LA City Councilman: LA Antifa and Fellow Left-Wing Activists are the Real Insurrectionists

LA City Councilman Paul Koretz

I never cease to be amazed at how things are turning for the better for us, even here in deep blue, deeply depressing Los Angeles County.

The city of Los Angeles has passed more ordinances to push away the homeless from endangering children and parents near schools.

Rick Caruso is building momentum to be a real, law-and-order, pro-citizen mayor.

And now, one of the city councilmembers who voted for the expanded ban on homeless encampments had the courage to call out Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and other left-wing agitator hate groups in the city.

Check out what retiring City Councilman Paul Koretz wrote about the hostile, violent, disruptive militants who shut down the LA City Council meeting earlier this week:

On the contrary, Koretz should lauded and applauded for calling out the real insurrectionists in our midst! Not the freedom-loving patriots in Washington DC, who were lured into the US Capitol, only to be vilified, arrested, and deprived of life, liberty, and dignity.

The real insurrection has been gobbling up the peaceful public square from frustrated and outraged Angelenos who want clean streets, safe neighborhoods, and good opportunities for themselves and their families. 

Here are the key portions from Koretz' latest fundraising email:

Jane Nguyen, campaign manager for Kenneth Mejia for City Controller, urges people to show up at City Hall and reposts video of insurrection in celebration.

Yes, that is exactly what Antifa and other left-wing activists have been doing all over Los Angeles. They are the true insurrectionists, looking to overthrow good government in LA.

Koretz' team repeats that the school district superintendent and parents throughout the city urged the city council to take swift action against the homeless encampments that were taking up space, building up around the schools:

Parents and school staff have also spoken out in favor of the changes, saying they have observed erratic and even violent behavior on our near school campuses.

This issue bears repeating: Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and other cultural Marxist hate groups in the greater Los Angeles area care about virtue-signaling for the "unhoused" rather than caring for parents and children. Sickening! TRUE INSURRECTION!

Koretz' email continues:

His [Kenneth Mejia's] campaign staff are the same folks that disrupted a Mayoral debate at a synagogue in the Valley, shouting obscenities at Karen Bass, Kevin de Leon and others.

Sounds like insurrection to me.

Mejia is commited to an agenda of shouting down opponents and using divisiveness and bullying to circumvent the normal legislative process.

Kenneth Mejia for Controller? Really? Is this the person we want having the keys to the City Hall?

I really have to hand it to Councilman Paul Koretz. Normally, I would have no interest either way in whoever wins the City Controller spot in LA City Council politics. Not much good comes from the political class of Democrat bureaucrats, career politicians, and activists. However, if Koretz and company are not afraid to call out the Antifa-BLM-Berniecrat-Marxist hordes in the city hellbent on shutting down public comment and civil discourse in the city, i.e. non-stop insurrection, then I say good for him!

Anti-Semitism on YouTube: My Video and The Comments Which Followed



After the stellar victory  at the Orange County Board of Supervisors meeting, in which they rescinded their misguided homeless movement proposal, I walked outside and met with one of the "Homelessness is a Human Right" activists.

He started going off on his hatred of Jews.

He then equated Jewish people with the illegal aliens coming from Mexico. That in itself is deeply offensive, because Jews slaughtered in the Holocaust were not illegal aliens of any kind. They were citizens of their country, only to endure the shameful injustice of having their citizenship reduced, diminished, stripped away from them, and then their lives taken away.

So, I posted this video in part to shame this creep for playing the race card against citizens who simply want our nation's immigration laws and borders enforced.

Here are the comments I left in the description section:

But the comments which follow underneath the video are breathlessly hateful.

The second reason I am posting this video is to show people who pervasive the anti-Semitic hatred has perpetuated on YouTube in the comment section:

Davina Right
Where’s the lie? He’s CORRECT.

No he is not. Period.

Jews ARE the problem. How can you not know that?

Such astounding hatred. Notice also that 8 viewers liked this comment!

Sickening.

Here's another reader who 

He is right!!! I have dealt with a lot of jews in my lifetime and all the stereotypes are 100% TRUE!!! Youre wrong Arthur!!!

Nope. This guy is wrong. I wish that people would think through this hatred.

Although I am starting to wonder if there is any capacity to think for those with such blinding Jew-hatred.

Check out the level of race-baiting ignorance below:

The act of being a Jew is a religion, not a race. therefore, there is no racism here.

Being Jewish is an ethnic status, or race if you will, as well as a religion. The stifling amount of ignorance explains this unfounded hatred.

Final Reflection

We need to combat this hatred. Anti-Semitism is a virulent form of hate, oftentimes based on an exchange of false, immoral ideas rather than any bad experiences with individual Jews.

YouTube claims to oppose "hate speech", yet the above comments are clear examples of hate speech which YouTube has done nothing to combat. Of course, I do not want speech silenced. There is no such thing as "hate speech" in my view. What does matter, however, is that we need to spend more time confronting these lies with the truth!
