Jew-hating Palestinian migrant busted in NY for stealing pro-Israel flag: cops

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 a porch of a home in Hewlett on Sunday.

But the homeowner pulled the flag back after a scuffle caught on the house’s Ring camera — which set Lehbieb off, authorities said.

Lehbieb snatched the flag back then stomped on the flag while yelling, “I am Palestinian and you Jews are killing Palestinians,” according to Nassau County police.

The accused later allegedly ranted to to cops that he hated Israeli Jews and made other hateful statements, authorities told The Post.

He told police who arrested him, “If I see the flag of the people that killed my people, we will have a problem.”

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.

He is now facing hate crime charges of second degree assault and robbery and criminal mischief. He was arraigned on Monday in Nassau District Court and Lehbeid was detained on $50,000.

“Nassau County is not a sanctuary county,” said county Executive Bruce Blakeman, who announced the arrest along with Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly.

The circumstances surrounding Lehbeib’s roaming of the Hewlett neighborhood are under investigation, authorities said.

Lehbieb, who said he was in the neighborhood looking for work, had two listed addresses: one in Jamaica, Queens and a second at the hotel-turned-shelter Ramada by Wyndham on Staten Island.

He is believed to have taken a bus from the Queens address to Hewlett, cops said.

“It’s very suspicious,” Blakeman said. “He came a long way from Staten Island to get here. If he’s looking for work why did he have nefarious ideas.

“It’s absolutely crazy,” he added.

Blakeman expressed concerned that terrorists and organized criminals are pouring over the lax U.S.-Mexican border, unvetted and wanting to cause harm.

“These aren’t people kissing the ground when they come here. They’re spitting on our flag,” he said.

“It’s an invasion. It’s a disgrace.”
