Nazis start #GastheSynagogue in reaction to St. Louis Jews Shielding Protestors from Police
"When protesters were caged in by an abusive police force, the Central Reform Congregation of St. Louis served as a model to all congregations and opened their doors to protect them.
The people of St. Louis took to the streets in response to the acquittal of ex-cop Jason Stockley for the murder of Anthony Lamar Smith. Stockley, when engaged on a police chase of Smith was recorded premeditating his killing of Smith.
Police responded to protests with unhinged violence. Here is a video of at least 40 militarized forces attacking an elderly woman with a shield, then overrunning her and others under them. Rather than administering first aid, they continue to overrun her and eventually force her up for detainment.
The synagogue itself made sure we knew this was no fluke. Theyre here for radical hospitality. The Synagogue is also known for protecting protesters after the Ferguson verdict for the killing of Michael Brown.

And as if we needed to be reminded that our liberation as Jews is tied to the liberation of all Black and brown people on the front lines of white supremacism, the Nazis weighed in too.
This time with a #GastheSynagogue campaign invoking gas chambers in Nazi concentration camps:
