Gavin Newsom Condemns Antisemitic Attack on Jewish Diners in L.A. On 5/21/21 at 12:31 PM EDT California's Governor Gavin Newsom said there is "no place" for antisemitism in the state as Los Angeles police investigate a violent fight outside a sushi restaurant as an antisemitic hate crime. "CA is the most diverse state in the world's most diverse democracy," Newsom tweeted on Thursday. "This kind of hatred and anti-semitism has no place here." Witnesses to the altercation said apparent pro-Palestinian protesters made antisemitic remarks outside a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles' Beverly Grove neighborhood and attacked diners. Heightened tensions between Israel and the Palestinians—which The Associated Press reported left at least 230 Palestinians and 12 people in Israel dead—spilled over to the rest of the world this month, from widespread demonstrations to social media campaigns.
