The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom faced backlash on Sunday as mobs of pro-Hamas extremists attacked Jews outside of a synagogue in Los Angeles. The pro-Hamas extremists gathered in front of the Adas Torah synagogue on Sunday morning to block entrance into the buildings and to disrupt a planned peaceful rally of pro-Israel protesters. Despite the violence that was inflicted on the pro-Israel protesters, only one person was arrested for allegedly carrying a “spiked flag,” The Los Angeles Times reported. Rabbi Hertzel Illulian blasted local officials in the Democrat-run state for having a double standard about how Jews can be treated. “Doesn’t belong here,” he said. “I don’t think the Jewish would go in front of a mosque or the Christian people would go in front of a mosque to do such a thing, nobody would accept this, but here, when it comes to Jews and Israel everything is kosher, everything is okay.” Political consultant Noah Pollak, who attended the event, posted on X: “I was there today for an event at the shul. @LAPDHQ let the Hamas supporters take over the sidewalk in front of the shul and block its entrance.” “In fact, LAPD had formed a cordon around the front of the shul to keep Jews out and Hamas supporters in,” he continued. “I tried to enter with my kids through the front door and was turned away not by Hamas supporters but by the LAPD. Anyone who wanted to attend had to use a secret back entrance. @KarenBassLA and @LAPDHQ are an absolute disgrace — it’s clear the police have been instructed to help the Democratic Party street animals do their thuggery. They were definitely not there to protect the right of Jews to enter their shul.” The United Jewish Coalition issued a statement following the incident: “The Jews of Los Angeles are no longer safe. The events of June 23rd brought to life the darkest nightmare many of us hoped we would never witness on American soil.” Newsom faced widespread calls to do something or at least issue a statement in response to the attacks, but he didn’t get around to doing it until right before midnight.

Such antisemitic hatred has no place in California.” The following are some of the scenes that unfolded in Los Angeles: Absolute chaos pic.twitter.com/ii7C1Opaz3 — Los Angeles Scanner (@LosAngeles_Scan) June 23, 2024 There were multiple insistances of Jewish community members being maced/bear sprayed with no police response the LAPD was deployed in riot gear but did nothing for nearly an hour, failed to separate protesters from counterprotesters, intervene or put up barriers pic.twitter.com/OQ4Vh83gIc — Daniel Greenfield – "Hang Together or Separately" (@Sultanknish) June 23, 2024 this is exactly how it had previously played in the attack by terrorist supporters on the nearby Museum of Tolerance and at UCLA with the LAPD standing there and doing nothing until the violence escalated pic.twitter.com/wjra3U2mht — Daniel Greenfield – "Hang Together or Separately" (@Sultanknish) June 23, 2024 Hamas supporters were able to freely roam around a Jewish neighborhood in the Pico-Robertson area threatening people a Muslim man in a keffiyeh told me "billions will come to kill you" some clearly came prepped for violence like this guy wearing ski goggles in 90 degree weather pic.twitter.com/SfiCLhDstz — Daniel Greenfield – "Hang Together or Separately" (@Sultanknish) June 23, 2024 Many Jewish community members, including teenage girls and families, took a risk by coming to what they thought would be a safe rally only to face violence and threats this is a failure by Mayor @KarenBassLA and the @911LAPD but also by the Jewish community leadership which pic.twitter.com/lfVjhnPJTG — Daniel Greenfield – "Hang Together or Separately" (@Sultanknish) June 23, 2024 Calling for violence against Jews is always horrific. But it’s especially evil to shout it outside a synagogue at a Jewish neighborhood.

As pro-life conservatives and Republicans celebrate the second anniversary of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, President Joe Biden released a video urging Democrats to keep him in the White House for a second term to “fight like hell” against “extremism” and bring back complete abortion protections in all 50 states. In a 45-second spot posted by the president’s account on YouTube on Sunday, Biden quotes his opponent Donald Trump’s support for the overturning of Roe. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee has boasted that he “was able to kill Roe v. Wade.” “Two years ago, the Supreme Court justices that Trump handpicked helped overturn Roe v. Wade,” Biden said. “Decades of progress shattered just because the last guy got four years in the White House. We know what will happen if he gets another four.” The president then blasted Trump’s supporters as the video showed a clip of the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Biden claimed that Republicans will push to ban abortion “nationwide” before they target “IVF and birth control next.” “We’re up against extremism,” Biden continued. “Send me back to the White House and I’ll fight like hell to restore Roe v. Wade and protect American freedom. In a 6-3 decision on June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned the high court’s 1973 decision that paved the way for the U.S. to become one of the most radical pro-abortion countries in the world. The 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health ruling was made possible by three Trump-appointed conservative justices — Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney-Barrett — joining Justices John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito. While Chief Justice Roberts argued that the Dobbs decision did not need to go as far as overturning Roe, Alito wrote in the majority opinion that “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start.” “Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences. And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division,” Alito added. “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.” Biden and the Democratic Party launched a full-out abortion blitz immediately following the Dobbs decision, which the party says helped mobilize its base for the 2022 midterms, where Democrats across the country outperformed expectations. The pro-abortion side has won at the ballot box every time in the months and years after Roe’s reversal, even in red states such as Kansas, Kentucky, and Ohio. Earlier this year, Trump came out against Arizona’s near-total abortion ban and questioned Florida’s six-week abortion limitations. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “So for 52 years, people have been wanting to end Roe v. Wade to get it back to the states. We did that. It was an incredible achievement,” Trump said in April. “And now the states have it, and the states are putting out what they want. It’s the will of the people. So Florida is probably going to change; Arizona is definitely going to change. Everybody wants that to happen.” Many Republicans also expressed their support for IVF after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled in February that frozen embryos should be recognized and protected as unborn children. Just weeks later, with support from Trump, Alabama Republican Governor Kay Ivey signed a bill into law that protected IVF providers following the state Supreme Court’s decision.

Whenever you encounter an animal in the wild, it’s always important to stay safe — no matter how adorable they might be. This is all-the-more true, of course, when it comes to massive creatures like gray whales. Still, if you’ve never had the opportunity to be around one, you might be surprised at their degree of friendliness. Despite humans’ history with these mammals, more recently, their relationship with us has become quite wholesome. This is something you can see in tons of gray whale watching videos. Still, there’s something particularly special about the one uploaded by Natalia Fimbres, a Wildlife Ecotourism Operator. Despite the number of similar adventures she’s been on, even she was amazed at the way a gray whale happily approached her group’s boat. With Coldplay playing through speaker, the humans and this curious whale interact in an unforgettable way. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Natalia Moreno Fimbres (@natsoffthegrid) Between the pets and kisses, this is certainly a magical moment for everyone involved! In fact, there’s even a moment where the whale turns over on their back, seemingly asking for belly rubs. How cute is that!? “And we had one of the most incredible interaction of the season,” Natalia shares in the caption of her video. “I hope you feel the energy and the [endorphins] running through your body as you witness the beauty and power of this leviathan of the sea.” Woman Captures Unforgettable Interaction During Gray Whale Watching Adventure Based on many of the comments, it’s clear that even witnessing this moment on social media is having a positive impact on folks. “I think they are as curious about us as we are of them,” someone writes, “and it looks like they might like being touched.” “This was so beautiful to watch,” another person shares. “I imagine your souls were FILLED with love, joy, and gratitude. You ladies are so lucky!!” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here! The post Massive Gray Whale Approaches Boaters To “Ask” For Pets & Chin Rubs appeared first on InspireMore.
