One of the most grotesque things we have been seeing over the last two weeks is people tearing down flyers of people who have been missing since the Hamas attacks on Israel.
In New York, one man doing that just met some old-school New Yorkers who angrily called him out for it.
The Jerusalem Post reports:
New Yorker goes viral for confronting person who ripped down Israeli hostage postersCountless videos have spread this week of people taking down hostage posters. But almost immediately, it seems, viewers knew that this one would be different.Like the others, this video featured someone tearing down the fliers featuring the names and pictures of some of the more than 200 people held captive by Hamas in Gaza. But unlike the rest, the man confronting the poster-ripper did not just urge the person to stop. Instead, he said the f-word. A lot.Another difference: The man confronting the person taking down the posters was, by his own admission, “not f—ing Jewish.”“You don’t have a f—ing right to touch that s—,” the man sporting a brown plaid shirt yelled in a thick New York City accent about halfway through the 43-second clip, which was first shared by the group StopAntisemitism. Someone can be heard calling him Paulie.
Here’s the video:
Way to go, Paulie.
Legal Insurrection reader and commenter LukeHandCool commented on Twitter:
Lots of people were impressed by this.
Paulie should run for mayor of New York. I’m betting he would be more effective than the last two.
