The latest antisemitic pogrom to plague America’s streets was a unilateral and unprompted act of aggression against Jews at a Los Angeles synagogue, but you wouldn’t know it if you read Democratic hand-wringing over the barbarism, let alone the media outlets pretending there were very fine people on both sides.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass lambasted the “violence in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood” as
“abhorrent,” but she didn’t name or blame the perpetrators, keffiyeh-clad pro-Palestinian rioters who had specifically targeted the Adas Torah synagogue to protest Israel. CBS News reported that “fights [broke] out during dueling protests in Pico-Robertson” after pro-Palestinian protesters “were promptly met by pro-Israel demonstrators.” ABC News called these supposed demonstrators “counterprotesters.”
