Some people are calling this a “pogrom”. It was at best a low-level riot against Jews by Islamic terrorist supporters and Antifa with the complicity of local Los Angeles authorities. I have an article with more to say about it, but the videos speak for themselves.
The target was Congregation Adas Torah (Congregation of the Bible) but the pro-terror rally spread out to two adjoining synagogues and then the violence spread out past Kosher restaurants, a Jewish school and to nearby residential streets on both sides of Pico Blvd in the Pico Robertson neighborhood where the Hamas rioters freely attacked Jews.
Some Jewish community members stood up to them.
The LAPD was slow to intervene and generally ineffective. The failure to once again confine the hate mob to a protest zone allowed the violence to continue escalating. This was the same thing that had happened at the Museum of Tolerance and in other instances. Despite the killing of Paul Kessler at a protest where the sides were not separated, LA authorities continue allowing Hamas supporters free access to their Jewish targets.
And after 8 months at some point that can’t simply be dismissed as incompetence.
I must have watched this video 20 times or more because as I watch it, I find myself feeling significant trauma that this Jew hatred is here in our backyard and it feels surreal. This ‘protest’ began in front of a synagogue . How can anyone suggest this is anything but… pic.twitter.com/WJxVHBKBr3

There were multiple insistances of Jewish community members being maced/bear sprayed with no police response
the LAPD was deployed in riot gear but did nothing for nearly an hour, failed to separate protesters from counterprotesters, intervene or put up barriers pic.twitter.com/OQ4Vh83gIc

🚨INSANE FOOTAGE: Protestor stops, looks at our on-the-scene reporter @camhigby and bear sprays him directly in eyes only feet away.

After the attack, Rabbi @ASufrin escorted me away from the melee in the streets, brought me to safety and gave me water. I never saw his face, until I reviewed the footage. He didn’t know who I was, and I didn’t know who he was, but he helped me any way.

Why do these Hamas thugs feel empowered to come into the Pico Robertson neighborhood at the Adas Torah synagogue on Pico Blvd and threaten Jews?
Because Los Angeles Democrats have their back. pic.twitter.com/OLJMQckub5

What I saw at the terrorist rally outside Congregation Adas Torah (Congregation of the Bible) in Los Angeles
The LAPD allowed terrorist supporters to occupy both sides of the synagogue while keeping Jewish counterprotesters out. Only a narrow protected lane allowed access. pic.twitter.com/ztUh6yLqWP

this is exactly how it had previously played in the attack by terrorist supporters on the nearby Museum of Tolerance and at UCLA with the LAPD standing there and doing nothing until the violence escalated pic.twitter.com/wjra3U2mht

Hamas supporters were able to freely roam around a Jewish neighborhood in the Pico-Robertson area threatening people
a Muslim man in a keffiyeh told me "billions will come to kill you"
some clearly came prepped for violence like this guy wearing ski goggles in 90 degree weather pic.twitter.com/SfiCLhDstz

Many Jewish community members, including teenage girls and families, took a risk by coming to what they thought would be a safe rally only to face violence and threats
this is a failure by Mayor @KarenBassLA and the @911LAPD but also by the Jewish community leadership which pic.twitter.com/lfVjhnPJTG

failed to
1. control the ground in front of the synagogue
2. set up a rally zone
3. set up a sound system
4. maintain security beyond a few roving outnumbered Magen Am volunteers pic.twitter.com/Ms3BjfRAyx

The search for 'Orange Shirt'
Can anyone identify 'Orange Shirt' one of the attackers in the Congregation Adas Torah antisemitic attacks in Pico Robertson?
While he mostly wore a mask, I have one image of him unmasked
Here he is confronting a man and woman while masked pic.twitter.com/ieaT4bUiOl

