In West Asheville, North Carolina, a group of pro-Hamas activists were having a meeting at the public library. That meeting, please note, was held on public property, and should have been open to all. But those taking part didn’t see things that way. When they discovered their meeting had three visitors, they beat those visitors and dragged them out of the room. One of their victims was an 80-year-old man with cancer and a heart stent. More on the violent assault can be found here: “Four Plead Guilty in 2024 Assault of Pro-Israel Attendees at North Carolina Library Event,” by Peter Reitzes, Algemeiner, March 13, 2026:
In 2024, two Jewish residents and an 80-year-old senior citizen were beaten and dragged out of a public event in North Carolina which celebrated Hamas and was organized by an anarchist bookfair. Now, almost two years later, four people have pleaded guilty in relation to those attacks at the West Asheville Library.
On Tuesday, three individuals entered a guilty plea for simple assault in Buncombe Superior Court, while a fourth pleaded guilty to resisting a public officer.
According to a local news report, “All four persons were placed on supervised probation for one year. As conditions of their probation, each must complete 30 hours of community service, have no contact with the victims, and refrain from posting about the event on social media.”
One of the Jewish victims, David Moritz, was in the courtroom during the proceedings and told me, “I am happy we got some measure of justice.”
Another person beaten that day in 2024 was Bob Campbell, an 80-year-old military veteran with cancer and a stent in his heart. Campbell was stomped, assaulted, and pushed to the ground, a footprint clearly visible on his shorts. Local police encouraged Campbell to see a doctor….
Take that in. A crowd of between four and twelve people (four were caught and convicted, the others are yet to be identified) surrounded and the pushed to the ground an 80-year-old man, a cancer and heart patient, and they repeatedly stomped on him. What punishment would be fitting?
Yael Lerman, director of StandWithUs Saidoff Law, told me that her organization is “tremendously proud of the victims for working tirelessly to help identify their attackers, despite the fact that many of the attackers wore masks to conceal their identities.” Lerman said she is “thrilled” they worked together to help identify the attackers so they could “bring them to justice.”…
Ah yes. The masked bullyboys, with their simian similarity to the Italian fascisti in the 1920s, wearing passemontagne, to the fascistic cagoulards in France in the 1930s, right up to the ski-masked antisemites harassing Jews on the Columbia campus in 2025. Black masks, black thoughts.
“The victims were fearless and persistent,” Lerman continued. “One of them was in his 80s and it did not stop him from fighting back. In this day and age, a lot of people — including Jews — feel fearful. The victims in this case are wonderful role models.”
One caveat: the four malefactors — with several more still to be caught — were given identical sentences that were much too light. They were placed on supervised probation for only one year. During that time, they will have to complete 30 hours of community service. I would have thought six months in jail, at a minimum, would have been appropriate, along with a stiff fine. As the French mordantly say about severe punishments, pour encourager les autres.
Well, Asheville has a Jewish mayor (Democrat of course). So let’s see if she has the guts to side with her co-religionists.
Yes, she does. Her religion is liberalism, and she worships it dearly.
North Carolina: Anti-Israel Thugs Beat and Drag Out Three Visitors at Meeting in a Public Library 3-26 Will the camps and parks be safe again or are they going to be like New York and Chigago?
The really sad part of this is that the number of white children brought up as Christians did not step up to defend these people that were being beaten. Republican type government is now in the mirror. Will they go quietly and bow to allah like their euro-peon brethren or will they fight?
Not all white children are “brought up as Christians”. Far from it.
I would be curious to see who organized this event in my home state, and more, who was funding them.
I’m thinking probably America’s Islamic or communists enemy’s.
Multiple-decade resident of Asheville, NC here. Although it’s a beautiful place geographically, socially it is a dark place, inhabited and run by leftist thugs. We saw the handwriting on the wall and cashed out some years ago while the tourist appeal was still good. The Portland Of The East, as it likes to brag upon itself. The kind of behavior described here, unfortunately, is second nature to many of its residents. Stay away, would be my recommendation.
We visited Asheville a few years ago; it is beautiful, but the aggressive “buskers” begging for money and playing bad music on the sidewalks 3 feet from our al fresco dining table, and everywhere else, ruined it for us. We will not be back.
Wow, pro-Hamas “tough guys” beat up an 80-year-old man with cancer and a heart stent. Is it any wonder why they never seem to go after anyone who can actually kick some butt.
And why was the Asheville Library hosting a pro-Hamas meeting at the public library whining about the war in Iran. And why was the meeting closed to the pro war contingent. It’s a public space.
I did get some satisfaction when that one victim planted a foot in one of the bully’s chest and sent them flying back landing on their butt. I say “them/their because I couldn’t tell if it was a guy or girl.
American judges allowing for mild sentences for beatings should be beaten and removed from office.
Does the US have the option to appeal sentences that are too lenient? I know that we do in the UK, and there was a recent example of rapists whose sentence was increased after the Solicitor General drew it to the attention of the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence Scheme – see GB News ‘Wicked, vile and sordid’ grooming gang members who raped teenage girl have ‘pathetically short’ sentences INCREASED 13/5/25
My body and my doctor tells me to keep control of my hypertension. Well, thanks for a video that poked my hypertension.
There is something very satanically wrong with law enforcement and judges that do not see the rise and repeated occurrences of crimes against the elderly and Jews by these antisemite anti American judges.
I see these young punks who think they are so fing tough that they attack senior citizens and women.
I wonder what happened to the fing males in USA to not go in and kick their assess into the hospital?
It seems that the new Reign of Terror are civil rights groups and the liberal-, Leninist-Marxist-, Communist- and cultural Maoist groups which fund them or insist upon their funding and THEIR perceived riiiiights.
Once again, Islam has no place in the civilized world. Americans must see through the sham “religious” clothing of this ravenous wolf and expel every adherent. No votary of Mohammed is loyal to any country of residence, but only to the Islamic caliphate. Any claim to the contrary by a Muslim is Taqiyya, a prescribed practice of deception.
