Car Ramming Attack Attempted at LA Synagogue Sukkot Concert, Says Security Group

A Jewish congregation in Los Angeles was left in shock on Wednesday night after a man reportedly attempted to ram into a crowd of people as they were attending a Sukkot holiday concert.

According to Magen Am, a non-profit that provides security to Jewish institutions, the attacker allegedly accelerated down a one-way alley into a crowd of women and children as the concert at LA’s Shaarei Tefila synagogue was coming to an end.

The crowd of about 20 to 30 managed to jump out of the path of the vehicle before the assailant stopped short in front of a metal gate, yelled “f**k the Jews” and left, the group said.

The group also said that about 20 minutes prior, the man had “canvassed” the event and issued threats, saying, “I’m a real Muslim, I’ll show you what real terrorism looks like.”

It is only a matter of time, and then we will be treated to a host of crocodile tears and strawman bullshit, as well as, distractions from the actual victims, and more sympathy shown for the perps. We Jews are expected to "heal the world" except when it comes to our won people, then we are made to shut up or are silenced by the systemic bigotry worked against us.

The Los Angeles Police Department told The Algemeiner that officers responded to the scene at around 10:57 pm to a call of a possible hate crime, and completed a report for criminal threats.



It's not possible. It IS a hate crime.

It's plain as day. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Someone saw the license plate or cctv picked it up. It's only a matter of time.
