Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) were silent Sunday after an antisemitic mob targeted the Adas Torah synagogue in the Jewish neighborhood of Pico-Robertson.
Protesters were reported to have surrounded the synagogue and prevented people from being able to enter.
Jews around the world are considering relocating to Israel due to antisemitic violence. In addition, some Jews wish to move to Israel out of religious sentiment; to retire there; or simply to own vacation homes or investment properties there.
The outlet noted that the confrontations between protesters and counter-protesters began with verbal confrontations, and then moved on to physical fights.
Several protesters were reportedly detained; however, law enforcement officials said nobody had been arrested, according to the outlet.

Neither Bass nor Newsom had said anything regarding the antisemitic mob that targeted the Jewish synagogue, or the subsequent violence.
Breitbart News reached out to Bass’s office but had not received a reply at the time of publication Sunday evening.
