The Los Angeles Times reports:
A violent clash Sunday between pro-Palestinian demonstrators and supporters of Israel engaged outside a synagogue in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood of Los Angeles was condemned by Mayor Karen Bass, who ordered more police patrols in the area and at houses of worship around the city….
Pro-Palestinian activists began gathering in front of the Adas Torah synagogue in the 9000 block of West Pico Boulevard shortly before 11 a.m., L.A. Police Officer Tony Im said. They were quickly met with counterdemonstrators, many of them carrying Israeli flags.
Video posted on social media showed fistfights breaking out among protesters, some of whom wielded sticks and handles from protest signs as police in riot gear stood nearby. Numerous scuffles occurred along the street, with some protesters hurling obscenities as they wrestled one another to the ground.
More chaos. This is not Gaza. This is Los Angeles. ????????????

About 50 pro-Palestine men showed up and tried to bash their way into Adas Torah synagogue around noon. TV helicopters and pro-Israel counter-protesters showed up. A car drove into the protesters. Some people got bloodied. LAPD showed up with about 50 squad cars and closed off Pico Blvd much of Sunday afternoon and made several arrests.
