Netizens have identified Moorpark College professor Loay Alnaji as the person behind the murder of pro-Israel protestor Paul Kessler. This comes after The Post confirmed that the pro-Palestine lecturer was questioned by the police in Thousand Oaks, California. Now, netizens have taken to popular website Rate My Professors to flood the educator’s page with negative reviews.
For those unversed, 69-year-old Paul Kessler succumbed to his injuries after getting attacked during a pro-Israel demonstration. On November 6, law enforcement confirmed that he died from blunt force trauma to the head.
Since then, netizens have taken to the internet to pin the blame on Loay Alnaji despite the police not naming the professor as a suspect.
Popular non-profit organization Stop Antisemites took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to claim that a “pro-Hamas video was discovered on the Instagram feed of Loay Alnaji, the college professor who hit Jewish individual Paul Kessler in the face with a megaphone, ultimately killing him.”
X user @ImMeme0 also took to the platform to name the 50-year-old educator as the person behind the killing.

“Oh, God, give victory to your weak servants in Palestine, and everywhere … O Allah, bind their hearts with bond of patience and faith.”
According to X user @Artofhunger75, Alnaji posted pro-Hamas content on his official Instagram account, which was unavailable online at the time of writing this article.

His profile on the Ventura County Community College website revealed that he had a doctorate in Business Administration and a minor in Information Systems. He reportedly pursued a master’s and Bachelor of Science degree in computer science.
According to a news outlet, Alnaji moved to the United States in the 1990s after previously being a resident of the United Arab Emirates.
