NY antisemitic attacker sentenced to 17 months, with hundreds on hand to support him

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP)

A federal court in New York City on Tuesday sentenced an anti-Israel activist, Tarek Bazrouk, to 17 months in prison for attacking Jews, in a case that galvanized the pro-Palestinian activist movement in the US.

Bazrouk, 20, attacked Jews at anti-Israel protests in three incidents and pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit hate crimes in June.

The victims of the attacks, which took place surrounding anti-Israel protests in 2024 and early 2025, were all wearing Jewish or Israeli symbols or were otherwise identifiable as such.

The judge in the case, Richard Berman, cited aggravating circumstances at the hearing, including text messages from Bazrouk uncovered by investigators that exposed his animosity toward Jews, his extensive criminal history, his support for terrorist groups, and an “arsenal” of weapons and more than $750,000 in cash found at his apartment.

A 20 yo working in smoke shops amassed $750,000? He is clearly part of some organization.

So I agree with a comment from one of the victims...

“My experience as a Jew in America has been altered forever,” he said, adding that Bazrouk had bragged about the attacks to friends in text messages, indicating that he was not contrite.


THAT is what WE are NOW! We are NOT "Americans"! We are NOT "Jewish Americans"! We are NOT "American Jews"! We are now nothing more than "JEWS IN AMERICA"!
