US gives slap on the wrist to aggressive LA pro-Palestinian rioters – The Jerusalem Post

Posted By on June 27, 2024

The riots at the Adas Torah synagogue in Los Angeles Pico-Robertson neighborhood show that American society and authorities do not take the escalating rhetoric and threats by anti-Israel factions in the United States seriously.

RHETORIC AND actions have been heating up with the summer months.

Terrorist flags are steadily becoming more commonplace at protests, such as the New York City Resistance Coalitions protest at Hunter College, which saw a portrait of Hamass Gaza leader Yahya Sinwar flanked by Lions Den, Hamas, Izz ad-Din al-Qassam, Houthi Ansar Allah, and Hezbollah flags.

The Columbia University Apartheid Divest coalition and Students for Justice in Palestine, which was the progenitor of the encampments that have destabilized campuses across the US, issued a statement of support for alleged serial arsonist Casey Goonan on Thursday. Goonan was arrested last Monday for his involvement in four firebombing and arson attacks at the University of California, Berkeley as revenge for the shutting down of encampments in California.

AS IS often the case, the authorities believe the activists are all talk. They believe that the rhetoric about destroying Israel and the US Empire is merely aspirational and that praise for terrorism and calls for intifada and revolution will remain just words within the confines of the encampments. Yet, like in many previous cases, these students have gone out into the world, and surprisingly, they believe the words that they chant.

On April 15, the protesters called to cause economic damage to the US, push the adoption of anti-Israel policies, and shut down major American arteries. They said they would not be voting for President Joe Biden in the November elections and have been willing to go to political war with politicians in their own camp. They claimed that they have embraced a diversity of tactics and that their goal will be achieved by any means necessary, as the popular chant states, and now, they are not just spray-painting buildings but burning them down.
