A new terrorist movement is emerging in America.
Just as every cell in the human body has a complete copy of our genetic code, so too every terrorist rally is a microcosm of the entire movement threatening America, Israel and the world.
The mob that converged on Congregation Adas Torah in a Jewish neighborhood in West LA was smaller than the thousands that had terrorized communities in New York and London, but all the elements that make up the pro-terror side were represented outside the synagogue.
The PLO terror flags waved by the rioters represented more than just the cause to destroy Israel, but the red-green alliance: the Marxists and Islamists who marched under its banner.
There were the embittered red diaper babies with ragged gray curls over worn t-shirts, scowling middle aged Muslim men off from their day jobs as government employees or laundromat managers, the UCLA ‘bros’ with blonde hair, ski goggles and keffiyahs, and the Muslim twenty-something young men who came masked, armed and eager for violence.
The mob besieging the synagogue on Pico Boulevard past which a children’s parade had recently passed to celebrate the Lag Baomer interregnum between the biblical Passover and Pentecost came accompanied by all the infrastructure developed over the years of leftist riots.
The younger leftist thugs wore ski goggles and masks, carried skateboards and metal water bottles, ‘legal’ weapons typically seen during Antifa clashes, and some were likely among those who had previously terrorized Jewish students at the UCLA terror encampment. And it did not take much time before they were assaulting Jewish community members in the neighborhood.
The terrorist supporters had brought their own legal aid with them in the form of the sneering ‘observers’ from the National Lawyers Guild, a Communist Cold War era organization, in their caps and shirts. They also had human shields in the form of activists in black face masks holding up handwritten signs claiming that they were Jewish and opposed to the Jewish State.
A handful of women (who were by far the minority) circulated between the Jewish community members and the LAPD officers and the terrorist supporters to also provide cover for the repeated terrorist assaults in the ‘chicks out front’ doctrine from the Marxist riots of the 1960s.
In a small scale recreation of the Gaza war in the middle of Los Angeles, Muslim teenagers and men masked in keffiyahs gathered near an alley and launched sorties, attacking Jewish community members, then using bear spray to cover their retreat, hiding behind the women, the leftist activists and the ‘Jewish’ opponents of Israel who turned around and played victim.
The stakes might be smaller but here was Hamas, here were the Jewish targets, and here also was the support infrastructure of leftists activists, lawyers and ‘journalists’ covering for them.
The whole Islamic terrorist strategy of Jihadists masking up, attacking and then hiding behind human shields was playing out on a normal street between two synagogues, a tailor shop, a dress shop, a watch repair place, and several restaurants.
The microcosm of clashes outside the synagogue became a citywide and then a national story. Public officials were forced to condemn it, but the media, led by the LA Times, whitewashed the attacks, quoted officials from CAIR, whose leaders had celebrated the Oct 7 atrocities by Hamas, and then editorialized against security for synagogues and a terror mask ban.
By the time the LA Times, the rest of the media and the leftist allies of the Islamic thugs were done, attacking a synagogue and assaulting Jewish community members had become a virtue.
Much as the only person to face serious charges after the Hamas encampment at UCLA terrorized Jewish students was a Jewish high school student, so too the only person arrested by the police when terrorist supporters attacked a synagogue was a Jewish community member.
The ‘Israel’ model was playing out the same way in L.A. And it can play out this way anywhere.
That is the most important lesson of the assault on a previously unknown synagogue in a neighborhood that most people ignore while passing between Santa Monica and Downtown LA.
Many of us take comfort in the idea that the horrors we’ve seen in Israel are a local phenomenon. We believe that occasional acts of terrorism can happen in America, but not the endless slow burning generational conflicts that define life in Israel and the Muslim world.
What is happening in Israel is not an aberration but the essence of the Islamic conflict strategy.
Israel can be anywhere. And every country with a large Islamic colonizing population and Marxist activist class will face the same problems. America is not ready for the fight of its life.
After Oct 7, Islamists and Marxists launched a bid to mainstream Islamic violence.
Before the Hamas attack on Israel, Islamic violence in America was mostly made up of terrorist attacks by individuals or very small cells. The exceptions occurred on college campuses. Islamist organizations advocated for terrorists but did not actively engage in street violence.
All of that has changed now.
The attack on the LA Synagogue was part of a larger wave of Islamic street violence that is no longer confined to college campuses, but has spread into Christmas tree lightings, parades, coffee shops and random public spaces. What some view as the ‘BLM-ization’ of the Hamas cause is more than that. It’s the inevitable next step before the rise of domestic terror groups.
Large scale Islamic protest violence, known as the ‘Intifada’, enabled the Islamic terrorist groups in Israel. The ‘cartoon’ protests and other forms of Muslim street violence in Europe enabled the wave of terror attacks attributed to foreign groups such as ISIS.
The Oct 7 Hamas rallies in America are bringing together the Jihadists who will carry out large scale attacks in America. And the Marxists who will enable them and cover up for them.
After 9/11, we smashed Al Qaeda’s networks and the Islamic terror group along with counterparts like ISIS resorted to online recruitment in America and Europe. The problem was that it was all too easy for the FBI and other law enforcement organizations to pretend to be ISIS. Many aspiring Islamic terrorists in America ended up sharing their plans to shoot up churches and synagogues with informants. Others had to ineptly launch attacks on their own.
Successful Islamic terrorist attacks were carried out by Jihadists who acted on their own and did not try to join ISIS online or who had a trusted family member to help them, like the San Bernardino husband and wife team and the Boston Marathon bomber brothers.
Islamic street violence after Oct 7 is likely to change all that by creating a cadre of Muslim men who have committed crimes together in the name of Islam and know they can trust each other.
The normalization of Islamic street violence under the leftist umbrella is a national threat.
What we have been seeing in America since Oct 7 is the emergence of a new terror movement.
And what I saw outside a synagogue is that the terrorists of tomorrow are enabled by the Left.