The violence was bad enough that politicians have condemned it (rather than the specific perpetrators) even as the media, including the LA Times, predictably describes “clashes erupting between both sides” condemning the Muslims and Marxists who attacked a synagogue and the Jews who didn’t want their synagogue attacked.
Jeff Bargholz says
WTF?!
I wish I had been there. Try or fail, I would’ve gone off on those mother fuckers.
I’m glad you’re OK, Greeny.
Daniel Greenfield says
Ghamkhs
We’ve been seeing a lot of this across the country for 5 years
Jeff Bargholz says
You’re welcome.
I looked up Ghamkhs, which wasn’t easy, Because Google tries to censor anything Jewish.
I used to be an English teacher so I figured it it out from the context, though. All the best to you and yours..
Algorithmic Analyst says
News reports say the mayor ordered the police to stand down. That also makes it more like a Pogrom.
MuggsSpongedice says
I’d be with you bro! Knock those muddafukkaz on their azzezz – hazmazzez – To my fellow Jews-show up with pepper spray and baseball bats. If it was the other way around, they would send in SWAT to beat the Jews to death! This is antisemitic lawlessness in these blue cities like the violent crime to massive shoplifting lawlessness of DA prosecuting only those standing up for our Constitutional protected freedoms! They are hoping for these nincompoop punks to show up with firearms and knives and start a street genocide! Right. nazzi Germany all over again – https://youtu.be/y8Ikk2ekdKs?si=RVeM8Y5loNAkn7co
Algorithmic Analyst says
I think the Hamas guys were using Bear Spray.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yeah, that bear spray shit pisses me off. Cowards.
Having written that, I will admit that you don’t wan’t to get sprayed with that shit. Fuck that shit. You’ll wish you were dead. It’s horrible. I don’t know if it works on bears but it sure works on people,
ron says
Police had same reaction during the anti Maga riots of last election cycle. Support the blue, but it won’t support you.
Daniel Greenfield says
Cops follow.orders and only deviate to protect themselves that’s the reality
MuggsSpongedice says
they act on command – the training is deep and they focus on the command given and nothing will stop them except to protect their lives – however, this was no threat to police – only the Jewish folks – I lived in Los Angeles 7 years ago and though I am on old man I’m a tough Jew but would not go in there unarmed. Guaranteed, if I was protecting my fellow Jews with a baseball bat I would be arrested for defending life! Jewish life in USA. Who woulda thunk?
Jeff Bargholz says
Baseball bats are actually very effective. Everybody who’s swung one at home plate knows that.
Unless it was a very bad person, I ‘d feel guilty slamming one into somebody’s head, though. But I’d relish doing it to the Hamas Nazis and college pricks.
Algorithmic Analyst says
A decade or so ago I complained about thugs bringing baseball bats (metal) into the park and vandalizing the infrastructure (whacking it with bats). So the authorities banned baseball bats in the park 🙂
Kasandra says
Despicable! (That’s the LA government I’m talking about. The Red/Green “protesters were simply disgusting.)
Algorithmic Analyst says
Good coverage Daniel!
1. Can’t count on government to protect you.
2. Street violence like in 1930s Germany.
FJB says
“Street violence like in 1930s Germany.”
Too many people are oblivious to this fact.
If you ask these empty heads if Hitler was bad, they will say he was and go off on a diatribe n the evils on NAZIsm. but they will do nothing about similar street fighting going on today
Genuine Ignorance, will full ignorance or something else. Whichever one it stinks.

