Newly released video from the Digital Social Hour podcast shows Arab-Israeli activist and IDF veteran Yosef Haddad in a second physical confrontation with anti-Israel activist Dennis Feitosa in the studio parking lot, where Feitosa attacked Haddad from behind. The earlier altercation inside the studio began after Feitosa called Haddad a 'genocidal asshole' and grabbed his hand; Haddad responded by grabbing Feitosa by the head. Others separated them, but the clash resumed in the parking lot, according to the footage.
The new parking-lot footage, circulated earlier this morning, adds the final piece to the escalating physical confrontation between Arab-Israeli activist Yosef Haddad and anti-Israel American influencer Dennis Feitosa (known as Def Noodles) during a taping of the Digital Social Hour podcast in Los Angeles. The footage shows Feitosa attacking Haddad from behind, after an earlier brawl inside the studio that began when Feitosa called Haddad a "genocidal asshole" and grabbed his hand.
The incident unfolded in stages throughout the day. At 04:16 Jerusalem, The Zioneer first reported a physical brawl between Haddad and anti-Israel activists during the podcast taping. By 09:41, The Zioneer identified the other party as Dennis Piethosa and reported that the fight moved from the studio to the parking lot, leaving Piethosa injured. At 10:59, video of the studio confrontation was released, showing two physical engagements. The new parking-lot footage, released since then, confirms the second attack from behind and rounds out the visual record of the altercation. The debate format had pitted Haddad against ten anti-Israel activists in succession, according to the video's description.
This latest incident is part of a pattern of physical confrontations Haddad has faced during his U.S. advocacy tour. In August 2026, Haddad reported being attacked by a neo-Nazi in a parking lot after a separate filmed debate. In July 2026, a video circulated showing Haddad subduing a pro-Palestinian activist who allegedly punched him. Haddad has framed these incidents as evidence that anti-Israel rhetoric often escalates to violence when verbal arguments fail.
No further updates on the condition of either party or any legal action have been reported at this time.
