Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, LA County Sheriff Robert Luna, and more officials met with the community in Pico-Robertson Monday for a discussion on how to prevent antisemitism.
"Today we’re not just here to stand in solidarity against last week’s shootings; we are here locked-arms against all forms of hate, bigotry, and discrimination, because antisemitism goes against the values of our city and goes against our humanity," she said.Federal hate crime charges filed in shooting of 2 Jews leaving synagogues in Pico-Robertson
Community members were invited to write questions on note cards that had been placed on their seats. Readers then collected the note cards and summarized questions for the speakers. Mayor Bass was asked about how to talk to children about antisemitism. "I think the most important thing to tell them is that we will stamp this out, that people are standing in support with the Jewish community, and that it is not going to be tolerated in Los Angeles," she said. Many speakers suggested that education is key. "I know that hate crimes are terribly underreported, and I believe there needs to be a PR campaign to educate Angelenos about how to report hate crimes," said Bass.
"If I told each and every one of you that I loved you and I want to work with you, would that make headlines," asked LA County Sheriff, to laughter from the audience. "But if I said something up here filled with hate, would it immediately go all over this country? There’s a lesson to be learned there — do not give people who are promoting hate those headlines. We’ve got to figure out a way, because until we do that, nothing is going to change," he said as the crowd applauded.