Oct.7,2023 was the trigger to the mass Islamic emergence globally. Unless people fight back these people and groups will embolden themselves for dominance in every city, state and nation they reside in.

There are shanty towns…made of cardboard, tin and plywood, just outside the city limits of very large cities. And there are multi-million dollar mansions on the hillsides above the ocean. Either or both can be destroyed by the winds of a hurricane.
mozlums and their…temporary…supporters can, and do, attack any person they hate. Temporary supporters because one day, mozlums will turn on these just as they did in that berg in MI. And then it won’t be the mozlums whining about a fake phobia…just as it turned out in that berg in MI.
The book of demonic filth sets out the goal of world domination by the adherents of its grisly, ghoulish, feculent demands.
And many world governments are making it so very easy for mozlums to meet that goal.
The “end” is fast approaching.

2Thessalonians 2nd Chapter
Ephesians 6th Chapter
Revelation 18th Chapter
The Book of Obadiah
All in full view.
Being completely manifested in the HERE AND NOW.
Actual ZOMBIES all over the West. The EU, Canada, Australia and hopefully NOT the Leftist WOKEISM saturated alphabet-dominated USA.

The minions of Islam are coming for all of us. First the Saturday people, then Saturday people.

Then the Sunday people…

I don’t recall the ADL protesting all this anti-Semitic activity by the pro-Hamas brigands
carpediadem says
Even if they did, what makes you think anything would be done?
Jews are fair game.
Nick says
Why don’t the United Nations pass a resolution to make anti Semitism illegal – a crime against humanity? Oh, wait, the UN is anti Semitic. Sorry, I forgot!

10-15 years ago I read comments from Canadian Muslim Bros who said the Shura had planned stages of the takeovers and by 2025 they would take USA. Recommended getting into government, school boards all education, media, defund police etc in preparation for the Intifada. This was planned years ago. Who is ready for it? Who can give a heads up?

