Biden denounces antisemitic violence in Los Angeles
President Biden is denouncing antisemitic violence outside a Los Angeles synagogue. Over the weekend, pro-Palestinian demonstrations in a heavily Jewish neighborhood in L.A. turned violent, requiring police in riot gear to gain control. In a statement, the president said he was “appalled by the scenes” and that “intimidating Jewish congregants is dangerous, unconscionable, antisemitic, and un-American.” He went on to say that blocking access to a house of worship – and engaging in violence – is never acceptable.”
