Both supporters and critics of Israel commemorated the year that has passed since the Oct. 7 attack, staging ceremonies in Echo Park, Encino and West Los Angeles on Sunday.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass marked the one-year anniversary of the attack on Israel on Sunday, telling an audience on the Westside that city leaders are 'committed to ensuring that the Jewish community always feels safe.' Bass, speaking at a candle-lighting ceremony at the Museum of Tolerance, said L.A. had been profoundly affected by the 'devastating terrorist attack' that occurred Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas militants stormed into Israel, killing 1,200 people and kidnapping 250.
On Sunday afternoon, more than 100 demonstrators opposed to Israel’s attacks in Gaza gathered at Echo Park Lake to demand that the U.S. stop shipping weapons to Israel. The crowd, many clad in white, began the event by singing the words, 'We will not avert our eyes' and 'Palestine will be free.' Benjamin Vizcarra-Barton, an organizer with Jewish Voice for Peace-Los Angeles, said he grieved for the people who died or were kidnapped on Oct.
