A pro-Palestinian activist was sentenced on Friday to 18 months in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release for his multi-year spree of violence against Jews.
The Algemeiner reports that Saadah Masoud, 29, of Staten Island, New York, pled guilty in federal court in November 2022 to conspiring to commit hate crimes in connection with his attacks on Jewish victims. As part of the guilty plea, he admitted to three assaults in 2021 and 2022.
He was sentenced on Friday by Judge Denise Cote in the Southern District of New York.
A sentencing document filed by prosecutors in February showcases the extent of Masoud’s antisemitism and the brutality of his crimes.
“I beat the s*** out of three Zionist[s] yesterday and didn’t even see a jail cell,” Masoud told his associates in the messaging app Signal on May 19, 2021, according to court documents. “ONLY VIOLENCE,” he exhorted, saying that they would only receive a minor ticket for attacking Jews.
The following day, May 20, Masoud arrived at a pro-Israel demonstration where he approached a man wearing a Star of David necklace, shouted at him, “Are you a f****** Jew?” and then punched the man in the face. After the assault, Masoud texted his friends: “no videos of me anywhere lmaooo. I’m Gucci. No face no case.”
