Actually their problem [poison] was always their mainstream.
Not the fringe.
NY antisemitic attacker sentenced to 17 months, with hundreds on hand to support him.
Federal judge’s sentence of Tarek Bazrouk is near the maximum stipulated by plea deal; victim says he’s ‘grateful,’ that decision will protect other Jews.

NEW YORK — A federal court in New York City on Tuesday sentenced an anti-Israel activist, Tarek Bazrouk, to 17 months in prison for attacking Jews, in a case that galvanized the pro-Palestinian activist movement in the US.
Bazrouk, 20, attacked Jews at anti-Israel protests in three incidents and pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit hate crimes in June.
The victims of the attacks, which took place surrounding anti-Israel protests in 2024 and early 2025, were all wearing Jewish or Israeli symbols or were otherwise identifiable as such.
Bazrouk, who is Palestinian, became a cause célèbre for anti-Israel activists across the US after his arrest. Leading groups, such as National Students for Justice in Palestine, urged their followers to sign a letter to the judge in his case, arguing for leniency in the sentencing.
Around 200 Bazrouk supporters filed into the federal Southern District court in Manhattan on Tuesday morning for the sentencing. Several dozen, including his family, sat in the courtroom, while the rest were diverted to an overflow room to watch the proceedings via livestream. The attack victims and a smaller number of their supporters from the Jewish community sat across the aisle.
