Israeli-Arab advocacy activist Yoseph Haddad submitted an official complaint to the police against anti-Israel YouTuber Dennis Feitosa, known as "Def Noodles," following the violent confrontation between the two on Monday night in Los Angeles. The incident began during a podcast debate and later spilled out to the parking lot, where the confrontation escalated.
During the debate, Feitosa began cursing at Haddad and turning the argument into a physical confrontation. Later, while in the parking lot outside the studio, Feitosa attacked Haddad from behind before security tackled him to the ground.
Haddad, a veteran of the Golani Brigade, did not run away after being attacked and managed to land a few punches on Feitosa while he was pinned to the ground before the two were separated. The two sides continued to spar verbally before Haddad and his entourage left.
"This isn’t anything new," Haddad wrote after the incident. "When they can’t win a verbal debate, they turn to physical confrontation...which they lose as well!"
Feitosa, who lost the Republican primary in California’s 30th Congressional District in June 2026, made serious allegations against Haddad following the debate. Among other claims, he alleged that Haddad referred during the debate to his military service and to fatalities in operations in which he had participated.
The matter is now also being handled as a criminal case by local law enforcement authorities in the United States.
