DON’T YOU DARE LOOK AWAY!

[notahaterbutakvetcher]

Open letter to everyone silent on the pogram in LA yesterday (being Sunday, June 23rd), despite reblogging misinformation after misinformation about Israel’s unique evil:

I see you. I see how quiet you are. I see how afraid you are, how scary it is to comment on it, because of the backlash you might face for “not supporting the movement.” I see the indecision as you hover over the reblog button.

And I am calling you a coward for it.

How dare you refuse to acknowledge what is happening within your own movement. How dare you claim to be on the side of peace, and allow yourself to ignore what your own protesters are doing.

I see you, and I am disgusted with you.

Elat Market, 8730 W Pico Blvd, Los Angeles (Pico-Robertson), CA 90035

Elat Market is one of several kosher grocery stores in the area. It’s a medium-sized market, a bit smaller than the Glatt Market on the same block. The two stores carry similar brands and Glatt seems a bit cheaper with a better selection. For example, Sabra Hummus was $2.99 at Elat and $2.49 at Glatt.

Kosher markets carry mostly brands you don’t see at non-kosher markets but they have similar products. Elat Market has fresh meat, fresh produce, bakery items (lavash, pita, rugelach), cheese, ice cream, yogurt, nuts, tea, coffee, pasta, rice, spices, canned food, snacks, etc.

I didn’t see hot prepared food but they did have kosher sushi. It has a staffed bulk nuts and beans area, desserts counter, butchers, and a staffed counter for cheese, olives, and charcuterie. The aisles are narrow.

My picks:

Nougat, $8.99

Holy Hummus, $6.29 each

No refunds or exchanges. They have a small parking lot in the back.

3.5 out of 5 stars.

The Palestinian Youth Movement organized the protest to object to a sale of Palestinian land scheduled to take place at the Synagogue. A report from the Times of Israel confirmed the real estate sale was to take place at Adas Torah on Sunday, June 23. Such sales are illegal under international law.  

There is footage at the link.... they describe "violence erupting" but the footage clearly shows its all coming from the zionists

Anyways let's see what our president had to say about the auctioning of stolen land

Thanks, Joe

Multiple nationwide “No Kings Day” demonstrations are planned for June 14, which is also Flag Day and when the Trump administration will stage a massive military parade in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday.

June 14 is also President Donald Trump’s birthday.

The “No Kings Day” demonstrations planned will protest Trump and his administration’s policies.

Here’s what you need to know.

What is “No Kings Day”?

Organizers describe “No Kings Day” as “a nationwide day of defiance.”

“From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism—and show the world what democracy really looks like,” the organization’s website said. “We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind. The flag doesn’t belong to President Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.”

Are there “No Kings Day” events planned for California?

All the demonstrations are planned for Saturday, June 14.

Dana Point — 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the intersection of Selva Road and Pacific Coast Highway

Laguna Beach — Noon to 2 p.m. at Pacific Coast Highway and Main Beach

Huntington Beach — Noon to 1:30 p.m. at PCH and Warner Avenue

What’s happening in Washington, D.C., on June 14?

A large-scale military parade and festival set to take place in the nation’s capital on June 14, the service’s 250th anniversary—and also Trump’s birthday.

The event will feature hundreds of military vehicles, aircraft, concerts, fireworks and more than 6,700 soldiers in a display of force not seen in Washington in decades, according to The Associated Press.

The parade is expected to cost $45 million and could result in $16 million in damage to streets in the nation’s capital, according to MSNBC.

Critics have raised concerns about Trump’s decision to hold a costly military parade while service members, veterans and their families face the impact of cuts to federal programs and services.

L.A.’s largest Jewish neighborhood was the site of an anti-Jewish riot on Sunday, as a pro-Hamas and Hezbollah mob attacked Jews and blocked access to a synagogue where an Israel real estate fair was taking place. At around 11 a.m., rioters gathered outside Adas Torah Synagogue in the Pico-Robertson area and came mask/kefiyyeh-to-face against Jews who had come to rally in support of Israel, responding to a call on social media to turn out after recent Israel real estate events in other cities, including Teaneck, NJ and Toronto, drew antisemitic hordes, and one in Brooklyn was preemptively canceled because police would not guarantee the safety of attendees.

