Subject to the investigation but we Demand that Justice and we're pretty Confident Justice will be had how is the Southern California Jewish Community Dealing with the loss of Mr kler because I have to imagine it's h pretty Hard it it is absolutely hitting us Pretty hard the the the Kesslers are a Wonderful family they do want their Privacy during the time I think we Should respect that but the Jewish Community r large they were sad were Angry we're we kind of fed up you got to Remember this is the fourth incident This year alone of violent uh attacks Against Jews since the beginning of this Year uh there were two shootings in the Pico Robertson area there was a home Evasion just a few weeks ago and now This and so uh we know that anti-hate a Hate against Jews is up almost 4 100% Here in Los Angeles and uh the the Community is terrified there are people Who don't want to wear their uh Religious paraphernalia there are people Who don't want to go out to eat they Don't want to go out to school and so This entire incident is just hitting the Community very very hard does that fear Extend to rallies especially in light of What we've seen Nationwide as well is There a fear that hey if I go to a rally And support Israel that I could suffer The same fate as Mr

Victim centered approach Paul Kesler was A a 69-year-old man who is Jewish and And pro-israel and that should be Explicit in the headline and I'm not Here to play Politics on left and right I just want to do what's right and What's right for the American people and What's right for the Jewish Community Specifically and so any headline needs To reflect reality on the ground Rabbi Noah farcus thank you so much for coming On the program this morning we Appreciate it And
