In May 2021, a wide range of attacks on Jews by “pro-Palestinian” street thugs swept heavily Jewish areas of New York City, Los Angeles, and other cities.
We covered many of those attacks, including:

One of the attacks that received the most media attention was an attack at a restaurant in Los Angeles, VIDEO: “Pro-Palestinian” Gang Seeks Out And Attacks Jews In Los Angeles:
As the sacred Jewish holiday of Shavuot came to a close early this week, shocking footage surfaced on social media of what appears to be an anti-Israel gang’s vicious attack on Jews having dinner outdoors in Los Angeles….The Jewish victims of the attack are reportedly members of the robust Persian-Jewish community that calls Los Angeles home; witnesses say the attackers targeted them as they paraded through the heavily Jewish area (on foot and in cars), moving from group to group asking who was Jewish. Some clips show the caravan of anti-Israel protesters driving through the neighborhood screaming into megaphones at Jewish passersby.
Xavier Pabon was quickly arrested, as the Los Angeles Times reported at the time:
Xavier Pabon, 30, of Banning was taken into custody Friday night and booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a news release. Detectives will also recommend additional hate-crime charges, they said.Pabon was released Sunday after posting $275,000 bond and was next due in court Sept. 23, jail records state.
As was Samer Jayylusi:
A second man was arrested in connection with an attack on diners outside a Beverly Grove sushi restaurant last week that is being investigated as an antisemitic hate crime.Whittier resident Samer Jayylusi, 35, was taken into custody around 1 a.m. Tuesday in Anaheim, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement.
Now there have been hate crime charges added:
Two men were charged in an assault on Jewish diners earlier this year outside a Beverly Grove restaurant, the Los Angeles County District Attorney said Tuesday.Xavier Pabon, 30, and Samer Jayylusi, 36, were each charged with two felony counts of assault by means of force likely to cause great bodily injury.The criminal complaint also includes a hate crime allegation.Jayylusi is expected to be arraigned Tuesday at the Foltz Criminal Justice Center. Pabon’s arraignment is scheduled for Thursday in the same courtroom. It was not immediately clear whether they have attorneys….LAPD Chief Michel Moore said the attack at the restaurant “appeared to spring from a roving band of vehicles that were seen flying flags within the Jewish-populated areas of Hollywood, West L.A., Mid-Wilshire, West Hollywood and Beverly Hills.”Moore said police are searching for two more people believed to have taken part in the restaurant attack.
Don’t expect any of them to show contrition. They likely will be greeted as a hero in their communities, like one of their fellow thugs in NYC, Waseem Awawdeh Charged In Antisemitic Assault, Vows He’d Do It Again, Gets Hero’s Welcome:
