Jewish man Paul Kessler is killed during duel Israel and Palestine rallies at California intersection as his wife is left in 'a state of total shock'
Daily Mail ^ | 11/06/23 | Harriet Alexander

An elderly Jewish protester has been killed in California after a skirmish led to him falling on his head after reportedly being hit with a megaphone.

Paul Kessler, 69, was caught up in rival rallies in Thousand Oaks on Sunday - one in support of Israel and the other backing the Palestinian cause.

Kessler is understood to have been involved in a tussle with another person where he fell backward and hit his head on the ground.

Harrowing social media footage showed him lying on the ground with a pool of blood under him as medics rushed to help him.

He was taken to the hospital on Sunday but died of his injuries the following day. Cops launched an investigation as his autopsy ruled his death a homicide.

Kessler's wife on Monday was said to be 'in a state of total shock' while local religious leaders called his death a 'tragedy'.

Local rabbi Moshe Bryski told the New York post that Kessler's death was 'just a tragedy.'

The rabbi added that Kessler was at the event to serve as a counter-protestor to a Pro-Palestinian gathering.

Bryski said when he contacted Kessler's wife on Monday morning, she was 'in a state of total shock.'

The clash happened around 3:20pm on Sunday when police were called for a reported battery.

Sheriff's deputies arrived and found Kessler with a head injury. He was taken the hospital, where he died on Monday.

An autopsy determined Kessler died from a blunt force head injury and the manner of death was ruled a homicide.

Witnesses told investigators that Kessler was involved in a scrum with other protestors. He fell back and hit his head on the ground. The Los Angeles Times reported that Kessler was hit in the head before falling back.

If you have to go anywhere near one of these student loan deadbeat, pro-Muzzie terrorist “rallies”, I recommend you are armed and ready. These extreme far-left student maggots are the real HATERS in this country. It’s better to stay away from those terrorist bass turds. That’s what the FBI heroes are doing. They aren’t going nowhere near them.

Any pali protests are by nature violent

Sad, the horror has reached our land at last. The ancient hate is not dead, like Dracula, it raises again from its casket. See how well the Democrats protect Jews—they talk the liberal talk but they do not walk the walk.

Thank you for the link. This guy does speak quite eloquently. And, in addition, I agree wholeheartedly with what he was saying.

Obviously...skirmishes, tussles, clashes and scrums should be banned.

I guess liberal jews are about to find out where they rank in the Left's intersectional hierarchy.

Except this won't stop with jews.

A tussle is not someone hitting you over the head with a bullhorn.

Maybe there were two duels.

It was a dual duel.

What?

Voting democrat is a tradition we need to wean people away from, not castigate and abandon them. Now is the time to encourage Jews to see the Republican party (or at least non-democrats) as a real option politically.

LOL...all four of these words were used in the article to describe the murderous assault.

“skirmish, tussle, clash and scrum”

Silly Daily Mail...

It appears that the Daily Mail has corrected the headline. There must still be at least one literate adult working there.

The Daily Mail article said “Dual” not “Duel”.
FReeper mistake.

Previously the headline did indeed say “duel.” I saw it myself. They subsequently corrected it.
