her background publicly.
