A 69-year-old Jewish man was killed in Southern California after he was struck in the head by a pro-Hamas goon. He was reportedly attacked because he was waving an Israeli flag.
The victim, who was identified as Paul Kessler, was hit in the head with a megaphone and fell to the ground in the Westlake Village area.
Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer was appalled by the brutality.
“This man, Paul Kessler, was killed because he waived this flag. In the United States of America. May his memory be a blessing. May the person who did it go to prison for the rest of his life,” he wrote on Twitter.
The Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office said an autopsy determined Paul Kessler died as a result of a blunt force head injury. The Sheriff’s Dept. says they are treating the death as a homicide.
“Our hearts are with the family of the victim,” the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles said. “While we wait for more information from our law enforcement partners, we remind you that this is the fourth major antisemitic crime committed in Los Angeles this year alone.”

“Violence against our people has no place in civilized society,” the Federation added. “We demand safety. We will not tolerate violence against our community. We will do everything in our power to prevent it.”
Photos and videos, which you can see below, showed the man bleeding from his head lying on the ground.
Israeli media referred to the victim as “an older Jewish man” and the alleged attacker as a “young pro-Palestinian protester.”
“The injured man fell to the ground bleeding and was rushed to the hospital. His death was confirmed to have been caused due to a brain hemorrhage,” the Jewish News reports. “Israelis who were present at the scene described it as ‘a terrifying sight’ and expressed shock that such an incident took place in their neighborhood.”
So far no one has been arrested or charged in the attack.
