After the hate and violence outside Congregation Adas Torah, a synagogue in the Pico Robertson Jewish community of Los Angeles went viral and became a national news story, the perpetrators and their political allies, including those in the media, scrambled to justify it.
The rationalization put forward are that…
1. The terror supporters were really the victims of Jewish violence
2. The terrorist supporters were not there to attack the synagogue but to protest a real estate fair in Israel taking place there.
As a journalist on the scene, I can address both claims together.
The terrorist supporters came there for a fight. They brought bear spray, skateboards and metal water bottles (commonly brought by Antifa and other rioters because they can be legitimately carried, but also make good weapons) and they weren’t there to skateboard. I saw a guy there with ski goggles. And he wasn’t there to ski either. They wore keffiyahs, initially down as scarves, and then over their faces once they began to attack Jews.
You don’t bring this kind of gear for a peaceful protest, you do it in preparation for a fight.
When you bring this kind of equipment to a hate rally in the center of a Jewish community, you’re there to attack that community. Period.
Terror supporters and their allies have responded to the videos of attacks on Jews by posting videos of violence by Jewish counterprotestors. Most of those videos actually come from after the terror rally when the Hamas supporters were marching down a residential street after being pushed out by police after hours of violent attacks on the Jewish community. Some earlier ones still begin an hour and a half or two after the start. These videos show a response to the terror violence and not the beginning of it.
The Jewish community was disorganized. There was no plan. Young teenage girls showed up with Israeli flags. There were lots of elderly people and some families who arrived. There were attempts at singing and dancing.
I was at the scene early on and I saw the violence begin with multiple confrontations by terror supporters.
When I arrived at the scene, before I interacted with anyone, a Middle Eastern man in a keffiyah began threatening me. In a half hour, I began to see people being sprayed with bear spray by masked keffiyah attackers. And while I didn’t have eyes everywhere, what I saw was that the attackers had a pretty clear agenda to escalate the violence, forming in small masked groups, rushing out for sorties and then returning to use the rest of the hate rally for cover.
As far as the real estate fair pretext, had Jews shown up to a mosque to protest any kind of event, no matter how awful, and the whole thing turned into a riot in the middle of a Muslim neighborhood, not a single person in politics or the media would have accepted that rationale.
As others have pointed out, the real estate fair involved homes in “internationally recognized” parts of Israel, but that doesn’t even matter.
The real estate fair was a pretext. As I mentioned in my article, “the terrorist hate rally spread outside three synagogues, Congregation Adas Torah, Chabad Persian Youth, and Congregation Ateret Israel (Glory of Israel), and the confrontations in the center of the street continued.”
None of those were hosting real estate fairs. The violence spread around the community and around Kosher restaurants.
The majority of the signs and chants at the hate rally did not mention the fair, they were generic hatred of Israel and support for terrorism.
The real estate fair was a pretext, not the premise.
The participants had come spoiling for a fight. They came well prepared for one. They organized and deployed. They staged confrontations. They spewed hate. And they got what they wanted.
LA Mayor Bass and the woke leftist closet anti-Semitic democrats condemn anti-Semitism and all violence as a theoretical and conceptual generality, without condemning those real actual people and organizations, the Islamist and leftist mob, who are responsible.
Bass and her ilk have no intention to actually identify or take any effective actions against those who are provoking and inciting and causing and creating the anti-Semitism and anti-America attacks and violence.
This is just another insidious politically clever way to stab Jews and Israel and US citizens in the back.
The attacks on a Los Angeles Jewish community by an Islamist and leftist mob, and the resulting fake outrage and phony condemnations politicians from Mayor Karen Bass to President Joe Biden expressed is a disgrace. . Their selective use of general terms to describe what happened clearly show their intended deception and depravity.
The woke leftist psychopathic berserk hate-filled lying democrat party must sent packing out of Los Angeles City Hall.
LA Mayor Bass and the woke leftist political ruling class of Los Angeles should be tared and feathered and run out of LA.
“They condemned the anti-Semitic actions and violence, but not those behind it.”

Came to LA’s Congregation Adas Torah for a POGRAM.
That’s a fact.
Good coverage Daniel!
This is almost like scientific street fighting, or rioting. Deliberately inciting street violence in a scientific way. Reminds me of Bolshevik riots in Russia under Lenin/Trotsky, or deliberately incited Pograms by various authorities.
Jews and all Americans need to get trained and organized- training should include guerrilla warfare – do not think this is not going to end up like nazzi Germany if we do not get President Trump elected back to the White House then the war will be on in the streets from this lunatic fringe that has become unhinged because they are paid to do this crap! They are funded by known treasonous perps in USA and outside USA. They are trained and they show up with their faces covered. They are not arrested and if arrested they are released! Obviously the coup d’etat in USA ordered the borders open, engineered inflation and shortages, allowing terrorism in USA. These military aged men pouring over the border and asked to be sent to cities they were told to ask for.. Those places are terrorist cells where these military aged punks are trained in suicide missions and other terrorist attacks on USA soil! Joe Biden and his puppet masters and if the tracks are followed, Obama, who started the endless supply of money delivered to Iran to be dispersed to their various terrorist franchises. There will be terrorist attacks in USA. They are being trained and when President Trump takes office again, they will be ordered to attack.
There’s got to be follow through. Where did this mob come from? Where did they go after they finished their day’s terror work? Where do THEY live? Who organized the mob? What does the mayor know? Who’s following up on these questions? Will the community be
liaisoning with the police department and will the police department be providing extra security for these neighborhoods?
Who was responsible for the real estate ads that were placed in the Jewish Journal prior to last Sunday’s riot?
Thanks for this information. I have lost all trust for our garbage “news media” so it is good to hear the facts from an eye witness.

These Hamas-supporting, Jew-hating street thugs are to the Progressive Democrat Party (more properly identified as Nazi Party 2.0) as the SA street thugs were to the first Nazi Party (NSDAP). The history of 1930’s Germany is instructive. As it seems clear that the local police, operating at the direction of the local Democrat party regime, are unwilling to deal with these Nazi thugs, it is past time to organize and confront them not only on the street but in every institution and at every level of government where they are present. Any time these thugs appear, they should be expecting to face the equivalent of Spartan lochoi who will crush them and dare them to re-attempt their assaults and terrorizing of neighborhoods.
The Progressive Democrat party and their fellow travelers are totalitarians who have declared war on the American Republic and its citizens who support the Constitution and Bill of Rights. They will stop at nothing to seize and exercise power (witness what happened in Nov 2020 and thereafter). It is imperative now (and decades late) that they are annihilated as a political and cultural force. They belong in the dustbin of history along with the NSDAP.
