Police in Los Angeles are investigating an assault at an LA sushi restaurant. Allegedly, a pro-Palestinian mob walked in, asked if anyone was Jewish. When two customers said that they were, they were attacked.
One of the diners, who is not Jewish, told CBSLA a caravan waving pro-Palestinian flags approached and then began throwing bottles at him and the group he was dining with. The man said he is a photographer, and the group was meeting at the restaurant to plan a wedding.
“I was speaking to one guy, ‘Relax, why are they doing that,’” the man said. “Just protest peacefully.”
The man said he was physically attacked when he tried to defend the group. He said the men used anti-Jewish profanity.
“It was a hate crime,” he said. “It was prepared, they came to fight with Jewish people.”
This comes on the heels of an incident where a Jewish man was chased by a caravan of people waving Palestinian flags. LA Mayor Eric Garcetti felt prompted to publicly comment on that incident.
L.A. is a city of belonging, not of hate.
There is simply no place for anti-Semitism, discrimination, or prejudice of any kind in Los Angeles. And we will never tolerate bigotry and violence in our communities.
