Violent Pro-Hamas Mob Descends on L.A. Synagogue; Mayor Orders Police to Stand Down

I pray that all Americans will stand up and act so that the fascism we saw in Germany is not repeated here. Never again is now. For all of us, Jew and non-Jew alike.

Imagine if the KKK went into South Central Los Angeles and tried to block parishioners from going into the First A.M.E. Church and then got violent. How fast would the police be there to arrest the agitators? How long would it be before cities across the nation were protesting and marching to demand police protection and the arrest of all KKK supporters? How many demonstrations would happen nationwide to empower (justifiably) black churches and demand their protection? (Screengrab image: via X /The Jerusalem Post)

In Los Angeles, we don't need to imagine it, for on Sunday afternoon, it happened. But there haven't been loud voices protesting nationwide; the LAPD was ordered to stand down rather than respond forcibly, and the mainstream news is reporting it as just another protest that got a little out of hand.

Why the silence? Because it wasn't a black church; it was a Jewish synagogue. The violent agitators weren't the KKK; they were the same pro-Palestinian terrorists who created the illegal encampment at UCLA.

As in many large cities, Los Angeles has a high density of Orthodox Jews called the Pico-Robertson area. Pro-Hamas demonstrators blocked off access to a synagogue there and then started their Jew-hating chants. They physically stopped people from going into the temple, threatened violence, and then acted on those threats. Police were called, but Mayor Karen Bass' office reportedly told them that they should treat both the Jewish congregants and the pro-Hamas activists the same way and ordered officers to stand down unless absolutely necessary.

After they were finally dispersed, these violent demonstrators (the same individuals who previously terrorized the UCLA campus) started going through Pico-Robertson, physically attacking any Jew they found, including young families with children. Can you even conceive of Bass and the LAPD remaining stoic if white supremacists were attacking a Black church and neighborhood?

Of course not. But the far-left "progressive" Democrats like Bass (read "Marxist") hate Jews with such a passion that Los Angeles experienced its first pogrom, a bona fide physical attack on synagogues and individuals, for one reason: they are Jews. What makes Bass' actions even more despicable is that the synagogue had heard about the planned riot and, for almost a week, had been petitioning the mayor's office to have a police presence and stop the violent demonstrators before it started. But since it was Jews asking, Bass ignored the requests... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
