It wasn’t Berlin in 1934. This was Los Angeles in 2024.
A mob gathered to “demonstrate” outside of a synagogue in Los Angeles on Sunday, while an event was taking place inside. According to Breitbart News, the event was a meeting about buying real estate in Israel. So the pro-Hamas crowd showed up – with bear spray, among other things. This was not a peaceful protest, and it was never meant to be one. This was meant to be a targeted attack. While it doesn’t quite fit the textbook definition of a pogrom, it sure got damned close. While national media (aside from more right-leaning outlets) isn’t covering this mob protest, local news did – though they had to go try and “both sides” the confrontation.
Scattered bouts of violence and fist fights broke out during dueling protests over the fighting in the Middle East in the predominantly Jewish neighborhood of Pico-Robertson on Sunday.
Los Angeles Police Department officers were first sent to the 9000 block of Pico Boulevard after learning of the ongoing incident, according to officers.
It reportedly began when pro-Palestinian supporters gathered outside of the Abas Torah synagogue and attempted to block the entrance, where they were promptly met by pro-Israel demonstrators.
Both sides could be seen carrying flags and signs supporting their individual causes.
SkyCal flew overhead as the protests escalated into violence at times, with people throwing kicks and punches as the large group of people moved through the streets in the area.
“Doesn’t belong here,” said Rabbi Hertzel Illulian when asked about the violence in the area. “I don’t think the Jewish would go in front of a mosque or the Christian people would go in front of a mosque to do such a thing, nobody would accept this, but here, when it comes to Jews and Israel everything is kosher, everything is okay.”
And the mob did more than just “block the entrance,” according to those on the scene.
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. In fact, LAPD had formed a cordon around the front of the shul to keep Jews out and Hamas supporters in. I tried to enter with my kids… https://t.co/ZKPPppO55H

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. In fact, LAPD had formed a cordon around the front of the shul to keep Jews out and Hamas supporters in. I tried to enter with my kids through the front door and was turned away not by Hamas supporters but by the LAPD. Anyone who wanted to attend had to use a secret back entrance. @KarenBassLA and @LAPDHQ are an absolute disgrace — it’s clear the police have been instructed to help the Democratic Party street animals do their thuggery. They were definitely not there to protect the right of Jews to enter their shul.
While the LAPD did respond to one report of a gun being brandished, resulting in a couple of arrests, the mob was not deterred by the presence of the LAPD in the least.

And it spread out a lot further than just in front of the synagogue. Remember, this is a Jewish neighborhood in Los Angeles – which means that the synagogue is located centrally to many homes.

So, what does Mayor Karen Bass have to say about the city of Los Angeles and the disgraceful events of Sunday? Her Twitter/X feed has nothing about it as of late Sunday night. What does presidential candidate wannabe Governor Gavin Newsom have to say about this? Zippity-doo-dah-jack. One of his more recent tweets is bitching about how Louisiana passed a law mandating the Ten Commandments be posted in school classrooms, and how they have “the worst crime rate in the nation.” Hmmmm, I don’t see scenes like this happening in Louisiana, Governor Hair Gel. And if the governor has not yet had a chance to glance over the anti-Semitism report out of Stanford University (tellingly titled “It’s in the Air”: Antisemitism and Anti-Israeli Bias at Stanford, and How to Address It), well, he really shouldn’t be spending his time on worrying about what Louisiana does or doesn’t do. He’s got a FULL set of problems in his own state, as this report “unanimously” concludes that “antisemitism exists today on the Stanford campus in ways that are widespread and pernicious.” Huh. Stanford is in northern California, and Los Angeles is the hub of southern California. Methinks the problem that the governor has to deal with mayhap be widespread across his entire state!
But let’s forget about Bass and Newsom for a second. Where is Joe Biden? Surely he would want to condemn this brazen display of anti-Semitism in Los Angeles!
.@AndrewBatesNC Andy, sorry to interrupt your 6 long day debate preparation, but could you please retrieve the president from his restorative Kolto Tank so he can speak out against Jews being attacked at synagogues while he is the President?

Oh, that’s right. President Elderly Man with a Poor Memory is spending an entire WEEK at Camp David preparing for this coming Thursday’s debate, which includes… wait for it… STANDING UP FOR 90 MINUTES STRAIGHT. I wish I was kidding. So he’s DEFINITELY too busy to comment on this pogrom attempt in Los Angeles.
The pro-Hamas crowd is getting more brazen and more dangerous, and the Democrats are facing massive division within their own party with this obvious rise in anti-Semitism. Joe Biden is desperate to keep placate the mob in order to win Michigan – and if that means a synagogue in Los Angeles has a massive protest and people get attacked – oh well. I can’t wait to see how this hands-off pandering plays out in Chicago this August.
