CNN commentator Van Jones has strongly condemned a violent protest outside a synagogue in Los Angeles on June 24, labeling it a 'pogrom.' Jones emphasized that while protesting policies is acceptable, targeting a specific community is not. He stated, 'I haven’t seen any Jewish people in America running up on mosques with Israeli flags. Protest a policy, not a people.' Jones reiterated that protests targeting Jewish community centers or restaurants are anti-Jewish acts and must be stopped.
