Israeli-Arab activist Yoseph Haddad was involved in a physical altercation with California<\/a> Congressional candidate Dennis Feitosa on Monday after being challenged while filming the podcast “Digital Social Hour.”<\/p>\n

In a video later released on social media<\/a>, Feitosa can be seen grabbing at Haddad’s hand as Haddad<\/a> gestures while speaking as the two fought verbally.<\/p>\n

“You kill children. F*** off you genocidal<\/a> f***ing freak. You genocidal f***ing freak,” Feitosa can be heard saying as Haddad taunts him, saying “you can’t do s***, my brother.”<\/p>\n

Haddad then pulled Feitosa forward by the hand, knocking their heads together before the two were forced apart.<\/p>\n

The video then showed the two outside, apparently prepared to fight each other. In one angle, Haddad seemed to have picked several rocks up in his hand to use. An apparent member of Feitosa’s entourage approached Haddad’s wife, asking her repeatedly if Haddad was her husband as she tried to block the camera he was holding.<\/p>\n

The video then showed Haddad walking away, paper in one hand, phone in the other, while a man attempted to hold Feitosa back.<\/p>\n

“Be a man,” called Feitosa.<\/p>\n

“I wasn’t planning on fighting you anyway,” Haddad said before Feitosa came up behind him and put him into a headlock. Two others pulled Feitosa off and to the ground before Haddad hit him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Israeli-Arab activist Yoseph Haddad was involved in a physical altercation with California Congressional candidate Dennis Feitosa on Monday…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":429696,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[87202,91946,7,9,8,6221,170917],"class_list":["post-429695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-anti-zionism","tag-antizionism","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news","tag-podcast","tag-yoseph-haddad"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=429695"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429695\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/429696"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=429695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=429695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=429695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
