Today, we delve into an alarming incident that took play in Los Angeles.
Pro-Palestine “protestors” targeted the Adas Torah synagogue that resides in a large Jewish neighborhood.
On Sunday, worshippers were attending their service, and they are suddenly met with a heated protest at the entrance of their place of worship.
Brawling broke out for hours after far-left and Muslim extremists attacked a Jewish neighborhood in Los Angeles. The militants tried storming a synagogue but were pushed back by police before being met by groups of young Jewish men. Read: https://t.co/H9TY9Jk2sH

Pogrom (pō-grəm): An organized massacre of helpless people. Specifically a massacre of Jews.
This is Pico-Robertson. A heavily Jewish neighbourhood in LA.

Disturbing scenes were seen in videos that surfaced on social media. Instances of an egg being thrown at a woman’s face, several physical skirmishes, and people being shoved around were recorded.
What happened in Los Angeles was an attempted pogrom.
They were actively looking for Jews in Jewish neighbourhoods, while beating up other Jews outside a synagogue.
All under the guise of “protesting Israel”.
There is no other word to describe it. pic.twitter.com/gKXHzGqpmg

Rabbi Michael Barclay wrote, “that Los Angeles experienced its first pogrom, a bona fide physical attack on synagogues and individuals, for one reason: they are Jews. What makes [Mayor]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.”
No. This is not Gaza or Germany 1930’s.

LAPD push back a violent armed mob (pepper spray) who had surrounded the front of the Adas Torah Synagogue in Los Angeles. Unable to attack the synagogue, the militants assaulted pro-Israel journalists and protesters, leading to ongoing brawls. pic.twitter.com/E8x7e5efg9

Further videos showed visibly Jewish men, donning kippas, attempting to calm the situation. Some were seen trying to get the ultra-Orthodox man who was encircled by protestors. Another clip showed a man with a Palestinian flag in a physical altercation with a visibly Jewish man, while a woman could be heard pleading for an end to the violence in the background.
Pro-Palestine and far-left rioters surrounded the Adas Torah Synagogue in L.A. One masked extremist pepper sprays videographer @camhigby. Will journalist organizations like @spj_tweets condemn this?

However, a Jewish volunteer organization called Magen Am (Shield of the People) has been training to protect Jews and arrived at the area to protect the synagogue.
Is this the “community self-defense” that Antifa & the far-left talk about? Jewish counter-protesters confronted a far-left & pro-Palestine mob that tried to storm the Adas Torah Synagogue in a Jewish neighborhood of L.A. Multiple brawls broke out. pic.twitter.com/QWq85NsOmY

Eventually, the LAPD had to declare the gathering unlawful and took action to restore peace. However, this led to a clash with the pro-Palestinian protestors.
