Rioters Loot Jewish Stores, Vandalize Synagogue in L.A.: ‘Free Palestine’; ‘F*** Israel’
Rioters ostensibly participating in Black Lives Matter protests against the killing last week of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis tore through a heavily Jewish neighborhood of Los Angeles Saturday night, ransacking stores and vandalizing a synagogue.
“**** Israel” and “Free Palestine” were among the messages scrawled on the outside of Congregation Beth Israel on Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles.
The riots in the area also disrupted synagogues that were attempting to reopen legally for the first time since the start of the coronavirus outbreak. Saturday marked both the Jewish Sabbath and the holiday of Shavuot.
Breitbart News learned Sunday of several stores owned by Jews in the Beverly Hills area, including a kosher supermarket, that had been looted by rioters.
