Clashes broke out on Sunday around Orthodox synagogue Adas Torah in Los Angeles as approximately 150 pro-Hamas protesters surrounded a real estate fair that was being held at the synagogue in the predominantly Jewish neighborhood of Pico-Robertson. The event was for people interested in purchasing a home in Israel. LAPD in riot gear surrounded the synagogue, but despite reports of fist fights and rock-throwing, the violent protest was allowed to continue for several hours.
The initial protests were organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement LA and Code Pink LA.
Several commentators noted the deplorable coverage of the antisemitic pogrom in the mainstream media. The attack was notably absent from the first three pages of the print edition of the LA Times and only merited a brief story on its website.
“Doesn’t belong here,” Rabbi Hertzel Illulian told CBS News. “I don’t think the Jewish would go in front of a mosque or the Christian people would go in front of a mosque to do such a thing, nobody would accept this, but here, when it comes to Jews and Israel everything is kosher, everything is okay.”
