On Sunday, a synagogue in the largest Jewish neighborhood in Los Angeles hosted a small, privately advertised event for those interested in purchasing homes or second homes in Israel. “The Great Israeli Real Estate Event” at Adas Torah synagogue wasn’t political and it had nothing to do with the Gaza war. But within moments of its noon start time, it became the backdrop to the worst antisemitic violence in Los Angeles since an attack on Jewish diners at a restaurant in 2021.
Over the course of several hours, with dozens of LAPD officers decked out in riot gear largely staying out of the fray, around 100 pro-Hamas activists attacked, bear-sprayed, harassed, and brawled with Jews up and down Pico Boulevard.
The police occasionally stepped in, but their main activity Sunday afternoon seemed to ensure that the activists were able to successfully shut down the front entrance to the synagogue, ruin the event, and harass Jews more or less with impunity. Dozens of video clips from Sunday afternoon have been posted online (a good roundup is here). The striking thing about the footage is that despite the significant police presence, there is scant footage of the police forcefully intervening in the numerous fistfights, brawls, and beatings.
I had come to the synagogue with my kids not to get caught up in a street battle but to learn a bit about real estate in Israel. As violence across America has grown without much pushback—especially in cities where Jews live—many Jews are thinking about alternative plans, or at least exploring their options.
It turns out that Hamas sympathizers have been keeping close tabs on events hosted by synagogues in America. They knew about the event in advance, and were putting out calls on social media via groups like Code Pink and the “Palestinian Youth Movement” to mobilize their keffiyeh-clad thugs to show up at Adas Torah at “12PM SHARP” ready for action. The same groups that promoted Sunday’s violence, it turns out, had also shown up at similar real estate events earlier this year in Toronto, Montreal, and Teaneck, New Jersey.
The social media posts about the event were designed to generate maximum mob outrage: “OUR LAND IS NOT FOR SALE! This Sunday, a real estate event will be marketing homes in ‘anglo neighborhoods’ in effort [sic] to further occupy Palestine,” reads one post. One doesn’t need to be a scholar of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to note that there is no distinction made here between Israel proper and disputed territories. To them, all of Israel is Palestine, all of Israel should be destroyed, and every home inhabited by a Jew on any part of this land is a crime.
These public social media posts are quite open about the goal of violence. “The Nakba is ongoing and must be confronted! FROM THE BELLY OF THE BEAST / NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE.”.....
There seems to be considerable coordination for these pro-Hamas events. Is the FBI doing RICO investigations? I am guessing that there are no investigations. It is the left.
“with dozens of LAPD officers decked out in riot gear largely staying out of the fray” - Like Krystalnacht, the police were there to keep the Israelis from defending themselves.
“The police occasionally stepped in, but their main activity Sunday afternoon seemed to ensure that the activists were able to successfully shut down the front entrance to the synagogue. . . “
Change the name plate on the synagogue to ‘Adas Tora Abortion Center’ and all that will change immediately.
At least this articles explains why protesters focused on this synagogue, that’s an improvement.
I wonder if this will cause liberal Jews to change their party affiliation.
another synagogue Shaarei Zede was also targeted a few days before - both had seminars by real estate firm so this was a two-fer https://www.jewishpress.com/news/jewish-news/antisemitism-news/pro-hamas-protesters-clash-with-jews-at-las-shaarey-zedek-synagogue/2024/06/23/

Eventually, we will see that the FBI supervises the trains that run into our gas chambers.
Once again, you people are being lied to.
The company holding the event sells property in Ariel which is an illegal settlement...

The reason I had to link from an archived site is because the truth is being scrubbed from the internet after the recent incident at the synagogue.
I really don’t know why I keep refuting all of this stuff. It wouldn’t matter how many times I pointed out the lies. You people will just believe the next one unquestioningly.
After Covid and Trump and J6 and Iraq and Ukraine, doesn’t it piss you off when you are lied to?
This article is doing a “partial hangout” which is a common intelligence technique to hide the full truth. Look it up.
See #10
“The company holding the event sells property in Ariel which is an illegal settlement...”
So what if it was? That doesn’t justify what those miscreants did.
You don’t care at all that you were lied to?
Do you understand that there is a difference in narrative between...
“Peaceful Jewish CONGREGANTS were at their place of worship and were attacked by violent Muslims during a pogrom.”
AND...
“Zionists were using a synagogue to sell Palestinian land. Palestinian activists organized a protest and then a fight broke out.”
Please tell me you can see the difference.
After everything we have been through, you are still o.k. with being lied to?
Look up Gell-Mann amnesia. You have it. I hope it’s not a fatal case.

That is a very well reasoned rebuttal.
Good point.
I don’t have to rebut anything. I already said it. Whatever you think the Jews did doesn’t justify what those terrorist miscreants did at the synagogue. You should be ashamed for trying to justify it.
