Pro-Israel Protesters Flock to Defend L.A. Synagogue Targeted by Pro-Palestinian Mob
Breitbat ^ | 06/21/2024 | JOEL B. POLLAK

A large group of pro-Israel counter-protesters rushed to demonstrate outside a synagogue and Jewish school targeted Thursday in Los Angeles by a mob of pro-Palestinian activists.

The confrontation began earlier Thursday, when the pro-Palestinian activists showed up at the school in Valley Village, an area with a large Jewish population in the San Fernando Valley region of L.A.

HAPPENING NOW

A large group of pro-Israel counter-demonstrators then came to the school to face off against the pro-Palestinian activists. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) arrived and separated the two groups on opposite sides of the street.

This place is down the street from me. Had no idea it was targeted.

Synagogue is in a residential neighborhood. Nice area. Clean. Big houses & wide streets. Little graffitti. Sidewalk full of men and their sons walking on Saturdays with the black suits, hats, ropes [don’t know the correct names] with their wives and daughters nicely dressed - nice looking families.

These people are sick. It feels like something out of 1938 and not one of those people either knows it, or cares. This is America. We don’t do that crap. Hopefully a lot of public figures in the city speak out. Mayor Adams did in NYC. Where’s Karen Bass?

Valley Village. It’s over the hill from Hollywood not far from Burbank or Sherman Oaks - the north side of Highway 101 and west of the 170. Not far from Warner Brothers and Universal Studios. Lots of Jewish people in that general vicinity. I grew up not far from there ages 3-12. My next door neighbors were Holocaust survivors, they had their arms tattooed. Extremely nice family and last I heard a few years ago they were both still alive.

These IslamoNazis do NOT belong in civilized society, whether US or UK or almost any other place on earth

We need to round up the Quisling traitors who let this dangerous enemy rabble into our country, hold prompt trials, and execute for treason

and either repatriate, export these Fakestinian lying slime or else....take care of them....domestically. So that our streets, citizens, churches, and synagogues are safe from their terrorist attacks, disruptions, threats, intimidations, and .... all the rest of their krap

we talk about cleaning up the WashDC swamp. Well, that WashFC swamp has imported (or enabled the invasion of) thousands and thousands of Islamic enemy agents right into our very own communities and neighborhoods.

Both aspects of the problem need to be cleaned up without further delay if America is to survive and our children are to not be enslaved by Shariah law

"Local Fox affiliate KTTV-11 covered the dueling protests, noting that it
was not clear why the synagogue and school had been targeted."

Clueless faux news in la la land.

In my little town of about 150 homes, a Polish Jewish family lived across the street from us The next neighbor was a Hungarian family and their next door neighbor was a Polish family. All camp survivors. Those college fascist come to our town they will get a hard welcome.

Yes, it is. A pandemic of evil is sweeping the world. Every soul is being tested. We even see antiJewish and antiIsrael posters here. The hatred takes them captive and, if left unrepentant and unhealed, will consume them.

I just find it interesting that it seems LA has both Pro Israel and Pro-Hamas groups willing to start trouble. No other place in the US has both groups willing to start trouble.

Of those two groups, only the proHamas group is here, as everywhere, to start trouble.

I am not a religious person but it’s getting harder and harder to ignore the parallels in biblical prophecy.

LA is a big city. LA county has around 10 million residents. Quite ethnically diverse, we’ve got everyone. If I took you around the block visiting my neighbors where I live now it would be like walking the Epcot food exhibit. But that aside, you attack a religious day school and you are the one asking for trouble. If it were a mosque or a black church it would be national news.

Though if I recall, the JDL - Jewish Defense League - was founded in LA back in the day. They’ve either disbanded or gone silent. And there are also a lot of Israelis in that particular neighborhood. So not totally surprising a few people are on alert.

No idea why these ignoramases thought marching on a synagogue and day school was a good idea. You wanna protest, go to city hall. You want trouble, go pick on a religious or ethnic group. You just don’t do that in LA you will be met by the other side in force.

JDL was founded in NYC in the ‘60s by Meir Kahane. There was an LA guy that headed the group after Kahane moved to Israel. They still have a website, but have been inactive for years.