LAPD riot police responded to the chaotic scene and eventually cleared the area in front of the synagogue. But what happened in between is drawing ire from Jewish community leaders.

Political consultant Noah Pollak posted on X that he was at the synagogue and that the LAPD “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.”

Shouting now familiar slogans including “Long live the intifada!” and “There is only one solution, intifada revolution,” the crowd quickly grew violent, punching and shoving and weaponizing bottles, sticks, and even their sign handles to attack Jews. Bear spray was also used, including against journalist Cam Higby, who posted videos of the attack on social media.

Police made only a single arrest – for carrying a prohibited “spiked flag.” They are reportedly investigating two allegations of battery.

Echoing coverage of the Israel-Hamas war, many news outlets framed the incident as a spontaneous “brawl,” “outbreak of violence” and “violent clash” (CNN’s take was “Violent scuffles break out between pro-Palestinian demonstrators and counter protestors in Los Angeles”) – yet this was anything but a random, unforeseen occurrence. Community activist and former Los Angeles City Council candidate Sam Yebri posted on X that “these terrorists told us when and where they were coming. For a week, we pleaded with our elected leaders to speak up. Not one made a public statement condemning these extremists.” He said elected officials “told LAPD to stand down and not intervene… Fortunately, proud Jews and well-organized Jewish groups stepped up to prevent a mass casualty event and the total destruction of the Pico-Robertson.” The Palestinian Youth Movement LA and Code Pink LA were among those behind Sunday’s riot.

“It’s like the media [are] bending over backwards to be politically correct,” the founder of Americans Against Antisemitism, former New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind, told The Jewish Press. “The people that appeared at the synagogue [in Los Angeles] were radical Palestinians, Arabs, others who were there to disrupt. There are no two sides to that story. There is only one side, there are the good guys, and the other, the evil guys.”

Yebri said what occurred in front of the synagogue is “a dark stain in the history of Los Angeles. Violent extremists who proudly praise Hamas and Hezbollah marched outside an Orthodox synagogue in America’s most heavily Jewish neighborhood outside of New York – where my kids go to school, where my family worships, where my family eat and shop – and brazenly terrorized Jewish Angelenos with impunity and without any consequence. These violent masked domestic terrorists bludgeoned Jews, vandalized synagogues, schools and stores, keyed cars, assaulted anyone who appeared Jewish blocked Jews from entering their synagogue, and chanted for the genocide of the Jewish people. These violent masked domestic terrorists are now dispersing into Jewish neighborhoods hunting Jews and causing more destruction and vandalism.”

Indeed, videos of so-called “Jew-hunting” on the on the streets of L.A. that same day have circulated on social media, one showing stick-wielding thugs exiting their car to attack Jews, and another showing a mass of screaming protestors, having moved on from outside the synagogue, making their way down the block of a Jewish neighborhood threatening residents.

“Pro-Hamas and Hezbollah extremists violently attacked American Jews in Los Angeles and the politicians ordered the police to do nothing to defend them,” wrote Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. “Radical leftists and Islamists are ruining our country.”

Late Sunday night, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass issued statements denouncing the morning’s violence, specifically condemning the targeting of a house of worship. President Biden also issued a statement of condemnation.

Meanwhile, on the East Coast, a Jewish woman and her husband were attacked and beaten at their children’s graduation at a Brooklyn elementary school last week. Members of an Arabic-speaking family at P.S. 682 in Gravesend threw the man to the ground, grabbed his legs, and kicked and punched him. To the tune of “Free Palestine!” “Gaza is Ours!” and “Death to Israel!” the man was put in a chokehold and assaulted with a sharp stiletto heel the couple alleged.

The Jewish mom and her husband, a Dominican who is Catholic, shared their story with the New York Post after police refused to classify the incident as a hate crime. The NYPD is now investigating the incident further. “They targeted my family because we are Jewish,” said the woman, whose 10-year-old twins witnessed the assault, and whose 16-year-old was punched in the face after trying to help his father. While trying to video the assault, the mother was also attacked, pulled by her hair from behind and knocked to the ground by a woman shouting, “I will kill you.”

