An antisemitic phrase was spray-painted on the sidewalk of a North Side home over the weekend.

A Jewish woman who lives in the home where it happened says there have been three previous incidents in the past few weeks.

On Sunday morning, she found a Nazi rallying cry on the walk-in front of her home.

The home has a flag that says they stand with Israel. The case has been referred to the FBI.

Pennsylvania's governor talked about anti-Semitism on national television Sunday.

There should be no place for that here, in Pennsylvania,” said Governor Josh Shapiro on CBS News’ Face the Nation on Sunday.

Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey released a statement on X (formally Twitter) denouncing the incident.

Anti-Semitism is being seen in other parts of the country as well.

In New York, a rabbi has urged Jewish students at Columbia University to stay home as pro-Palestinian protests are surging.

Students can attend classes virtually starting Monday, the first day of Passover.

U.S. Representative Elise Stefanik is calling on Columbia's president to step down for losing control of the campus.
