A group of Jewish anti incursion activists chained themselves together in front of the Los Angeles Israeli Consulate early Tuesday morning.
They were trying to bring attention to the percentage of jews and Israelis who disapprove of the present Israeli military operations in the Gaza strip.

The police presence was moderate while the area was blocked off from traffic. LAPD chief William Bratton visited the scene.

There were some minor rhetorical skirmishes.

The protest broke up and dissipated after statements were made to the media.
