It's sickening that Karen Bass, supposed Mayor of LA, is presiding over a city of hate. Goes hand in hand with her luxury living for the homeless, ignoring rampant shoplifting and handing out needles to facilitate drug habits. Her message: 'we reward those who do the least for our society' and the pro-Hamas crowd fits right in.

Come to North Carolina. We don't put up with the heckler's veto here.

If you have ever voted for a "progressive" you have encouraged this conduct.

One of the most worrisome things about this story is that it is not at all surprising. It is what one would have expected. The savages are feeling they can get away with almost anything, and progressive governments seem to be proving them right. The first and obvious suggestion is for people to arm themselves, train with the weapons they buy, and be prepared to act in self defense. The problem is that in places run by leftists, authorities tend to side with the leftist hoodlums, and people who defend themselves run the risk of serious trouble with the law. An action that would be treated as reasonable self defense in Texas (Austin perhaps aside) might land a person from an unprotected group in the slammer in New York, Los Angeles, or other places run by leftists. This is a particular difficulty for Jews because a high percentage of American Jews live in cities and states run by leftists. Jews (and for that matter whoever the next targets are) living in those places have my sympathy and best wishes. People could relocate to places where people are free to defend themselves, but not everyone can or would want to do that. It is tough.

Where’s a new Jewish defense league?

Could call it the Haganah

Noah makes a very good and obvious point; if the protesters all wore MAGA hats, hell if ONE protester wore a MAGA hat, all the major networks would cover this event as an anti-semetic boiling point.

And I’ve seen almost nothing on this story in the big media outlets or if they do write about it it gets pushed to an obscure page on their website.

I am very sorry the LA police failed your entire community.

Now that the "pro-Palestine" mob waves swastikas at their rallies and praises Hitler, they can no longer deny they are the new Nazis.

This is the most shocking event that has happened in Ca since I moved here in 1963. Open and violent Jew bashing while the Police stood by.

My advice for Jews:

1. Never vote for a Democrat again

2. Arm yourselves and fight back

Can some sensible LA Jews do some research to find out the names the politicians are who told the police to stand down so that the community can respond to them appropriately?

This sounds really harsh -pack your shit And GTFO. Do you not remember the ghettos of Europe? Gascone gona save you? You seem to be getting what the people have voted for. There are other places in this country where you will be welcomed. Until people are willing to vote with their feet you will be subjected to the same or worse. AG Garland ain’t on your side. Too busy locking up prayerful grandmothers.

I don’t blame the police; I blame far left elected officials and bureaucrats who obviously told the police to stand down. It’s all about jealousy, while Jews were busy building a successful country, Palestinians were building 100’s of miles of terror tunnels throughout Gaza.

Declaring anything “the worst… [whatever] since the… [whatever] of 2021” seems a little desperate for attention given that it’s only 2024.

That’s like saying someone is stunning and brave for being the first black, transgender lesbian (surprising how often those two adjectives accompany each other), astronaut, Rhodes scholar politician to ever be nominated for the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It’s simply not enough to be a unicorn - you must be the MOSTEST unicorn at everything to be attention-worthy.

Ever notice how all anti-Israel "protestors" are dirtbags?

While the attack on the synagogue was deplorable, and the police response atrocious, did the writer of this piece vote for Karen Bass , Gavin Newsome, the LA DA, and of course Joe Biden? Even the Hebrew Bible says you reap what you sow!

Sir/Madam, There is no equivalent to voting for a candidate that didn’t turn out well and terrorists attacking people because of their religious views. I hope you will rethink your comment above.

We should count how many commenters here have said more or less the same thing, essentially that the Jews have it coming. Why am I not surprised. It doesn't take much to rouse the antisemite lurking in people's psyches.
