We don’t know what kind of terrorists could be coming across the open border, but at least one of them was dumb enough to give himself away early on.
A self-described Palestinian migrant from northern Africa stole a pro-Israel flag from a Long Island porch — then pummeled the homeowner who tried to stop him in a wild caught-on-video attack, officials said.
Bechir Lehbeib, 26, allegedly stole the flag — which declared “In This Home We Stand with Israel — from Aleksandr Binyaminov’s porch, cops said.
The flag actually appears to be one of those hybrid American-Israeli flags.
Binyaminov, who said one of his wife’s relatives was killed in the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks on Israel, was left bruised after the attack and blamed President Biden’s border policies for the clash.
The homeowner told The Post he was alerted by his Ring security system that someone was at his house and he looked at video of the front of his house to see the theft in progress.
“So I got dressed, came out. I confronted him,” Binyaminov said. “I told him, ‘Give me the flags,’ and he just started fighting with me and punching me in my face.”
Since this happened in New York, assume that Bechir Lehbeib will get a pass.
And the border will stay open.
”Lehbeib, who descibed himself as Palestinian, entered the U.S.from Mexico in November, authorities said. Officials said they aren’t sure of his country of origin, but said they believe he migrated from somewhere in the northern part of Africa.
This story came out around the same time as pro-Hamas propagandists were flooding the zone with a story from Texas about a Muslim man at a hate rally allegedly being stabbed after an interaction over a PLO flag. Like the Burlington, Vermont story that had previously been disproven, expect this one to trigger official condemnations by everyone from Biden on down, even as they ignore this attack over an Israeli flag.
The homeowner told police that after the attack, Lehbeib said, “I’m Palestinian and you Jews are killing Palestinians.”
But this is what open borders and Islamic migration into America mean, for Jews and for everyone else.
