This is the sickening moment a Brooklyn man grins when confronted by a Jewish woman for tearing up posters of kidnapped Israeli children with his female partner.
Footage shared by StopAntiSemitism shows the couple laughing and walking away from the camerawoman as she calls them out for destroying the leaflets.
The video, shared over the weekend, was the latest example of pro-Palestinian protesters sickeningly tearing up posters of children snatched by Hamas on October 7.
Meanwhile, on the Upper East Side, a man sparked outrage by also tearing down posters and asking, “Where are the Palestinians?”

In the Brooklyn incident, the Jewish woman shouts, “This is mine, I paid money for this, and you’re not fucking going to do this!”
A man in a blue shirt stands next to the alleged poster ripper, grinning, as the camerawoman continues to shout.
“I’m a citizen here and these are American citizens!” she says. The woman in the burgundy jacket opens her mouth to respond, but quickly closes it again.
“Did you fucking get it? You’re not going to do it! Get the fuck out of here! These are American citizens! They’ve been kidnapped! You damn bitch!’ the camerawoman shouts.
The man approaches her, grinning, and holds up his hand to block the camera as she waves in his face. “Get the fuck out of here!” the woman shouts.
The couple begins to walk away hand in hand, after another person intervenes. The camerawoman follows them, still screaming.
In a video uploaded the next day, a man in a tan jacket is confronted by a group of people at a crosswalk on the Upper East Side.

‘Where are the Palestinians?’ he repeats as a group forms around him. Another man responds, “What does that have to do with the hostages, man?” while another tells him to put up his own posters
‘Where are the Palestinians?’ the man asks in a thick French accent, to the disbelief of those filming.
“What does that have to do with the hostages, man?” one exclaims. “What’s the matter with you?”
The man keeps asking, ‘Where are the Palestinians?’ and another responds, “So put your own sign up!”
These incidents are the latest in a series happening across the city. On October 17, two young women were caught tearing down posters in Tisch Hall at NYU.
They cleared a wall where students had plastered the faces of some of the hundreds of hostages captured by Hamas and fled with the posters in their arms.
Similar episodes have been filmed in other cities. In London, a woman was seen tearing up posters of kidnapped Israeli citizens, claiming they contained ‘false information’ about women being raped.
Witnesses filmed her on October 7 holding the torn posters.
