(Jewish Group) Manhattan DA offers sweetheart deal to suspect in brutal anti-Semitic attack

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office has offered a sweetheart plea deal to a suspect charged in the brutal anti-Semitic beating of a Jewish man in Midtown, prosecutors confirmed.

Waseem Awawdeh — who defiantly said “I would do it again” after his arrest in the cowardly assault on Joseph Borgen near a pro-Israel rally in May 2021 — has gotten a six-month plea deal offer from the controversial Big Apple prosecutor.

That would be a slap-on-the-wrist compared to the up to 10 years he would face if convicted.

Awawdeh, 24, was part of a gang of brutes busted in the attack on Borgen, who was wearing a yarmulke as he walked to a pro-Israel rally in Midtown Manhattan.
