Synagogue Shooting Tied to Israeli Mafia

POLITICS. .

At 6:19am on October 19, 2009, two Jewish-American men were shot in the underground parking lot of the Los Angeles-based Adat Yeshurun Valley Sephardic Synagogue. They were there for Saturday service at the congregation when a "young gunman, dark-skinned and wearing a dark hooded sweat shirt" approached them and attempted to shot. His gun initially jammed, but then he wasable to shot both men in the legs.

The initial reaction to the crime was that it has an anti-Semitic act. Only months prior, a guard at the National Holocaust Museum was shot dead by a White Supremacist.

But the LAPD has since stated that the very nature of the crime - a kneecapping - and detective work since then shows that it was not a hate crime, but, rather, the work of the Israeli Mafia.

LAPD believes that the act was the work of Israeli organized crime.

Deputy Chief Michael Downing, head of the LAPD's Counter Terrorism and Criminal Intelligence Bureau at the LAPD, told the Jerusalem Post: "The two victims had been kneecapped. That's not indicative of terrorism. It resembled a targeted, surgical strike. They were targeted as part of a stern warning linked to a criminal organization."

The LAPD believes that this is typical Mafia violence designed to send a lesson to someone to keep them quite about something. The man first shot was not to be killed because he was shot in the leg, it was a warning shot or else... And the other guy was actually an innocent victim at the wrong time and the wrong place.

Because the Mob is involved, many people at the Synagogue are too afraid to talk for fear if they are seen as cooperating they will be targeted next.

The U.S. media refers to Major Hasan as "Islamic terrorism". Will they refer to this at "Israeli terrorism" or "Jewish terrorism"?
