Courtroom erupts after man sentenced for beating Jew yells 'Free Palestine'

A man who was convicted in the beating of a Jewish man in New York City back in 2021 yelled out "Free Palestine" inside a courtroom during his sentencing hearing, The New York Post reported.

Mahmoud Musa, 23, was sentenced to seven years in prison in connection to the attack on Joseph Borgen which took place during a confrontation between supporters of Israel and Palestinian.

As he was being led away in handcuffs, he yelled "Free Palestine," which sparked an uproar in the court room from his supporters, with some of them calling the judge a "racist." Musa's supporters were then escorted out of the courtroom by security, according to reports.

From The New York Post: "Borgen, who was wearing a yarmulke, was pepper-sprayed by a pack of men as they hurled antisemitic slurs at him while beating him in an attack captured on video that later went viral. He said he still suffers from post-traumatic-stress-disorder and wrist pain as a result of the attack, which left him with a concussion and other injuries."
