...which was created after the LA riots, and then secretly sold to a developer who wants to build warehouses there:

1. Awesome!

Well, maybe not awesome that it was taken away but it's awesome to see more people trying to live more sustainably! I've just been watching some other videos having to do with sustainable urban homesteads, one of which is near Pasadena, I believe. Another in Arizona. I'll give you the links here:

2. We had this discussion months ago

The land was taken away from its owner under eminent domain. Was never built up, so they let
farmers squat on the land. Eventually, they sold it back to the ORIGINAL owner.

And, the owner was willing to sell it to the farmers, until some of them (who thought they
should just get it for free), started making anti-Semitic remarks, so he withdrew the offer.

3. It's OK to for the city to secretly sell land hundreds of people...

...are using to farm, as long as it's to someone who used to own the land?

4. That of course is a lie about any anti-Semitic remarks.

That has nothing to do with this man's totally amoral response in selling the property.

Why does it happen that whenever someone happens to be Jewish and is held accountable for their actions, anyone holding them accountable is then immediately labeled "anti-semitic"?

It is an all too convenient excuse for this carpet bagger who happens to be Jewish who stole the property back from these individuals who had nothing but that land, and he sold it after they had met his asking price.