“The other side is saying, ‘Oh, they started it,’” Hikind said. “We in the Jewish community should be very, very concerned about the future…I say that because unfortunately, there’s no leadership as far as I’m concerned. These incidents happen, there’s no plan, there’s no plan to deal with everything going on…There are so many situations that don’t even make the news, so things are even worse than what we think they are.”

In an incident which did make the news last week, a mob of teens attacked a 41-year-old hasidic man late one night in Williamsburg with traffic cones and bottles while shouting antisemitic slurs. The NYPD hate crimes task force is investigating.

As of May 21, antisemitic crimes were up 55% in New York City compared with the same time last year – amounting to 143 incidents, according to the NYPD. Nationally, the Anti-Defamation League reported a record high of 8,873 antisemitic incidents in 2023 – a 140% rise over 2022 – with 5,200 of those occurring after October 7. The period of October 7 through January 7 saw a 361% rise over the previous year. Figures for 2024 are not yet available.

“There are no consequences for antisemitism,” Hikind told The Jewish Press. The message violent demonstrators get, in his words: “You’re free. Go ahead and do it tomorrow again.”

A former California man who shot and wounded two Jewish men last year as they left religious services in the Pico-Robertson area of Los Angeles was sentenced today to 35 years in prison.

Jaime Tran, 30, formerly of Riverside, pleaded guilty on June 3 to two counts of hate crimes with intent to kill and two counts of using, carrying, and discharging a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence.

“After years of spewing antisemitic vitriol, the defendant planned and carried out a two-day attack attempting to murder Jews leaving synagogue in Los Angeles,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “Vile acts of antisemitic hatred endanger the safety of individuals and entire communities, and allowing such crimes to go unchecked endangers the foundation of our democracy itself. As millions of Jewish Americans prepare to observe the High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the Justice Department reaffirms its commitment to aggressively confronting, disrupting, and prosecuting criminal acts motivated by antisemitism, or by hatred of any kind. No Jewish person in America should have to fear that any sign of their identity will make them the victim of a hate crime.”

“Targeting people for death based solely on their religious and ethnic background brings back memories of the darkest chapters in human history,” said U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada for the Central District of California. “Such hate-fueled violence has no place in America. We hope the sentence imposed today sends a strong message to all in our community that we will not tolerate antisemitism and hate of any sort. For those who engage in hate crimes, the punishment will be severe.”

“This country was founded by many who fought for religious freedom, and practicing our religion continues to be a sacred and fundamental right,” said Assistant Director in Charge Akil Davis of the FBI Los Angeles Field Office. “The FBI will always defend that constitutional right. Those who violate the First Amendment by violent acts, those who would target the innocent based on hatred, will be held accountable.”

“While this sentencing cannot fully restore the sense of safety stolen from the two victims and the Jewish community, it is a decisive step towards justice and a clear message that such acts of hate and violence will not be tolerated,” said Los Angeles Police Chief Dominic Choi.

my aunt use to leave across Steven Spielberg's mom's restaurant in the Pico-Robertson Jewish neighborhood. I met her a few times just walking the street there as she was just walking with her body guards. Total sweetheart. I doubt this woman even lived in the same city as us.

omggggg btw i constantly think abt the video of her namedropping her son to the lubbavitcher rebbe (n him having no idea who he is). an absolute classic

I braved multiple freeways yesterday to get from the south South Bay to Pico-Robertson and was rewarded with both red and green curry paste in addition to the parmesan and sufganiya I was seeking so, going to say it was worth it despite the whole multiple freeways thing.

[girlactionfigure]

The footage from outside of Adas Torah Synagogue in Los Angeles are horrifying for Jews around the world.

The media is covering this story as “clashes” because the Jewish community defended itself against the attacks.

It wasn’t clashes.

You don’t come to a Jewish neighborhood and chant for the death of Jews outside of a synagogue because you care about peace. You do it because you hate Jews.

Never Again is right now.

[notahaterbutakvetcher]

ALSO just to add on to my earlier post

It is bananas that everyone supporting this pogram is doing it in the name of “defending Palestinian land being auctioned off.”

Mayhaps there are reasons that there’s an event in a prominent Jewish area, showing places to live in the Jewish state right now. And this protest is ONE OF THEM. Anglo literally is just the translation of English-speaking.
