LA Police claim: Killing of Paul Kessler doesn't appear to be a hate crime

Ventura County DA says killing of elderly Jewish man by anti-Israel protestor does not 'meet the elements of a hate crime.'

https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/380559

Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko said Friday that the killing of Paul Kessler, a 69-year-old Jewish man who was killed when he was struck in the head with a megaphone by an anti-Israel protestor in Los Angeles on November 6, does not appear to be a hate crime, but his office has not "ruled out" the possibility that it was a hate crime.

“Simply put, looking at the statements as well as the words that accompany this act, we cannot at this time meet the elements of a hate crime,” Nasarenko said. “But nevertheless, we will continue to explore and investigate that offense as well as that special allegation.”

Last week, Loay Abdelfattah Alnaji, 50, was arrested on charges of involuntary manslaughter for striking Kessler, resulting in his death. Jewish organizations have maintained that the deadly act of violence was motivated by antisemitism.

After being struck in the head, Kessler fell to the ground, bleeding, and was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead due to blunt force trauma. The Ventura County Medical Examiner's Office said that Kessler suffered from skull fractures and swelling and bruising of the brain and determined his death to be a homicide.

Jonathan Oswaks, a friend of Kessler and a witness to the incident, said that the two Jews were "stalked" by the man who would go on to assault Kessler.

It took more than a week for Nasarenko to be arrested, despite his identity as the one who struck and killed Kessler being known to police the entire time.

The case has attracted national attention as the first case in which a Jewish person has been killed in the US in the wake of the Hamas massacre of over 1,200 people in Israel on October 7. The Hamas massacre has inspired a wave of antisemitism, with antisemitic incidents rising as much as 400% following October 7, according to the Anti-Defamation League. Anti-Israel protests held following the massacre have included antisemitic and even genocidal rhetoric and chants and have devolved into violence multiple times.

Reports Say Israeli Ship "Galaxy Leader" Hijacked By Houthi Terrorists

https://www.zerohedge.com/geop...ed-houthi-terrorists

Reports from Arab media indicate that the "Galaxy Leader," a vehicle carrier vessel, was hijacked in the Red Sea on Monday by the Houthi group, which is supported by Iran, as reported by The Jerusalem Post.

https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-774045


Saudi Media: Houthi rebels hijacked an 'Israeli' cargo ship in the Red Sea

The IDF has clarified that the ship was not Israeli, and was manned by an international crew.

https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/380574

The Saudi news station al-Hadath reported on Sunday that Houthi rebels in Yemen had hijacked the "Israeli cargo ship" Galaxy Leader, which was sailing in the Arabian Gulf.

It was later clarified that the ship is under British ownership, is managed by a Japanese company, and had no Israeli citizens on board. According to the website marinetraffic.com, the ship flys under the flag of the Bahamas, and its home port is Nassau.

The Houthi military spokesman is promising an "important statement" in the coming hours.The Israeli Foreign Ministry stated that it is aware of the matter.

The IDF has responded to the reports: "The hijacking of a cargo ship by the Houthis near Yemen in the southern Red Sea is a very grave incident of global consequence. The ship departed Turkey on its way to India, staffed by civilians of various nationalities, not including Israelis. It is not an Israeli ship." the military stated.

The Prime Minister's office responded: "We vehemently condemn the Iranian attack against international ships. The ship, which is under British ownership and is managed by a Japanese company, was hijacked under Iranian direction by a Houthi militia in Yemen. On board the ship there were 25 crew members of various nationalities, including Ukrainians, Bulgarians, Filipinos, and Mexicans. There were no Israelis on board. This is an additional Iranian act of terror that represents a leap forward in Iranian aggression against the citizens of the free world and creates international implications regarding international shipping routes."

Earlier on Sunday, the Houthis threatened that they would attack Israeli ships that fly Israeli flags and warned foreign countries "to remove their citizens who work on these ships, to refrain from sending packages or working on these ships, and to tell the ships to distance themselves from them."

It's far past time to start arming cargo vessels with offensive weapons.

