(PM.) On Sunday, a California synagogue was targeted during a violent pro-Palestinian demonstration that turned into a bloody riot. Rioters assaulted journalists, deployed chemical sprays, prevented Jews from entering their house of worship, and brutally beat multiple Israel supporters outside the synagogue. At least one was left bloodied, video footage shows.
Violent clashes occurred outside the Adas Torah Synagogue in Los Angeles around 1:40 pm. Pro-Palestinian demonstrators surrounded the house of worship and called for a bloody revolution. Jews formed a line in front of the synagogue to protect it, and the LAPD was forced to deploy crowd control munitions to deter the unruly ceasefireagitators, according to video footage.
