L.A. synagogue attack may be Israeli organized crime, police say

An article at:

http://jta.org/news/article/2009/12/03/1009510/la-synagogue-attack-may-be-organized-crime-police-say

says that "the Los Angeles Police Department is investigating whether Israeli organized crime is connected to an attack at a local synagogue."

The closing sentence reads:

"Israeli organized crime has been operating in Los Angeles since the mid-1990s, according to the newspaper."

I noticed a Google ad that reads:

"Escape to Israel Free

"Free 5-month trips to Israel! Intern or volunteer. Must be Jewish"

(In some countries anti-discrimination laws prohibit ads specifying race, colour or faith of applicants.
