A pro-Palestinian demonstrator allegedly beat to death an elderly pro-Israel demonstrator at a protest in California, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. According to eyewitnesses, a confrontation developed between the two. Some say the Palestinian protester beat the Jewish man with his megaphone. The elderly man was found on the ground bleeding and was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead from a cerebral hemorrhage.
This is a video of the man, still alive on the ground:
