Anarchists mob allegedly beats three pro-Israel activists in North Carolina
One person was arrested after three pro-Israel activists were beaten at a North Carolina anarchist book fair on Saturday, the Asheville Police Department and victims said.
Police said on Monday that they were still investigating the alleged assault at the ACAB Bookfair at the West Asheville Library.
The three victims were checked by emergency services for minor injuries.
Monica Buckley, David Moritz and eighty-year-old veteran Bob Campbell shared on social media and with the police that they had attended the “Strategic Lessons from the Palestinian Resistance” seminar and live streamed the event before confronted by other participants.
Buckley published a video on Sunday in which one participant alerted the speaker that Zionists were filming the seminar.
The speaker, either Idris or Adi according to the book fair schedule, asked the crowd of 80 to 100 people what they wanted to do with the three pro-Israel activists.
The anarchists surrounded Buckley and Moritz to block their cameras. Moritz, with bruises on his face, explained in a Saturday social media video that they began to push the three in their seats.
Buckley’s phone was grabbed from her hand, and when she attempted to retrieve it was punched. Moritz said that he attempted to aid Buckley but was also punched repeatedly and put in a headlock.
One person could be heard saying that they were going to throw the phone against a wall.
Attempting to expel pro-Israelis
The anarchists allegedly attempted to expel the pro-Israel activists from the library, during which Campbell reportedly fell to the ground.
“I don’t give a F**k about your age,” a voice could be heard in Buckley’s recording.
Moritz said that the library had further footage of the assault, and he would be pressing charges
Taylor Danielle Zarkin, 35, was charged with two counts of resisting, delay, and obstruct during the initial investigation.
Moritz said that the three had attended the event out of curiosity, and that they wouldn’t have gone if it was a private event rather than one billed as open to all and held at a public library. Moritz also said that they had complied with rules to wear medical masks. He said that they had sat quietly until they were assaulted.
The schedule for the seminar offered to teach the “strategic practices” developed by “Palestinian resistance groups” over 75 years.
“What can revolutionaries in ‘the West’ learn from the Palestinian resistance, now that the struggle to stop the genocide in Gaza and free Palestine spreads to this terrain?” read the schedule.
Buckley claimed that the speaker had started his speech praising the October 7 Massacre.
At least two people are dead and “several” others are injured after a “planned fight” at a North Carolina park escalated into a mass shooting, authorities said.
Police have identified several victims and suspects after Monday’s shooting at Leinbach Park near Jefferson Middle School, according to the Winston-Salem Police Department.
Authorities confirmed there were multiple victims in the shooting, but did not provide an exact number. The suspects were still at large over two hours later.
Officers were called to the park just before 10 a.m. after reports of a fight, which then escalated into multiple people shooting each other.
Area schools are not in lockdown, and classes are operating as normal, police said.
“Due to the number of people involved, efforts are ongoing to account for everyone. At this time, some of those involved in the incident are juveniles,” police said.
According to local news station WFMY, at least three people were taken to the hospital. Officials have not shared their conditions.
Police said the shooting was an isolated incident and remains under investigation.

The North Carolina Tar Heels will be a young program across the board next season, with well over two dozen freshmen and numerous additions from the transfer portal this offseason. Expectations for the 2026 season are lowered dramatically after a disastrous first season for head coach Bill Belichick, though those expectations could help the Tar Heels fly under the radar.
As the Tar Heels approach the end of spring ball, it is time to look at the veterans of the team—the ones who have the experience to lead, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Let’s look at three underrated seniors for the 2026 football season.
Ade Willie, Cornerback
Willie joins the Tar Heels program after four years with Michigan State, as the former 4-star player in the 2022 recruiting class gets an opportunity to not only provide depth to the secondary, but potentially start Week 0 against TCU.
Willie played in over 30 games with the Spartans and brings experience in the secondary at cornerback and safety, along with quality length and closing speed to the football. For a defense that needs players to step up, the redshirt senior from IMG Academy will be asked to do so.
Isaiah Johnson, Defensive Lineman
The defensive line is beginning to look like one of the Tar Heels’ strengths for the 2026 season. Johnson, a former transfer from Arizona, enters his redshirt senior year looking to add another year of production after 40 tackles and two sacks this past season.
North Carolina has an impressive group of starters with Malkart Abou-Jaoude, Leroy Jackson, and incoming transfer Jaylen Harvey. Johnson adds value to the group as a run defender with the ability to penetrate the pocket. While not discussed as a key player, Johnson’s name will be used plenty during the regular season as a potential standout for the program’s defensive front.
Coleman Bryson, Safety
Bryson was a reserve player for the Tar Heels’ secondary last season as a big nickel defender in the rotation. Heading into his redshirt senior year, the former Minnesota Gopher is looking to become a full-time starter in the secondary.
It wasn’t long ago when Bryson was making plays as the 2022 Pinstripe Bowl Defensive MVP. His special teams abilities were valuable for North Carolina last season, and he flashed at times in coverage against tight ends, including a pass breakup in the season-opener against TCU. The Waynesville, North Carolina, native could be a key defender on the back-seven in 2026.
