Last night there was a small pro-Israel rally held outside in Newton, Massachusetts when they were attacked by a pro-Hamas activist who began yelling at them from across the street.
The pro-Hamas activist was shot in the stomach after he charged them from across the street and literally attacked an Iraq war veteran by tackling him to the ground.
Here’s video from the Daily Wire:
“A man wearing a Palestinian pin was shot in the stomach this evening after he charged through traffic and tackled a pro-Israel Iraq war veteran in Newton, Massachusetts.”

This appears to be a clear case of self-defense. But you wouldn’t know this from the misleading coverage by local news outlets:
The Boston Globe is complete trash.
The truth: The man charged across a street through traffic and tackled a man to the ground. Then the attacker was shot. pic.twitter.com/B1voIkmOVB

This description isn’t even in the same universe as what actually happened and it’s rather revealing that some are willing to promote it even in a case where we have the full video. https://t.co/sgJVEcsoY6

Unclear if the shooter in Newton was acting in self defense and whether or not he had a license to carry…DA also trying to determine if the shooting was a hate crime…news conference set for 10:30pm#7News pic.twitter.com/2GxD0Y25Ia

The shooting a hate crime? Unreal.
According to DW, the Framington man is the Iraq war veteran and he’s being charged with assault and battery by the DA:
The veteran was charged with: assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and violation of a constitutional right causing injury.
He will be arraigned tomorrow.

Yeah the pro-Israel man is so hateful he actually rendered medical care to the pro-Hamas activist he had to shoot in self-defense:
In a second video, the veteran is seen giving medical care to the man who tackled him until first responders arrived.
