Opposing Demonstrations : Palestinian Murders of Jews
"We were not pre-committed to any specific outcome or even criminal culpability, and we never treated the fact that criminal charges would be a forgone conclusion.""[Investigators are working to determine whether the altercation was] accompanied by specific statements or words that demonstrate an antipathy, a hatred, toward a specific group. We don't have that at this point.""In filing these charges we relied on new physical and forensic evidence as well as findings regarding the injuries to the left side of Paul Kessler's face.""We were able to take video as well as digital footage, put it together and establish a clear sequence of events leading up to the confrontation.""These new pieces of evidence, as well as the technology that we utilized, has permitted our office to file these criminal charges."Ventura county District Attorney Erik Nasarenko

Abdelfattah Alnaji, 50, has now been charged with two offences in the
death of 69-year-old Paul Kessler after a review of over 600 pieces of
evidence and the interview of over 60 witnesses to an event that
horrified onlookers. The charges are those of involuntary manslaughter
and battery, although California authorities have not ruled out the
commission of a hate crime in the untimely death of a pro-Israel
demonstrator that followed a confrontation with Alnaji, a college
professor.
The
two, on clearly opposite sides of a now very familiar and extremely
heated public perception of a hugely incendiary Hamas surprise invasion
of southern Israel where terrorists targeted several towns and villages
in a terrifying assault with weaponry whose impact was designed to kill
as many people within a short period of time as possible. Throughout the
course of a black day of human depravity, an estimated 1,200 people --
children, teens, the elderly and infirm, men and women were slaughtered.
Countless
girls and women were gang-raped, people waiting at bus stops were
mowed down, cars driving into kibbutzim saw their drivers and passengers
summarily executed. A music festival where four thousand young men and
women had gathered for a weekend of partying was invaded by a terrorist
horde that shot at will and chased down festival goers trying to flee
the deadly chaos. Hundreds of people from the music festival were
killed; 360 in total.
Before
the day was over, some 240 Israelis and foreign agricultural workers,
along with Israeli soldiers were forcibly taken to Gaza as hostages, to
the delight of cheering Palestinian civilians as the infants, women and
men and the elderly were paraded triumphantly through the streets.
Before the international news even caught up with the events as they
unfolded, leading the government of Israel to decide to deploy the IDF
to Gaza after a prolonged rescue of people who survived the deadly
assault, protest marches organized by a group calling themselves
Students for Justice in Palestine were taking place.
The
marches initially praised the 'uprising' of Palestinians against the
'occupying' Israelis, although Gaza has been occupied by Hamas, not
Israel. Israel has been defending its population against violent attacks
by the real 'occupiers' of Gaza for years on end. Banners reading 'from
the river to the sea' and the handing out of sweets gradually turned to
loud protests against Israel's 'disproportionate' response to the
carnage imposed on southern Israel in later protests.
Teeming
thousands denied, even when evidence was presented, that Hamas was a
terrorist group, that it had raped, tortured, mutilated and murdered
anyone. And with the evidence that could not be denied, those same
committed Jew-haters blamed Israel for any atrocities that occurred, not
the perpetrators. Jewish groups in the United States, Canada and
elsewhere raised counter-demonstrations. And the death of this man
occurred at one of those intersections between Hamas support and
Israel's right to seek justice.
New details have been released in the death of a Jewish man who authorities said died after a confrontation with pro-Palestinian demonstrators at a rally in Thousand Oaks. |
A
physical altercation took place between these two men -- an Israel
defender and a 'pro-Palestinian' -- on November 5. Early reports were
that the older Jewish man had been bludgeoned with a bullhorn, which was
what had caused him to fall to the ground and ultimately perish. The
69-year-old Paul Kessler was among pro-Israel demonstrators confronting a
pro-Palestinian demonstration at a suburb of Los Angeles, Thousand
Oaks.
According
to investigations, authorities confirmed Mr. Kessler sustained
non-fatal injuries to the left side of his face, although nothing was
said about what had caused the injuries or the subsequent fall. Alnaji
informed deputies on their arrival on scene that he had called 911; he
was there when they arrived. A professor of computer science at Moorpark
College, Alnaji espoused pro-Palestinian views on Facebook and other
social media accounts, most of which are no longer to be seen.
As
for Mr. Kessler, he had worked in medical sales for decades; he taught
sales and marketing at colleges. He was also a pilot. And he is now
dead, a result of high emotions, one group passionately defending
themselves as a human right to security and a peaceful existence. The
other defaulting to
Medieval brutality and sadistic savagery in an expression of their hatred, as self-imposed victims.

"[A demonstrator from the Free Palestine group came behind me with a megaphone and screamed close to my ear.] I turned around, and I said, ‘Get that f— thing out of my ear. Back up’.""We endured hate rhetoric [one pro-Palestinian supporter rubbed Kessler’s blood into a sign of hate against Israel.] If this isn’t the definition of a hate crime, I don’t know what is."Jonathan Oswaks, 69, protesting alongside Kessler