Someone needs to develop a chain link fence drape that goes clear to the waterline filled with grenades to repel boarders.

Biden orders top aides to prepare reprimands for violent Israeli settlers in West Bank

The directive seeks “options for expeditious action against those responsible” for violence, according to a memo read to POLITICO.

https://www.politico.com/news/...n-west-bank-00127940

President Joe Biden directed top officials to prepare visa bans and sanctions for extremist Israeli settlers attacking and displacing Palestinians in the West Bank, according to an internal document read to POLITICO.

The Cabinet memo, sent to senior aides like Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Friday, orders their agencies “to develop policy options for expeditious action against those responsible for the conduct of violence in the West Bank.”

A senior U.S. official read sections of the memo to POLITICO on Saturday evening shortly after Biden published an op-ed in The Washington Post revealing his intentions for such a move. “The United States is prepared to take our own steps, including issuing visa bans against extremists attacking civilians in the West Bank,” he wrote in the op-ed.

The directive comes as the Biden administration aims to show that it’s supporting Palestinian civilians in need, even as it staunchly defends Israel’s retaliation against Hamas, and while members of the president’s party seek conditions on military aid to Washington’s ally.

The targets for reprimands are broadly defined in the memo. They include people or entities that “have directly or indirectly engaged in actions or policies that threaten the security or stability of the West Bank,” take “actions that intimidate civilians in the West Bank with the purpose or effect of forcing displacement actions in the West Bank,” or make moves “that constitute human rights abuses or violations and actions that significantly obstruct, disrupt or prevent efforts to achieve a two-state solution.”

The memo notes that Biden sees the settler-violence issue as a “serious threat” to peace among Israelis and Palestinians and destabilizing throughout the Middle East.

The decision to issue the directive came after intense debate on the topic, with national security adviser Jake Sullivan and deputy Jon Finer offering their direct input during a dedicated internal process, the official said.

POLITICO has not seen the memo, and the official was granted anonymity to read from a sensitive internal document. The White House declined to comment.

Israeli settlers have been moving into the West Bank for years, and incidents of violence were already growing after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned to power nearly a year ago. But the intensity of the long-running issue has grown since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, killing 1,200 people.

Yesh Din, an Israeli rights group, reports that 197 Palestinians in the West Bank have been killed by settlers or Israeli forces since Oct. 7. The United Nations reports that, in the same time frame, at least 121 Palestinian households — about 1,150 people, including 452 children — have been displaced by settler violence and access restrictions.

Daily incidents of settler violence rose from three a day earlier this year to seven since the attacks, per the United Nations. About 11 Palestinian communities have been completely abandoned in 2023 alone, according to the West Bank Protection Consortium, six of them since Hamas’ assault.

Biden has often condemned the rise in violence. “I continue to be alarmed about extremist settlers attacking Palestinians in the West Bank,” he said in October, equating the attacks to “pouring gasoline on fire.”

“They’re attacking Palestinians in places that they’re entitled to be, and it has to stop. They have to be held accountable,” Biden added.

On Friday, Blinken urged the Israeli government to confront “rising levels of settler extremist violence” during a call with Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz.

The president initially stood firmly behind Israel, saying it needed to strike back at the militant group in Gaza. Later, the administration faced pressure to alleviate the growing humanitarian crisis, eventually working with regional partners to get aid into Gaza for its 2.3 million residents starved of food, water, fuel and medical attention.

That was too little too late for some Biden voters who say they won’t pull the lever for him in 2024 over this Israel-Hamas policy.

Pressure from within Biden’s party is also mounting in Congress. Two Democrats on Thursday, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.), sent a letter urging him to do more to curb settler violence.

Progressives want the administration to call for a cease-fire in the war that has killed more than 11,000 people in Gaza, according to Hamas-led Gaza health authorities. Mainstream Democrats in the Senate and House are quietly discussing how to impose conditions on future military aid to Israel.

On Saturday evening, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who this week held a lunch for Senate Democrats to discuss the war, said he supported certain conditions like Israel halting settler violence and “an end to the indiscriminate bombing.”
