Latest Disgusting Tactic in Hamas Hostage Poster Wars: Labeling Victims as ‘Occupiers’
“We’re past tearing down posters. In New York, people have pasted the word ‘occupier’ on flyers bearing images of Hamas’s hostages. Including children.”
We’ve written before about how posters with photos of those taken hostage by Hamas terrorists are being torn off of street poles and walls at an alarming frequency not just here in the United States but in Europe and elsewhere.
In New York City in particular, which is home to the highest Jewish population in the world outside of Israel, the incidents are increasingly commonplace, with one of the most notorious and widely viewed ones being the three NYU students who were seen ripping down posters of Israeli hostages and carrying the crumpled pieces of paper away, presumably to put them in the trash:

In some other instances caught on video, the Hamas sympathizers were named and shamed, and subsequently were either suspended from or fired from their jobs.
But anyone who thought that it couldn’t get any more sickening than ripping posters of captive Israelis down will get even more disgusted when they see the latest tactic in the Hamas hostage poster wars in the Big Apple: Labeling the victims, including children and senior citizens, as “occupiers” instead of tearing the posters down – effectively suggesting that they are the ones who are in the wrong here and that perhaps they deserve to be held against their will by Hamas terrorists in Gaza:

Imagine being such a piece of shit that you print off ‘OCCUPIER’ banners and glue them onto posters of abducted civilians. pic.twitter.com/3uLh9Ank6T

They did this to every poster on Madison Avenue on the Upper East Side. I was horrified and tried to remove the “Occupier”sticker. Vile humans amongst us. pic.twitter.com/kZ9CFviblJ

On the Upper East Side posters of kidnapped children have been defaced with the word “occupier.” This is unacceptable. These are innocent children who need to be brought home and returned to their families. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/F1uxGDES04

The disgust among New Yorkers is, understandably, particularly strong.
NYC Councilwoman Vickie Paladino is another city leader who, like Menin, is outraged over what’s happened to her city:
Imagine putting up a poster of an eight year old child kidnapped by terrorists and branding her an ‘occupier’, and still thinking you’re the good guys.
This is pure evil we’re dealing with. And it’s in our city. It’s in our institutions. And it’s going to take a lot to fix it.

Councilwoman Joann Ariola also weighed in:
Imagine having so much hate in your heart that you would deface a photo of a kidnapped child and label her an “occupier”? This is truly disgusting, and I pray for this girl’s safe return, along with all the others held hostage by Hamas.

Please consider kicking in to my GoFundMe to purchase free plane tickets to fly all of these jackwagons to Gaza City and see how well they make out with Hamas https://t.co/PtiItO4u8k

Conservative commentator Guy Benson went off after seeing the photos and perhaps with them, the videos, and the violent anti-Semitic “protests” we’ve seen all over the country in mind, could draw only one conclusion:
The horrible truth that people need to start reckoning with is that many in the “pro-Palestine” crowd don’t see civilians as innocents or victims. They see them as Jewish “occupiers” (never mind there’s no occupation of Gaza) deserving of this fate. Again, they just straight-up support Hamas.
“Horrible truth” indeed.

