Jewish prosecutors in blue city blow whistle on alleged antisemitism in DA's office

Deputy DAs in Los Angeles raise concerns of office antisemitism under boss George Gascon

A growing number of deputy district attorneys in Los Angeles says they have concerns about antisemitism in the office after months of silence on the issue from their boss, which culminated in clashes between anti-Israel agitators and counterprotesters outside a synagogue in a heavily Jewish neighborhood in the city.

Violence erupted outside the Adas Torah synagogue on Pico Boulevard last week, prompting condemnations from a range of prominent Democrats, including President Biden, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

But according to a number of Los Angeles prosecutors, there was notable silence from the district attorney tasked with prosecuting criminal acts in connection to the clashes: George Gascon.

"I hate going to work and entering a building where I feel like my boss will treat me differently simply because I'm Jewish, and that’s how I feel and many others feel," said Brian Schirn, a veteran prosecutor helming the DA's narcotics division.

Key issues Schirn and other deputy district attorneys brought up were Gascon's slow response to Hamas' Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel; his endorsements from local political groups accused of antisemitism, including the People's City Council, a group dubbed "blatantly antisemitic" by the American Jewish Council's Los Angeles chapter; and the fact that between a third and half of the nearly two dozen whistleblower retaliation lawsuits filed by fellow deputy district attorneys come from Jewish plaintiffs.

They say he took an aggressive posture after pro-Israel counterprotesters joined the Adas Torah clashes, but not against the antisemitic mob that kicked things off. They say Jewish prosecutors have been passed over for more than a dozen promotions to prominent head deputy positions.

American Jews are somehow surprised when all their anti-white bigotry meant to elevate them above whites and to impress their communist “allies” has boomeranged back on them. How surprised they are that their “people of color” lump them in as both white and worse than white. A permanent DP rule will be a disaster for them. The globalist left is busy hamstringing and attacking Israel while she fights for existence while attacking them here at home. If there ever is a second Holocaust it will be led by leftists in America.

Leftist Jews are the modern day kapos who will happily kill other Jews for fun and profit just like keen is more than happy to attack, impoverish and imprison white Americans.

Gascon: “I understand your concern about the seeming anti-semitism in our day-to-day operations. I assure you that we will not tolerate that in our offices. Now it’s time for you mewling, nickel-nosed Jews to get back to work on dropping charges against our friends who were peacefully protesting the Zionist oppression in Gaza.”
