“They were chanting, ‘Death to Jews’ and ‘Free Palestine,’” the witness said. “They had malice.”
In one video, about eight people, most dressed in black, began brawling with the diners, The Times reported. One of the victims, who wanted to be identified only as “M,” told KTLA that he was eating dinner with four of his Jewish friends when the men stopped their car and started punching and kicking them.
Police said five victims were punched or hurt by broken glass, but nobody was seriously injured. A GoFundMe page for at least one of the victims reached nearly $30,000 as of Thursday morning.

An attack on diners outside a sushi restaurant by people shouting slogans against Israel is being investigated by Los Angeles police as an antisemitic hate crime.
The attack came as a deadly battle continued in the Gaza Strip, escalating tensions in the U.S. among supporters of Israel and those who back the Palestinians.
A video capturing part of the Tuesday night attack shows people in a caravan of cars flying Palestinian flags yelling, “F you” and “You guys should be ashamed of yourselves” as they drive by the restaurant.
At one point before the attack, which later escalated to kicking and punching, a person can be heard yelling, “Israel kills children!”

In a Cape Town courtroom in January 2018, claims emerged that the head of detectives in the Western Cape, Major-General Jeremy Vearey, was a member of the 27s gang and worked with the gang’s leader to have an attorney murdered.
Fast-forward nearly three years and claims of a similar nature have been made in another Cape Town courtroom. This time the claims focus on the head of the Anti-Gang Unit (AGU), Major-General Andre Lincoln, and are along the lines that he wanted a criminal suspect and the suspect’s partner to help him carry out a hit on someone who had been threatening him and his colleague, AGU member Lieutenant-Colonel Charl Kinnear.
