A 69-year-old Jewish man died Monday after falling and striking his head following a confrontation the previous day during competing pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian demonstrations in suburban Los Angeles, authorities said.

Paul Kessler’s death was being investigated as a homicide and authorities haven’t ruled out the possibility a hate crime occurred, said a statement from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department. No arrests had been made.

Kessler was injured shortly before 3:30 p.m. Sunday during competing demonstrations in Thousand Oaks, a city of about 125,000 northwest of Los Angeles. Police received reports that a battery had occurred and deputies sent to the scene found Kessler suffering from a head wound, the department said.

“Witness accounts indicated that Kessler was involved in a physical altercation with counter-protestor(s). During the altercation, Kessler fell backwards and struck his head on the ground,” the department said.

An autopsy conducted Monday determined Kessler died from a blunt force head injury and it was homicide, the department said.

The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles said Kessler was Jewish and that he was struck in the head by a megaphone held by a pro-Palestinian demonstrator. The sheriff’s department didn’t immediately confirm those details but planned a news conference Tuesday morning.

Rabbi Michael Barclay of Temple Ner Simcha in Westlake Village, near Thousand Oaks, urged people to avoid jumping to conclusions about what happened.

“I just got off the phone with the Chief of Police,” he posted on X, formerly Twitter. “They have conflicting reports of what happened, and they did interview the suspect that is identified in social media at the event. They have no video.”

He said police are being cautious before making accusations. “We need to do the same; and not let this become a spark that starts an inferno,” he wrote.

Since the war between Israel and Hamas broke out last month protests have been held around the world. Hamas militants have been condemned for invading Israel and killing and kidnaping civilians while Israel has been accused of indiscriminate bombing that has killed many civilians in Gaza.

This happened in the US.
Pro Hamas terror have now invaded the US, doing all sorts of Crime, some hour ago this was how a Muslim lady drove into a building she thought was Jewish school, underreported. Now this bloke was attacked by the people who say they are "peaceful" .

We are not sorting out this problem of anti semitism. This is US not Afghanistan where Muzzies can just kill or murder anyone. Give them the Israel treatment, most are terror, I tell you. Kick them out or lock them up. The US government are being soft here, the other day these same terror protesters tried to break into white house. Sort these guys out before they turn the country into the dump they legged it FROM!

America will suffer the consequences of their soft policies for Muslims in less than no time.

They allowed them in but watch how they will turn the U.S into a waste land.

Ok

Try it and become a warring country.


Terrorism and Islam is something you can't separate.

Gaza bite more than they could eat and now it's taking toll on them

Hm

Far from the battle field

H

Trouble o!
Muslims, shey untill all of you are declared as endangered species?
Caution una terrorist brothers to accept circumstances as world change. Power afterall is transient. Once upon a time there was Muhammad's reign in Mecca, Ottoman Empire etc. There was Roman empire, Egyptian dominance, Assyrian kingdoms etc. Even Israel sef trended in the past during kingdoms of Israel and Judah. So make Hamas grow sense and call for a truce. Be obedient, respect other religions, respect humanity and shun terrorism.

You can't declare munafiq (a declaration to crush Israel to dust) and you think they won't fight to death. Laye,laye.

It's getting red small small
They will start killing all Jews small small all over the world even the fake African Jews will not be left out

Down to the Jews

Death to the scourge of Jews

Okay

Ok

Attack on Jews in France loading......

A country that works. Yet Mobahd was clearly murdered all the stupid justice system can come up with after how many months is to arrest everyone related and charge millions on bail. No cause of death known but ur billing robbing those who are innocent just because they had some form of differences before the singer's demise. Nigeria has the worst justice system on earth

Some bag eggs in religion......cos I have some liberal Muslims who understands life and are not fanatically lunatics
