Video on social media shows fistfights among protesters, some of whom are wielding sticks and handles from protest signs as police in riot gear stand nearby.
Dozens of pro-Palestinian demonstrators and supporters of Israel engaged in a violent clash Sunday outside a synagogue in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood of Los Angeles. Pro-Palestinian activists began gathering in front of the Adas Torah synagogue in the 9000 block of West Pico Boulevard shortly before 11 a.m., L.A. Police Officer Tony Im told City News Service. They were quickly met with counterdemonstrators, many of them carrying Israeli flags.
Rabbi Hertzel Illulian, founder of the JEM Community Center in Beverly Hills, told KCAL News that the protest 'doesn't belong' in front of a synagogue. '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.
