Just weeks after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack in Israel, an elderly Jewish man was killed during a pro-Palestinian protest in California. Now, Loay Abdel Fattah Alnaji, 53, the man who struck Paul Kessler, 69, may serve as little as a year or even avoid jail time.
The Gateway Pundit reportedthat Kessler was walking near the protest with an Israeli flag when an altercation broke out.
Alnaji allegedly struck Kessler with a megaphone, which caused him to fall to the ground and led to a severe head injury.

Before Alnaji went to trial, he entered a plea deal and pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including involuntary manslaughter and felony battery causing serious bodily injury.
The Ventura County Starreports, “Ventura County Superior Court Judge Derek Malan offered the defendant probation if he changed his plea. Alnaji now faces a maximum sentence of one year in jail followed by three years on probation.”
“Defense attorney Ron Bamieh said the offer came after several meetings with Malan and recalled that the judge determined ‘two old guys had a dispute and an accident happened.'”