About 15-20 years ago I read in comments from Canadian Muslim Bros that the Shura had plans for the takeover of USA by 2025. Recommended getting into gov, school boards, teaching in all education, lay groundwork, defund police, etc. So now who is ready? Does FBI know anything?? Who will listen and who will give the heads up?

Just try to come after my family—we’re locked and loaded ready to defend our piece of this earth!! We all need to be stockpiling ammo and guns!!
NoTaqiyya says
The specter of Islamic terror enabled and protected by Leftard useful idiots will become an eyesore in the streets of every major city and even smaller ones throughout the United States.
The fruits of years of brainwashing inflicted on the new generations of misguided young Americans is already the enemy within.
The proverbial Trojan horse within the gates is a fact not urban legend. For the barbarians are no longer at the gates, but within the gates.

Read Eurabia the Euro-Arab axis by Bat Ye’or
Then read 2Thessalonians 2nd Chapter
If you’re not convinced you’ll help facilitate what should be a grandiose dream of Jihadists in America. We’re at a point where the enemy actually are looking at the brain-dead Left and do not realize we who love ❤️ the West believe in scorched earth ?. The pinkos don’t understand that they will be cannon fodder and kindling in the coming Holocaust that they are urging for. The Grace and Mercy of our God does have limitations and stipulations. The American Eagle is not prey I repeat NOT PREY, notwithstanding the philosophies of the effete Left. The NYC taxi drivers’ beheading of a Christ statue occurred in a Sanctuary City of leftist stupidity and ignorance. The equivalent of burning a Koran in Mecca. A stink test indeed. They are at the last red line and truly are convinced that we are all the brain-dead capitulated Lefties.
Troybeam says
Education is what people need to be doing and the right book for that is not the Koran but Reliance of the Traveller: Islamic sacred Law explains everything you need to know about Islam. Chapter 9 titled Jihad is a must to read.
Remember what Islam says and what Islam does are totally different and the mentioned book above explains all that.

We also saw a “Pro-Palestinian” protest on Easter Sunday, here in our San Diego, CA mega-church- first inside the worship service itself where there were two groups with cloth banner saying something about “How can you ask God to bless Israel… etc.” They sat through worship just blending in with the Easter crowd, and stood up with the banner as long as a row of seats as the pastor began to preach, and another group 15 minutes later. While security removed them each time, we chose to direct our attention away from them as a congregation and use it as a time to sing impromptu worship. We then were asked not to engage when we left worship, as they were on the sidewalk across from the church entrance with bullhorns, signs, etc. This went on for about 3-4 weeks, and SDPD put yellow tape to keep them on sidewalk, and worship music was played outside, and Christian (some former military) church volunteer security walked the sidewalks praying during worship. Then they adjoining park was cordoned off with policie tape so they could not enter.
The second Sunday they were outside, I was leaving early and encountered a young man with a Metallica shirt in distress coming out of the elevator. I asked him if he was all right, and he said he wasn’t feeling well and was sweating, hot – and said no, I didn’t need to help him. The next Sunday he was sitting in front of me in worship with another student, and left after worship, and smiled at me with a shining face. I don’t know if the Lord helped him, and he was one of the demonstrators who brought a girl friend demonstrator back for the “something different” that was going on during anointed worship, but something had changed.
The last Sunday, I was tired of being quiet in the face of evil – for that is what this spirit is – and began to worship outloud in song on the way in to the church walking by on the other side of the yellow side of the tape – because I couldn’t stand to let the demonic sounds coming from them go unresisted. The Bible says that when we praise and say the name of Jesus, demons flee. For whatever reason, they never came back. So that’s my story/observation about the enemy’s foray onto the diverse church of believers that refused to engage on a physical level, but with spiritual warfare.

What I Learned at a Jihad Terrorist Rally
……………………………………….
Daniel Greenfield, you are a courageous man for braving this terrorist rally–this could have been very dangerous. Thanks for your report.
