Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti decries alleged pro-Palestinian attack on Jewish diners, possible hate crime

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti condemned an alleged violent attack on Jewish diners by a mob of pro-Palestinian supporters Wednesday night that is being investigated as a possible hate crime.

In a pair of tweets addressing the violence, Garcetti, a Democrat, wrote there is "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." "We as a city condemn last night's organized, anti-Semitic attack," he added. "Jewish Angelenos, like all residents, should always feel safe in our city." In various video clips, one man is seen being thrown to the ground while another grabs a line divider pole separating the sidewalk from an outdoor dining area and swings it at the attackers.
