Jews Attacked by Pro-Hamas Mob Outside of LA Synagogue

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom drew criticism on Sunday when mobs of pro-Hamas fanatics attacked Jews outside a synagogue in Los Angeles.

On Sunday morning, pro-Hamas fanatics assembled in front of the Adas Torah synagogue to block admission and disrupt a scheduled peaceful pro-Israel protest march.

There were multiple insistances of Jewish community members being maced/bear sprayed with no police response

Despite the violence directed at pro-Israel protesters, only one person was arrested.

I was there today for an event at the shul. @LAPDHQ let the Hamas supporters take over the sidewalk in front of the shul and block its entrance.

Newsom received widespread requests to act or at least publish a statement in reaction to the attacks, but he did not do so until much past midnight.
