Funny how all the US media sources are either downplaying or not even mentioning the reason why the pro-Palestinian protesters showed up. According to Haaretz

The clashes occurred after Palestine supporters arrived in front of the Abas Torah Synagogue to protest a real estate event promoting the sale of land plots in Jewish settlements in the West Bank taking place inside.

Here is a poster for the event:

And here is some of the property being sold to Westerners.

This wasn't a demonstration against Jewish people innocently attending a synagogue, this was a protest against profiting off the illegal seizure of land from a people currently undergoing a genocide.
