00:00I am walking right by the Wilshire Boulevard Temple in Koreatown.
00:05I'm here to say open systems out of K-Town.
00:08I'm sorry, why are you protesting in front of a synagogue out of all places?
00:12We're protesting in front of a site that's holding genocide supporters.
00:17Can you look?
00:18And trying to bring that to K-Town.
00:21We're protesting in forever!
00:25One, two, three, four.
00:30Israel wouldn't have left a day without...
00:32Baby killers.
00:33Baby killer.
00:35Zionist pigs.
00:37You will make it, you will run.
00:39Still there at the entrance of a historical synagogue and synagogue's nursery, chanting Zionist pigs, baby killers.
00:50So a bunch of anti-Israel protesters somehow got into the synagogue and were surrounding the room and one knocked over a glass vase. The glass was shattered everywhere. There was about five of them screaming at us and it was very unpleasant.
01:11He brought his babies.
01:34Get out of our synagogue!
01:36This is a synagogue and a school. There's a nursery downstairs. This is a synagogue and a school with children. This is a synagogue and a place of work.
01:48Can I ask a question, just human to human? Are you recording right now? I am, for my safety. Go ahead. For your safety, yes, because we're a threat to you. Is that what you're saying?
01:57Well, someone just knocked over a glass vase in there. Glass was shattered everywhere.
02:01Can we be outside here? We're sitting here and we're a threat to you?
02:04We are protesting genocide and that is threatening to you.
02:07Can I just ask a question?
02:09Go ahead.
02:11Not aggressively. Not aggressively. Human to human. So what do you think you will achieve by protesting here?
02:18It's not worth answering, I guess.
02:20No, I'm just wondering. Do you think you'll change anything in the war? Do you think anything in Gaza, any child will be saved by you yelling here?
02:30Yes! Yes!
02:31How? You think so?
02:32No, she's not wearing babies anymore.
02:33The only-
02:35That's it, you don't have morals as me either. Six, seven, like-
02:38No, I-
02:40Six, seven.
02:41Six, seven.
02:42I care about scars and babies. I don't see how yelling in front of a synagogue will change anything.
02:47They've defiled whatever holiness was here. They've defiled it by filling it with business people who traffic in blood and death and surveillance and suffering.
02:57Okay.
02:58Whatever it was that was holding here, the Jewish people is gone and they have no one to blame but themselves.
03:03Okay.
03:04That's all I can say. That's all I can say.
03:06Okay, but what do you think this will achieve?
03:08Instead of yelling Zionist pigs, I just wanted to ask questions.
03:11Okay, I actually already gave you a flyer very kindly earlier and you didn't seem to care.
03:15I actually would rather have a conversation than read a little piece of paper.
03:18I mean, I tried to have a conversation with you. You walked by me and you said that I was protesting outside of a synagogue and why would I do that?
03:25Yeah, that was, I was, I didn't ignore you. I asked that question.
03:29It's not Shabbat. It's not a holy day or anything. All right?
03:32It's a holy place. There's babies and there's a nursery.
03:34It's not a holy day.
03:36Show your, show your face. Show your faces.
03:39Babies in Palestine too.
03:40We weren't here last Shabbat.
03:41Okay, and I care about them. I don't want them to die.
