Despite receiving a light sentence of just 90 days in jail and five years of probation, Amin appeared to celebrate the verdict by smiling and flashing victory signs in court. He had pleaded guilty to a third-degree assault as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dallas-shooting-leaves-three-people-wounded\/\" title=\"Dallas shooting leaves three people wounded\">hate crime related<\/a> to an incident on October 18, 2023, where he followed and threatened a group of young Jewish men wearing kippahs, made antisemitic statements, and punched one of the victims. Amin&#8217;s threats included phrases like &#8220;hamas should kill more of you&#8221; and &#8220;may Allah kill all the Jews.&#8221; He arrived late to court with his mother and seemed to consider the plea deal as a victory, possibly because many charges were reduced. The case drew attention to issues surrounding hate crimes and their judicial handling.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A man who was convicted on Tuesday of stalking visibly Jewish residents in New York City celebrated as he received a slap on the wrist during a sentencing hearing.<\/p>\n<p>Yehia Amin even smiled and flashed a \u201cvictory sign\u201d after the ruling over the attack on Oct. 18, 2023, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/09\/16\/us-news\/jew-hating-attacker-flashes-wild-victory-sign-after-nyc-judge-hands-him-light-sentence-for-antisemetic-assault\/?utm_medium=social&#038;utm_campaign=nypost&#038;utm_source=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> from Jewish News Syndicate.<\/p>\n<p>He received just 90 days in jail.<\/p>\n<p>Amin pleaded guilty back in March to third-degree assault as a hate crime \u2014 a plea which came after an agreement with the Manhattan District Attorney\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n<p>He had initially faced seven charges from the incident nearly three years ago.<\/p>\n<p>He followed a 23-year-old Israeli and four friends \u2014 all of whom were wearing kippahs.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Yehia Amin was sentenced to 90 days in jail and 5 years\u2019 probation after pleading guilty to assault as a hate crime for the antisemitic attack on Oct. 18, 2023. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SP52fsCP0t\">https:\/\/t.co\/SP52fsCP0t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 New York Daily News (@NYDailyNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NYDailyNews\/status\/2100032359194103999?\">September 16, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Amin trailed them for several minutes while threatening them.<\/p>\n<p>Those threats included\u00a0\u201cHamas should kill more of you\u201d and \u201cmay Allah kill all the Jews,\u201d according to prosecutors, as well as \u201call Jews should die.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amin also punched the Israeli man in the back of the head as they were trying to get away from him, prosecutors argued.<\/p>\n<p>Glenn Richter, who founded the New York Jewish Community Judicial Watch Group, told Jewish News Syndicate that Amin arrived late in court with his mother on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Amin had failed to report in court that morning.<\/p>\n<p>Because he needed an Arabic interpreter, Amin\u2019s sentencing did not occur until the end of the day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Amin, who should have been there in the morning, saunters in in the afternoon, along with his mommy,\u201d Richter described.<\/p>\n<p>Althea Drysdale, a judge in the New York City Criminal Courts, confronted Amin about him grinning in court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see you smiling,\u201d the judge said. \u201cThis is a serious matter.
