Hollywood Jews Slam Violence Outside L.A. Synagogue as ‘Horrifying,’ Vow to ‘Mobilize’
Hollywood’s Jewish community is on edge in the wake of pro-Palestinian protests outside of an L.A. synagogue and CNN anchor Jake Tapper's house.
Gavin Newsom blasted the protest, calling it “antisemitic,” while Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who spoke at press conference at the Museum of Tolerance on Monday evening, said “blocking access to a place of worship is unacceptable.” “The demonstration in front of the Adas Torah synagogue over the weekend was in response to the blatant violations of both international law and human rights from [real estate] agencies that seek to make a profit selling brutally stolen Palestinian land as the Israeli government continues its eight-month-long genocidal campaign and ethnic cleansing in Gaza,” he said. And from their actions, it’s clear that these violent anti-Israel mobs feel even more emboldened and justified to threaten and attack Jews anytime and anywhere, at schools, restaurants, subways, hospitals, Holocaust museums, synagogues, in their neighborhoods and homes.”
