"The #AntiDefamationLeague’s local leader decried a #pleadeal reached Tuesday that is expected to spare the man charged with causing the 2023 #death of #Jewish #protester #PaulKessler from being sent to #prison. Instead, #LoayAbdelFattahAlnaji would face no more than a year in county #jail.

#Alnaji, 53, of #Moorpark, #California, admitted to hitting #Kessler, a 69-year-old Jewish pro-#Israel #activist, in the head with a megaphone during dueling pro-#Palestinian and pro-Israel demonstrations in a #LosAngeles suburb in November 2023.

Kessler later died of his injuries, and his death became the first tied to demonstrations surrounding the war in #Gaza in the #UnitedStates."
