- Arab-Israeli activist Yoseph Haddad told JNS that he filed a police report accusing Dennis Feitosa, a former California congressional candidate and podcaster who goes by “Def Noodles,” of assaulting him during an Aug. 10 debate about Israel in Las Vegas. Haddad described Feitosa to JNS as a “neo-Nazi.”
- Video footage described by JNS showed Feitosa calling Haddad, who served in the Israeli military, a “genocidal” expletive and forcefully grabbing his hand during the debate. Feitosa then appeared to come around the debate table toward Haddad before others intervened. Separate footage from the parking lot afterward showed Feitosa grabbing Haddad from behind by the neck before several people pulled him away and held him on the ground.’
- Feitosa disputed Haddad’s account, saying it was “false” that he attacked Haddad first. Haddad said the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officer who took his statement reviewed the videos and accepted his full complaint. As of the article’s publication, no charges had been brought against Feitosa, and the police department told JNS it could not release the incident report.
