    Tragic.

    La daily news article

    Rabbi Michael Barclay of Temple Ner Simcha in Westlake Village, near Thousand Oaks, urged people to avoid jumping to conclusions about what happened.

    He said police are being cautious before making accusations. “We need to do the same; and not let this become a spark that starts an inferno,” he wrote.

    Before people use this incident to instigate hate, I will point out even in the thumbnail photo, people are assisting the man from both protest groups.

      Because most people from both groups just want peace. They just don’t agree on the definition of peace. But both of them want the war to stop. If only they were in agreement on the details, they would get along.

      So I would say that they were, in general, good people. And that’s why they helped him.

        israel is actively advocating for and committing genocide to expand their lebensraum. Even in the west bank where the is no Hamas.

        You cannot in good conscience say anyone supporting israel wants peace. That’s like saying people waving a Russian flag only want peace in Ukraine, but even worse since Russia only wants to annex Ukraine instead of replace it’s population with their own israeli Ubermensch.

      If it was by a megaphone, that implies it was by a organizer which doesn’t look good. It’s already hard enough to not look anti-semitic while supporting Palestine without these events happening all around the world. (Plus synagogues getting threatened and so forth.)

        Palestinians are semites too, how can supporting semites be anti-semitic?

          because your defintion of the word is wrong. Here is the worldwide accepted definition of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism

          Antisemitism (also spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism)[a] is hostility to, prejudice towards, or discrimination against Jews.[2][3][4] This sentiment is a form of racism,[5][6] and a person who harbours it is called an antisemite.

          and especially regarding your statement:

          Though ‘antisemitism’ could be construed as prejudice against people who speak other Semitic languages, this is not how the term is commonly used.

            The word is completely wrong, not his definition. Not all semites are Jews. The semites are a race of people that originate from the region of Palestine including Arabs. Arab is a Semitic language.

            If anything the Palestinians look a lot more like Semites than the Zionists from Europe.

            It’s like saying being anti-black would mean you hate Christians because some black people in Africa used to be Christian.

              Yes but when a dictionary does its job and is trustworthy then that is practically the same thing. And in this case it is very much right. Ask anyone what antisemitism means and they will mention Jewish people not people who speak semitic languages.

            Then they should use a different word, and stop hiding behind it to escape legitimate criticism.

          That sounds like one of those “I can’t be racist against African Americans since all of us are from Africa originally” lines.

          You know what is meant by the word and words are defined by usage not by origin.
