A Columbia University protester with ties to Hamas has been indicted on federal hate crime charges.

Tarek Bazrouk, 20, a U.S. citizen from NYC, was:

– In a chat group with Hamas’ military spokesman Abu Obeida, receiving real-time updates from the terror group’s armed wing, al-Qassam Brigades

– Caught on Columbia’s campus texting about setting a Jewish student on fire during an anti-Israel protest

– Called an acquittance a “F—ing Jew,” and told a friend to “slap that bitch” in reference to a woman with an Israeli sticker on her laptop, according to court documents.

– Allegedly assaulted multiple Jews, including punching a Columbia student while ranting about Hitler

– Found in possession of brass knuckles, multiple knives, and $750,000 in cash during a federal raid

– Had his phone “littered with pro-Hamas and pro-Hezbollah propaganda,” including memes celebrating terrorism and messages calling Jews “worthless”

– Boasted that he was a “Jew hater” and “mad happy” to have Hamas-affiliated family abroad

– Told a friend he would “boom boom” the next Jew he saw

– Traveled to the West Bank and Jordan for approximately three weeks in September 2024 for unknown reasons.

This is the first confirmed case of a U.S.-based protester directly connected to Hamas’ military leadership.

And it happened at Columbia University, where pro-Hamas demonstrators were celebrated by the media and many of our politicians as civil rights activists.

He’s facing up to 30 years in prison.

University officials claim he wasn’t a student, but does that even matter? If anything it makes it worse. Why were these people allowed anywhere near campus?

And why did the NYPD continue to release him time and time again?

Inside a London courtroom Tuesday, a mischief charge against London physician Dr. Tarek Loubani was dropped.

“We knew that we were going to win this case, we were ready to fight this case straight to the end,” said Loubani, speaking with CTV News outside the courthouse on Dundas Street in London, Ont.

Nearly a year ago, Loubani, who also teaches at Western University, was arrested and charged with mischief, for spraying ketchup on the exterior of Member of Parliament Peter Fragiskatos’ office — he spent a night at the holding cells inside London Police Service Headquarters.

“What I was doing when I sprayed ketchup during this protest against genocide is a constitutionally protected right,” said Loubani.

His counsel Arash Ghiassi and Riaz Sayani, sent a statement to CTV News, in part it reads, “Members of the public have the constitutional right to protest against their elected officials. Had the charge not been withdrawn, we would have defended the case at trial on this basis, as well as on the merits.”

Loubani said they’ve been asking Fragiskatos to take a strong position against an “act of genocide.”

“He has said nothing in approximately a year. And when he did say something in December of 2023, it was to Palestinians for their own genocide,” added Loubani.

[...]

Just hours after the mischief charge was dropped, Loubani returned to Fragiskatos’ office, spraying it with ketchup once again. He expressed no concern of getting charged.

I saw the headline and thought this would just be a fun silly story, but then I read the article and found out that Tarek Loubani did this in protest of his elected official's lack of support for Palestine. Absolute king. I'm glad the charges were dropped.

Aw, does that mean we shouldn't expect any drama regarding Tarek if we romance Alessa?

I think you may have a somewhat skewed idea of what Tarek and Alessa's relationship is like…

A self described “Jew-hater” who protested against Israel on Columbia University’s campus and contemplated setting a student on fire had a direct link to Hamas’ deadly al-Qassam Brigades militant group.

Tarek Bazrouk — awaiting trial after being indicted on three federal hate crimes against Jewish people — was “a member of a chat group that received regular updates from Abu Obeida,” the official spokesperson for the brigades, according to allegations in federal documents.

This is evidence of an agitator receiving information directly from Hamas and taking action during protests on the university campus.

While on Columbia’s campus during protests in April 2024, Bazrouk allegedly texted a pal saying he lit a flare and considered lighting someone on fire, but that there were “too many” people around for him to take on, otherwise he “would’ve hurted [sic] them.”