Let me just point out that the Los Angeles Police Department now habitually just does not show up to fight crime and arrest criminals anymore.
That is the deliberate policy of Mayor Bass and the LA City Council and the leftist woke democrat criminals that run Los Angeles.
Regardless what they say, Bass and her leftist democrat gang are deliberately implementing policies that are harming Los Angeles US citizens as well as Jewish LA US citizens.
The LA police should have arrested and knocked the crap out of the depraved murderous psychopathic berserk violent Hamas/ Palestinian punks who showed up at the Pico-Robertson Jewish neighborhood.
Daniel Greenfield says
Yes indeed it is
Jeff Bargholz says
They should have SHOT them.
MuggsSpongedice says
It’s 1933 nazzi Germany all over again https://youtu.be/y8Ikk2ekdKs?si=RVeM8Y5loNAkn7co
mj says
This is terror.
BIDEN ENABLES TERROR.
The Constitution distinguishes between enemies foreign and domestic. Today the two enemies have melded together. There is no difference between foreign and domestic terror, even though one happens ‘here’ and the other happens ‘there’. Since the unifying 10/7 massacre, the two ‘terrors’ now work openly, in sync, coordinating globally with a preplanned time table of terror events – and hoped for catastrophic result.
So, let us be aware and be prepared, each American citizen, with a personal plan for safety. It is logical to expect more and more terror to come, because this vile administration must divide, wear down and conquer America before November……….
Foreign and domestic terror share the same goal of destroying America and annihilating all Jews.
To simplify:
Biden=Terror
Buddy the Cat Meow says
I’ve read about KKK groups being sued into bankruptcy. Is that a possibility here?
RAM says
These bums have deeper pockets.
Floyd Looney says
These governments are on their side, though
George says
And yet…the Jewish Secretary of Homeland Security Mayorkas, protected by the Jewish Senator Chuck Schumer, and the Jewish Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, and the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (along with Catholic Charities and the Red Cross) continue to aid and abet the importation of millions of unvetted migrants, many from the Middle East and many who hate Jews with a passion. This is just going to get worse.
Maybe this comment won’t be approved for publication, and if it is I might get a knock on the door from authorities because to point this out is probably considered antisemitism, but it’s not meant that way. How are we supposed to protect the American Jews while all this is happening? Why don’t the Jewish rank and file pressure their fellow Jews in leadership positions to at the very least vet everyone they are allowing in?
Chaya says
Yes, it is. Theres a long history you seem too angry and closed minded to even begin to comprehend Wow! You ARE very angry AT Jews.. Been rioting lately in LA?
For others who may be reading: The current administration uses several people of Jewish descent or DNA that are not supportive of The Jewish people or of israel. They seem to like to find these individuals (who in my opinion are broken and are no longer truly Jews). They use them to elicit hateful comments like to one I am responding to right here. Perhaps this administration enjoys watching them harm those related to their ancestors.
Why are there such individuals? I would need a long essay to answer that. Any group can have “traitors.” World wide anti-Semitic hatred and hatred over the centuries does a lot of family psychological damage, especially to those of weaker moral character (again, that’s my opinion).
George says
I’m not angry at the Jews. I’m suggesting there are additional ways ways they are can defend themselves against this madness. You’ve got a pretty poor argument if your response to someone speaking the truth about people behind the migrant crisis is a series of knee-jerk ad hominem attacks. Focus your ire for people who despise you, not your allies.
sue says
This level of lawlessness on the streets is very frightening. I am glad you have reported it. Thank God no-one was killed. But isn’t it only a matter of time if this is allowed to continue?
The current wicked system of things on the earth is very clever at dividing us (the children of Adam) and turning us against each other. Doesn’t Genesis tell us how quickly brother began to kill brother once our first parents had chosen to cut themselves off from their loving Creator?
Psalm 37 contains some perfect advice to counteract this. Please do read it and think very seriously about what it says, and the rescue it promises. We need some real hope.
In a minor key, and with Dr.Goska’s current review in mind, I am now gloomily awaiting the next Fry and Dunham movie – TREASURE 2 maybe – in which it turns out that this is all the fault of us horrid Poles/Polonians.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Some have already been killed.
Intrepid says
It seems that the pro-pallyswinian protestors only try this crap in areas where Jews are generally unarmed. And there never appears to be any instances of Jews actually fighting back.
A little more Krav Maga and a little less Yeshiva/Talmud studies might do you guys some good. Just sayin’
BTW, ‘Orange Shirt’ definitely looks Palestinian
Chaya says
I think we can have both approaches.
World@70 says
Are the police being threatened with their jobs to ignore these blatant assaults? Dedicated police don’t act this way. Is someone is holding a hammer over their heads? I wonder who that could be?
Intrepid says
I would bet it’s LA Mayor Karen Bassalong with her Soros puppet George Gascon.
SPURWING PLOVER says
As long as they allow violent mobs of these Ham-A** this mayhem will continue its time to start arresting and deporting them
Angel Jacob says
Stay armed. Get training for firearms.
Any kind of assault and use of force is fully justified.
Chaya says
If only there were real civil rights lawyers that would represent Jews in such communities and incidents to sue sue sue sue the pants off whoever dropped the ball and allowed threats, fear, damage to property, denial of access to places of religious worship, and heaven forbid injuries.
But most civil rights lawyers are raking in a bundle representing trans and others woke issues.
Duane says
Time to Lock N Load…
Floyd Looney says
Someone on Twitter says there was not one word of this in the LA Times today (print edition I guess)
John Sweet says
Where are the DOJ and FBI? Besides investigating and prosecuting Biden’s opponents.
Allen says
I don’t know whether Bass actually told the LAPD to stand down, as some of the stories are indicating. But can you imagine what Bass’ response would be if it was the KKK coming to the First AME Church?
RS says
Every American that has was brought up in an American culture, and Judeo-Christian society, and has relatives who fought in the World Wars, and understands tyranny, should be apalled at the War on the Jews. If they go after the Jews, they will also go after Christians and other religions that do not adapt to an Islamic, violent, culture, that is an affront to the Holy God, Yeshua, the Creator, and the One True God of all things on this earth.
Kasandra says
Has the FBI leapt into action to investigate this obvious violation of the congregants’ civil rights like they did when someone mistook a garage door pull for a noose on Bubba Wallace’s car’s garage stall at Talladega? Is DOJ trying to prosecute any of these Nazi wannabes like they did a 72 year old woman they recently sent to prison for praying outside an abortion clinic? This country’s leadership is disgusting. Totally without integrity, brains, or morals.
