Violent mob attacks Los Angeles synagogue, Jews fight back.
A violent mob attacked a synagogue in Los Angeles on Sunday, but the pro-Hamas crowd was not expecting the Jews to fight back.
Masked protesters wearing Middle Eastern garb surrounded the building and refused to allow Jews to either enter or leave. Other activists targeted pedestrians in the heavily-Orthodox community.
A number of Jews were chased and beaten in the streets. But others fought back.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass issued a statement condemning the violence and calling for additional police patrols in the area.
"Today’s violence in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood today was abhorrent, and blocking access to a place of worship is unacceptable," Bass said. "I’ve called on LAPD to provide additional patrols in the Pico-Robertson community as well as outside of houses of worship throughout the city."
Bass added that Los Angeles will not be a harbor for antisemitism and violence. "Those responsible for either will be found and held accountable," she said.
The attack comes as tensions between Israel and Hamas have escalated in recent weeks. Hamas has fired thousands of rockets into Israel, while Israel has responded with airstrikes.
The violence has sparked protests around the world, including in Los Angeles.
The attack on the synagogue is the latest in a series of antisemitic incidents in the United States. According to the Anti-Defamation League, there were more than 2,100 antisemitic incidents in the United States in 2020, a 12 percent increase from the previous year.
The ADL has called on political leaders to condemn antisemitism and to take action to combat it.
"We are deeply concerned about the rise in antisemitic incidents in the United States," ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said in a statement. "We call on all political leaders to condemn antisemitism and to take action to combat it."
The ADL has also called on social media companies to do more to combat antisemitism on their platforms.
"Social media companies have a responsibility to ensure that their platforms are not used to spread hate and violence," Greenblatt said. "We urge them to take action to remove antisemitic content and to promote a more inclusive and respectful online environment."
The attack on the synagogue is a reminder of the need for all Americans to stand together against antisemitism and all forms of hate.
"We must stand together against antisemitism and all forms of hate," Greenblatt said. "We must work to build a more inclusive and respectful society for all."
