Humans are charged with attacks on Jewish demonstrators due to the federal hate crimes

A New York man was charged with demonstrations against the war against the war in Gaza, according to a charges published on Wednesday for demonstrations on the war in Gaza Strip.

The 20 -year -old Tarek Bazrouk, the 20 -year -old, was arrested and beaten over about nine months after his kicking and beating Jewish demonstrators who wore religious clothing or wore Israeli flags in three separate protests in Manhattan.

“Although Bazroouk was arrested after every incident, he was supposedly undeterred and quickly returned to use violence to aim for Jews in New York City,” said Jay Clayton, the preliminary US lawyer of the Southern District of New York, in a press release on Wednesday.

Mr. Clayton said that his office was “dedicated to the search for justice for victims of hate crimes and would be aggressively pursuing those who spread bigotry and discrimination against violence.”

Mr. Bazroouk was charged with three counts of hate crimes, each of which has a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. It was not immediately clear whether he had a lawyer.

According to the public prosecutor's office, Mr. Bazrouk was arrested in April 2024 in a protest outside the New York stock exchange, after he had “felled” a group of pro-Israeli demonstrators and then, when he was brought to a police vehicle, entered a demonstrator.

He was arrested again in a protest in Upper Manhattan in December after beating a Jewish student who draped into an Israeli flag and stole another flag from the student's brother, said the prosecutors. Mr. Bazroouk was arrested a third time in January, said the prosecutors after beating a demonstrator with an Israeli flag during a demonstration near First Avenue and the East 18th Street in Manhattan.

In the press release, Christopher G. Raia, the deputy director of the FBI field office of the FBI, Mr. Bazroouk, accused “of providing a pattern of support for anti -Semitic terrorist organizations”. A search for his cell phone after his arrest resulted in propaganda and text messages from Pro-Hamas, in which he identified as “Jewish haters”, the prosecutors said. The two -sided indictment does not deal with these allegations.

At a time when the Trump government has taken over an aggressive attitude towards pro-Palestinian demonstrations, the Trump government has taken over, accused and tried to deport some demonstrators.

Mahmoud Khalil and Mohsen Mahdawi, both of whom were active at Columbia University, were arrested by the immigration authorities at the beginning of this year, as did a Tufts Doctoral Rumeysa Ozturk, who had criticized Israel in an opinion for a student newspaper. Mr. Mahdawi was released last week; Mr. Khalil and Ms. Ozturk stay in the federal authority in Louisiana.

Protests in New York City against the war in Gaza, once a daily event, have become less common. Dozens of people were taken into police custody on Wednesday evening after Pro-Palestinian demonstrators occupied part of the Columbia main library for several hours to resume the movement that was swinging the campus last spring.