This what we in the west get because the powerful kept pushing Diversity, Inclusion and Equity. Yep they gave us DIE and now we are witnessing what unchecked liberalism has done.
BLM supports hamas.
BLM is branch office of terrorists.
The Left’s favorite victims turned out to be human butchers.
Awkward.
Not really. The left has always been butchers. They like killing.
They don’t idolize Che because he was photogenic — they idolize him because he ran a death camp.
I know in their broken little minds they think they’re clever but this move is just exposing them as the vile little anti-Semitic terrorist supporting thugs that they are.
Serious question… why not just beat the living fuck out of these sick morons?
That is what is wanted.
Better to enjoy a BLT in their presence.
All last week they protest against the Jews, This morning they march in the streets. In the afternoon they do this. Then tomorrow they go a little further. And the day after that….
Well, you don’t have to be clairvoyant to see where this is going.
Those that are not citizens should be deported.
Those that immigrated and are naturalized citizens should have their citizenship revoked and then deported.
I know neither of those things will happen but there is a precedent. When it is discovered that former Nazi’s or concentration camp guards lied to gain entry into this country they are deported even decades later.
If Congress had any guts and the wisdom to see where these protests and violence against Jews (and Trump supporters during the George Floyd riots) is going they would take action before mass atrocities start occurring in our major cities. It is almost certain that sooner or later these radical lunatics will do the same things as Islamic mobs have done for over a thousand years which is to murder, rape and plunder those who do not share their beliefs. This is true for leftist mobs as well though the history is not as long.
They can’t be. US citizenship, once legitimately obtained, whether by birth or by naturalization, cannot be revoked no matter what.
Listen to your own words. Those people are only deported if it is discovered that they were never naturalized in the first place, because they obtained naturalization by fraud, so it was always invalid. There’s nothing to revoke.
That’s exactly like discovering that someone who was thought to have been born in the USA was actually born over the border in Canada. They were never a citizen in the first place, so there’s nothing to revoke.
Or that terrorist woman born in NJ whose citizenship was declared invalid because it turned out that on the date she was born her parents had diplomatic immunity. She’d been mistakenly treated as a US citizen for decades, but once the mistake was discovered it was corrected. Again, nothing was revoked.
But you’re not alleging that about these people. You’re not claiming there was any flaw in their naturalization. And once naturalized their citizenship is a right, not a privilege, so it can’t ever be revoked without their consent.
Yes, it can be revoked if obtained by fraud.
Listen to yourself. If naturalization was obtained by fraud, then what is there to revoke?
Once again, regardless of what you may read anywhere, even on government web sites, the law is clear: US citizenship once validly obtained can never be revoked. Any government web site that says otherwise is wrong. Any statute you find that says otherwise is wrong. The constitution does not allow congress to make a law depriving anyone born or naturalized in the USA of their citizenship.
What is there to revoke…. their citizenship.
I know this is rocket science Karen, but do try keeping up 😂😂
What citizenship? If they were not validly naturalized then they never had any citizenship, so there’s nothing to be revoked. Idiot.
The U.S. government may revoke a naturalized U.S. citizen’s citizenship for a variety of reasons.
Here are a couple of them:
– Lying during naturalization process (looking at you IIhan Omar)
– Membership in a subversive organization
Bullshit. If naturalization was obtained by fraud it was always invalid so there’s nothing to revoke. But once naturalization was validly obtained there is nothing that can revoke it. Not membership in a subversive organization, not putting on an enemy uniform and fighting against US troops, nothing.
8 USC 1451: Revocation of Naturalization
Revoked. Not nitpicked and put into words you like better.
REVOKED.
Just as I said and in exactly the circumstances I named.
So save your insults. It’s Federal Frickin Law. Read it.
Read the text, not the heading, and you will see that what’s being “revoked and set aside” is not the naturalization (which never existed) but the order admitting such person to citizenship, and the certificate of naturalization, “on the ground that such order and certificate of naturalization were illegally procured or were procured by concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation”. The order was improperly made, so it is now revoked and set aside. The certificate was improperly issued, so it is now cancelled. But the citizenship itself never happened, so there’s nothing to revoke.
The basic fact remains: US citizenship, once validly obtained by birth in the USA or by naturalization, cannot be revoked. You are not alleging that the people we are discussing had some fatal flaw in their naturalization. And without alleging that there can be no possible grounds for cancelling or revoking or setting aside anything.
Take your Jew-hate and shove it. You’re the one who needs to be booted from the country.
“May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and figtree, and there shall be none to make him afraid.”
That was written by George Washington, writing to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, Rhode Island.
It’s not Gaza that they think is occupied, it’s “Palestine”. The whole thing, as they say, “from the river to the sea”. And yes, they think all Jews deserve this fate, no matter where we live.
At least one of whom claimed she was Jewish, which just blows my mind.
The Death of Democrat Jewish Innocence
Just because someone claims to be Jewish doesn’t make it true.
Hamas has made public that their goal is to kill all the Saturday people and then all the Sunday people.
The vile Leftist dhimmis and Dhimmi-crats can’t countenance the inconvenient fact that Jews have been “settlers” and “occupiers” of the middle east for millennia before the supremacist, totalitarian, belligerent and pathology-laden ideology of “Submission” was founded; millennia before such a thing as a “Muslim” ever existed.
I suppose you find the fact that Christianity is a theological offshoot of Judaism inconvenient and something you’d like to forget. I also recall something about Jesus being a Jew.
Jews lived in the middle east well before Islam’s founding; a fact which your misguided and myopic theological bloviating doesn’t rebut.
We did it to ourselves
No, we didn’t. Our government, supported by an incalculable subset of our population, did it to the rest of us.
Especially academia. The Universities have whole lot of room to bring in ‘international Students’ via Student Visa which aren’t rigorously checked. It isn’t far off to say that unless the prospective Student has a an existing criminal record in the home Nation or has already been individually deemed a terrorist by the USG they gonna get the Visa approved.
IMO, this is folly. The presumption must shift to require the Visa applicant to prove they are not a criminal, a terrorist, terrorist supporter/sympathizer. FWIW many of the Nations these international Students come from ain’t exactly keeping good records nor are they able to provide much if any information when requested by the USG. Same scenario at the borders where they are waving through all sorts of people with all kinds of issues and beliefs incompatible with modern, Western Civ in general much less US culture.
The gleeful expressions of support that we’re witnessing around the world for goose-stepping Muslim supremacists and terrorists are the result of a fifty year-plus propaganda campaign initiated by the KGB and PLO, and, gullibly and indefensibly swallowed and propagated by European, Leftist dhimmis and American Dhimmi-crats, who never met an alleged “oppressed/oppressor” narrative that they didn’t like; no matter how manifestly contrived and fallacious.
