How a society responds to a crisis tells us just as much about that society as the crisis itself, maybe more. Which is why the scene yesterday at a Manhattan federal courthouse is so dismaying.
Tarek Bazrouk was sentenced yesterday to 17 months in prison—the maximum allowed by his plea deal—for three separate anti-Semitic assaults. Yet it wasn’t the judge who was cheered but Bazrouk. Luke Tress reports:
“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.”
When Bazrouk was arrested, officers reportedly found over $750,000 and an “arsenal” of weapons. Text messages showing Bazrouk’s anti-Semitism made the hate-crimes charges easy. According to prosecutors, Bazrouk was a member of a chat group receiving regular updates from the late Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida. He wore a Hamas headband during one of the attacks. Bazrouk appears to have been a violent criminal who went looking for Jews to assault and finally got locked up for it.
Which is to say, there is nothing sympathetic about the American-born Bazrouk. But that itself is what makes him such a figure of sympathy for the pro-Palestinian activist class.
In 2024, he was arrested for attacking pro-Israel protesters and in fact assaulted another one as he was being arrested. This lovely ball of hate was at it again later in the year, ambushing a Jew near a Columbia protest. Then in January of this year, he got his hat trick.
