After Saturday's attack by Hamas militants in southern Israel, unofficial security forces are on high alert protecting synagogues, schools and Jewish communities in L.A.
It was just after dark and David Bacall of Los Angeles Shmira was pacing Olympic Boulevard, his thick glasses aglow in the amber strobe atop his SUV as he scanned the crowd outside the synagogue for threats. Most days, his job is boring, more Walmart greeter than Mossad. But in the wake of the deadliest attack on Jews in generations — Saturday's offensive against thousands of civilians in southern Israel — L.A.'s newest security outfit wasn't about to let its guard down.
'We’re seeing an uptick online with rhetoric' against both Jews and Muslims, said Haroon Azar, a senior fellow at the UCLA Burkle Center for International Relations and a former regional director for the Department of Homeland Security. 'It makes everybody antsy across the board.' Most never manifest in real life.
