Overview

• Ariel Yaakov Marciano, 24, says about 20 demonstrators at the Santa Monica Pier hit him, left him bleeding, and tore off his Star of David necklace.
• Video he posted to Instagram shows blood on his face as he calls for Israelis in Los Angeles to come to the pier.
• He reports that officers did not intervene, that a protester pepper-sprayed him while he headed to a station, and that no official response or arrests were noted in the articles.
• Marciano says a stranger returned the necklace to him hours later at a nearby restaurant.
• A previous Los Angeles incident was described by Eyal Dahan, who says he recognized a suspect from Marciano’s video and alleges some protesters are paid, a claim not independently verified.
